  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers Biting, Perch Plentiful as Summer Approaches

    Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers Biting, Perch Plentiful as Summer Approaches

    Mornin' anglers! Today's gonna be a scorcher out on the Bay, so grab your coolers and hit the water early. Striped bass season is now in full swing across most of the Chesapeake, except for the Way North region where it opens June 1st, so mind those boundaries.

    The Upper Bay is seeing good action around the Bay Bridge, where stripers are hitting hard during moving tides. Water temps are holding above 70 degrees, making the shallows prime territory. Spot have moved into their summer patterns and are plentiful around the Bridge, river mouths, and Six and Seven Foot Knolls. They're running 3-6 inches - perfect for live lining. Small croaker are mixed in too, though most are under the 9-inch keeper minimum[2].

    In the Middle Bay, white perch have spread out into the smaller creeks and tidal rivers. They're providing fantastic action off docks and shorelines. Grass shrimp and bloodworm pieces on simple bottom rigs are working a treat, especially near structure. For some real fun, try casting small spinners and soft plastics during dawn and dusk hours[4].

    The Way North region is still recovering from heavy rains earlier this month, but conditions should be improving. The Susquehanna's been running high and muddy with Conowingo Dam in spill condition, but the tributaries are still holding plenty of catfish and white perch for those willing to work for them[5].

    Hot spots this weekend: The Patapsco River has been firing for stripers, especially along shoreline points and riprap. The Chester River mouth is another solid bet. For perch action, try the Choptank River tributaries where they're holding in good numbers after their spawn.

    Lure selection: For stripers, bucktails tipped with soft plastics are working well in white and chartreuse. Topwater action has been solid at dawn - try Spooks or poppers along structure. For perch, small spinners in white or chartreuse and 2-3 inch soft plastics on 1/16 oz jigheads are the ticket.

    Best baits: Fresh spot for live lining stripers is hard to beat right now. For perch, grass shrimp and bloodworms are producing steady action. Fishbites in bloodworm scent have been working for spot and croaker.

    Tide's running strong mid-morning today with a high around 10:30, making the first few hours after sunrise prime time. Sunrise was at 5:47 AM and sunset will be at 8:22 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get after 'em.

    Remember, the slot limit for stripers is 19-24 inches with a one fish per person daily limit. Tight lines, y'all!

  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Snakeheads, and Catfish Bite Strong as Clarity Improves

    Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Snakeheads, and Catfish Bite Strong as Clarity Improves
    May 21 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Wednesday, May 21, 2025, covering the Baltimore and Washington D.C. region.

    It’s a warm, stable week ahead after recent rains, which stirred up plenty of muddy water and floating debris in the upper Bay and lower Susquehanna. Water is still a bit high and off-color in the northern reaches, especially near the Conowingo Dam, making river fishing tough right now. Expect improvement in clarity as we get further into the week, especially in main Bay channels and open water[2][4].

    Tidal data for today in Baltimore shows high tide around 9:40 a.m. and low tide near 3:15 p.m., with another high rolling in just before sunset. Sunrise was 5:48 a.m. and sunset will be at 8:17 p.m., giving you a nice, long window for fishing that early morning or late evening bite.

    Now to the fish. Striped bass season is open in select main Bay zones south of the Hart-Miller Island to Tolchester line, though closed in rivers and most tributaries until June 1. Double-check regulations before you wet a line. Folks drifting main channel edges and deeper ledges reported decent catches of schoolies up to 27 inches in the open areas, mostly at dawn and dusk on paddle-tail swimbaits in white or chartreuse, and on bloodworms or cut menhaden for the bait crowd[1][4].

    It’s also prime time for Chesapeake Channa—our local snakehead—especially in the grass beds and structure along the tidal stretches of the Gunpowder, Middle, and Patapsco rivers. These fish are feeding hard. Anglers using white frogs, chatterbaits, and live minnows are getting steady action. For snakehead, focus on shallow grassy flats early and late, or duck into the shaded creeks for mid-day bites[4].

    Catfish are thick in the tidal rivers, though the main Bay bite has been inconsistent. Blue and channel cats are hitting cut bait and chicken livers fished on the bottom, with the best results in the Patapsco and Bush rivers[5]. White perch action is starting to heat up too, especially near docks and hard bottoms with small spinnerbaits or grass shrimp.

    Flounder and speckled trout are still rare in the Baltimore/Washington zone, but anglers running farther down the Bay, or south into Tangier or Pocomoke Sounds, are finding action on Gulp jigs in pink or white colors[3].

    Hot spots this week include the mouths of the Gunpowder and Patapsco rivers for both snakehead and catfish, as grass beds and creek mouths are loaded with bait. Main channel edges near Pooles Island and in the open Bay south of Tolchester are producing stripers. If you want a mixed bag, try the deeper holes off Rocky Point or the mouth of the Magothy for a shot at both cats and perch.

    That’s all for today—watch the tides, keep an eye on floating debris, and match your lure color to the water clarity. Good luck and tight lines from Artificial Lure.

  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Muddy Waters, Striped Bass Openings, and Perch Hotspots

    Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Muddy Waters, Striped Bass Openings, and Perch Hotspots
    May 19 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Monday, May 19, 2025.

    The Bay's been a bit of a challenge lately, especially up north. The lower Susquehanna River and Way North region are still running high and muddy from that downpour we had at the beginning of last week. Conowingo Dam's in spill conditions, making fishing difficult in many areas[1]. If you're heading that way, focus on the tidal tributaries for catfish and white perch until conditions improve.

    Striped bass season opened on May 16th in parts of the Bay, but remember – the Way North region remains closed until June 1st[1]. The current regulations allow one fish per person per day with a slot limit of 19" to 24"[2]. Make sure you check the Maryland DNR striped bass regulation map before heading out, as the boundaries can be confusing.

    Down in the Middle Bay, things are looking more promising. White perch should be showing up in their summer spots now – look for them in shallows of tidal tributaries, areas with oyster bottom, and artificial reef sites. Small spinners, jigs, minnows, and grass shrimp have been working well[5]. The catfish bite's been better in the tidal rivers than the main stem, with blue catfish hitting in the upper portions of the Patuxent and Choptank. Fresh cut gizzard shad has been the ticket there.

    Great news for bait fishermen – spot and small croaker have started showing up in the pound nets. For those planning to live line for stripers once the season opens in your area, now's the time to stock up. Bottom rigs or Chesapeake sabiki rigs with small pieces of bloodworms or Fishbites (easier on the wallet) should do the trick[5].

    For hot spots this week, I'd recommend the Bay Bridge area where spot are starting to trickle in[3], and the artificial reefs in the Middle Bay for white perch. The Choptank River downstream of the line from Holland Point to the west entrance of Chapel Creek is also open for striped bass now and worth checking out[1].

    The weather looks to be clearing up this week, which should improve conditions throughout the Bay. Tide's running strong in the morning, so plan accordingly.

    Remember folks, regulations vary by location, so double-check before you head out. Tight lines and see you on the water!
