Howdy folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing in and around Chesapeake Bay. Today, October 3rd, 2025, expect partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain. The Chesapeake Bay waters offer stable conditions with surface temperatures in the mid-70s, slowly cooling down.

Tidal action is significant this week, with high tides around 8:07 AM and 8:25 PM today in Chesapeake City. Sunrise is at 7:01 AM, and sunset will be at 6:41 PM. The fishing is good, with striped bass showing up in the middle Bay, particularly near the Bay Bridge piers. Bluefish remain active, especially in the middle and lower Bay, with trolling surgical tube lures and spoons being effective methods.

For white perch, try grass shrimp near docks and oyster reefs. In the lower Bay, catches of bluefish up to six pounds are common. Largemouth bass are active near grass beds and structures, with topwater lures and spinnerbaits being great choices.

Hot spots include the Bay Bridge piers and the mouth of the Potomac River. Don't miss out on the action!
