  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - Drum, Blues, Specks and More on a Muggy August Day

    Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - Drum, Blues, Specks and More on a Muggy August Day
    Aug 10 2025
    Good morning, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for Sunday, August 10, 2025.

    The sun’s up at 6:13 AM and we’ll see it set over the water at 8:04 PM—so there’s a solid window for fishing all day today. Local weather is calling for a typical muggy August morning in the upper seventies climbing to mid-eighties by afternoon, with a southerly breeze picking up through the day. That’ll keep the chop manageable, but keep an eye out mid-bay later as thunderstorms can pop up quick this time of year.

    Tides are working in our favor. At Fleet Point, we saw a high tide right around midnight with low at 7:04 AM, then the next high will be about 1:45 PM. Meanwhile, at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, expect low at 5:39 AM and a push toward the next high right in the middle of the day. Peak tidal movement will be late morning into that lunch hour—prime time for big fish to feed according to Tides4Fishing and Tide-Forecast.

    Water temps are holding warm, making the fish feisty but pushing them toward deeper holes or channels as the heat builds. Fish are chasing comfort zones, so focus your efforts near drop-offs, artificial reefs, and shaded structures. Creeks and shallows will be best early and late.

    What’s biting? Inshore has been on fire for Red Drum and Bluefish. Reports from up and down the Virginia stretch say the big drum are still hanging along the bars and flats—several catches over 40 inches were reported this past week by Hatteras Harbor Marina, and there’s a solid mix of slot fish, too. Bluefish are tearing up just about anything shiny, especially during the moving tide. Speckled Trout are popping up with the lower light, especially around grassy points and creek mouths. If you’re out after sunrise or sunset, target those areas for your best shot at a trophy.

    Offshore action’s a little pickier, but when folks have made it out, they’re finding limits of Dolphin (mahi), the odd Wahoo, and some Blackfin Tuna. Tidal Fish Forum reports also mention some solid Spanish Mackerel action right off Cape Henry and over the lumps, so keep those spoons and gotchas handy.

    Top baits and lures right now:
    - For Reds and Blues, you can’t beat a gold spoon or a chartreuse 4-inch paddletail on a jig head. Soft plastics like ZMans and Gulp have been putting in the work, especially in New Penny and Electric Chicken colorways.
    - Live Menhaden and spot are gold for the bigger drum. Cut mullet is a classic—don’t overthink it.
    - For specks, low and slow with MirrOlures or popping cork rigs rigged with shrimp imitations seem to be the ticket at dawn or dusk.
    - Topwater action right at first light will bring explosive bites, whether you’re throwing a Super Spook or a smaller popping plug near grass or oyster bars.

    If you’re after something a little different, August is peak time for crabbing and the Chesapeake’s blue crabs are thick. Folks down near Lynnhaven and around the mouth of the York River are hauling in full baskets—get yourself a trotline or a couple of collapsible traps and don’t forget the chicken necks.

    A couple of hot spots you don’t want to miss today:
    - **Lynnhaven Inlet oyster reefs**—great numbers of trout and the occasional flounder drifting soft plastics on the outgoing tide.
    - **Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings**—always a classic, with big Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel slashing bait on moving water; drop a bucktail or vertical jig for a shot at a late-summer Cobia too.

    Don’t forget, local tackle shops like Wilkins Brothers Bait & Tackle in Chesapeake Beach can set you up with the freshest bait and a little homespun advice to keep your cooler full.

    Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s report. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the action, and remember—tight lines and smooth waters out there, anglers.

  • Chesapeake Bay VA August 9th Fishing Report: Stripers, Reds, Cats Biting Strong

    Chesapeake Bay VA August 9th Fishing Report: Stripers, Reds, Cats Biting Strong
    Aug 9 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Chesapeake Bay Virginia fishing report for August 9th, 2025. The sun rose at 6:16 this morning and will set at 8:02 tonight. We’ve got a nice long day to put some lines in the water and chase what’s biting.

    Let’s get right to the tides: today’s low tides come in at 5:38 AM and 5:38 PM, with high tides hitting around 10:43 AM and again just after 11 tonight. That means you’ll have moving water mid-morning and early evening, which is prime for stirring up both bait and hungry gamefish—and sets the pace for a productive day, especially around the grass flats and structure.

