Migrating or just hunting? In the places I fish there is a noticeable abscence of fish in the day but come night time they come in from deeper water to hunt for din-din. I find on the outer cape most fish come with (travel with) the direction of the tide, the same holds for the Elizabeths in most places although once into a known feeding location they will stem it or loaf behind rocks waiting for the current coming at them to bring a morsel their way. If there is a known ledge or point under water that does not show even at low tide I favor fishing the uptide edge. I have found that bass like to stay positioned in front of it at night more to the outer fringes so that bait travelling down the shore with the tide and encountering the underwater obstruction of thier path of travel are trapped with no where to go but out and about. This is where the bass have them by the shortfins so to say. Just my two cents, for whatever that's worth.
