Inshore Bite is the local fishing brain for Florida's Gulf Coast — Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, Sarasota, and Naples. It tells you when the bite turns on and where to be when it does: 1,000+ charted inshore spots scored hour by hour by the live bite, plus a guide's report every morning. THE HOTSPOT CHART — 1,000+ CHARTED SPOTS A live chart of the Gulf Coast's inshore water — flats, passes, bridges, piers, and reefs with real boundaries, scored hour by hour from live NOAA tides, wind, weather, solunar periods, and what's in season. Scrub the hour strip and watch your bay light up where the bite is strongest. Real FWC seagrass and oyster beds, artificial reefs on the chart, and NOAA tide stations with full curves. Mark your home waters and the map makes them yours. A GUIDE'S REPORT, EVERY MORNING Open the app to a plain-English read of your water: the tide story, today's best window, what's in season — snook, redfish, trout, tarpon, and more — and what to throw. Live NWS marine advisories before you launch. YOUR LOG MAKES IT SMARTER Snap a photo and AI identifies the species. Every catch pins to the water it came from and back-fills the tide, weather, and moon for that moment. Track trips, boats, and gear; earn badges for the waters you learn. The more you fish, the more every forecast bends toward how YOU fish. NO BOAT? YOU'RE COVERED Bridges, piers, jetties, and shorelines are charted too — spots for the shorebound angler, not just the skiff. FREE FOR 7 DAYS — NO CREDIT CARD New accounts get a week of full Pro access, no payment info required. After that, keep Pro with a subscription (30-day money-back guarantee) or stay on the free plan — the daily bite window is always free. Built in St. Petersburg by a Tampa Bay angler. No ads. Your data is yours — delete it anytime. Tide and weather data from NOAA and Open-Meteo; habitat from FWC. Always follow FWC regulations and check official conditions — Inshore Bite is a guide, not a safety or navigation device.
