Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Trout, and Cats on the Bite

Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your Chesapeake Bay fishing insider. Today, October 4th, the Bay's waters are bustling with activity. Schooling striped bass are pushing bait along channel edges at dawn and dusk. Try using topwaters early and switch to soft swimbaits or bucktails on moving tides. Speckled trout and red drum are also active on grass flats.

Tides at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel are cooperative, with the next high tide expected in the morning. The weather is set for a good day of fishing, perfect for targeting catfish near the Conowingo Dam or catching some striped bass around Pooles Island.

For lures, shallow-running 4” blue/silver stickbaits are performing well at Thomas Point. For bait, cut shad is tempting big blue catfish during stable weather.

Hot spots include the Susquehanna Flats and the mouth of the West River. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for more fishing updates This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out QuietPlease.ai.