    Weather is typical summery heat, with muggy air and light chop on the Bay, so make sure to stay hydrated and wear your sun protection. Winds are calm to light out of the southeast, which should leave most inshore and near-shore spots perfectly fishable, though the bite might slow down in the dead heat. Have a plan for the mid-day lull.

    Fishing activity has been solid across the region. The lower Bay rivers—think Elizabeth, York, and James—are holding schools of striped bass, red drum, and some solid speckled trout this week according to the latest Lower Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report. Rockfish can still be caught on heavy jigs or soft plastics fished along channel edges, pilings, and drop-offs. Early morning and dusk are your best windows before the heat shuts them down.

    Catfish action has been ramping up in the upper Bay tributaries—reports are coming in from the Potomac, Pocomoke, and Rappahannock systems as well as the tidal stretches of the Chickahominy and Appomattox. Blue catfish and flatheads are both on the chew. Cut herring is working wonders right now—locals swear by it, and it’s matching the main forage.

    If you’re in for a variety, the hard-bottom spots around the middle Bay are giving up good numbers of spot and croaker, plus a few chunky white perch—especially around the mouths of the rivers and near oyster beds. Drop a bloodworm, shrimp, or Fishbites strip right to the bottom and wait for that peck. Kingfish rigs tipped with shrimp are also picking up some tasty kingfish for the cooler.

    In the surf, action’s slower, but you may still run into some flounder, bluefish, and the odd bull red. If you’re itching for a fight, fresh cut mullet or bunker on a big surf rig may tempt a feeding ray or a stray drum. And don’t forget, the menhaden management debate is still front and center with changing rules—so always check if there have been any last-minute closures or restrictions before heading out.

    Top lures today: 4- to 6-inch paddle tails in chartreuse or white for stripers and red drum; gulp swimming mullets or bait-fueled plastics for flounder; and crankbaits or inline spinners for perch in the creeks. Live bait, especially fresh herring or menhaden, is still the gold standard for catfish and bigger drum.

    Hot spots worth your time: try the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel for stripers and trout at sunrise, or hit the hard-bottom patches off Cape Charles and Cherry Point for spot, croaker, and a mixed bag. If you want a peaceful bend in the rod, find a shaded bank up the Chickahominy with cut bait for cats—there’s good numbers and size right now.

    Thanks for tuning in this morning and riding along with Artificial Lure—don’t forget to subscribe for daily local reports and tips, and check back tomorrow for your next update. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Blues, and More on the Summer Flats and Channels

    Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Blues, and More on the Summer Flats and Channels
    Aug 8 2025
    It’s another August morning here on the Chesapeake—Artificial Lure dialing in with your local fishing report for August 8, 2025. Welcome, anglers.

    First light broke at 6:08 a.m., and sunset will be around 8:07 p.m., so you’ve got over 14 hours of daylight to work with. The marine weather is friendly: warm, stable, just flirting with low-80s water temps, and only a mild chance of afternoon storms, so get out there early before the heat pumps up[6][5]. Tidal action is prime: a morning low rolled through around 5:45 a.m. with the next high tide cresting late morning and another low this evening. Strong tidal coefficients today mean good current movement and often heavy fish activity on the turn, especially for stripers and bottom dwellers[6][10].

    On the catching side, this has been a classic dog-days-of-summer week. Middle Bay is still producing respectable striped bass, especially around sunrise and late in the evening—topwater walkers and poppers cast along the Choptank, Patapsco, and Eastern Bay flats are getting slashed, while deeper spots near the Bay Bridge and up by Pooles Island are best fished with live spot or soft crab drifted near the pilings[3][5]. Jigging soft plastics in shad or bunker patterns at the bridge piers at dawn gets the rods bent, too.

    Bluefish have pulled back from last week’s surface frenzy but can still be found hunting bait on the channel edges near the mouth of the Potomac and the Target Ship—drop cut spot or paddle-tail jigs tight to the bottom for a shot at these toothy bruisers[3]. Out further toward the mouth, anglers drifting bloodworms and peeler crabs are hauling in a nice mix: spot, croaker up to 13 inches, northern blowfish, small sea bass, and kingfish. Pound for pound, white perch are steady on the shallows and shoals, smacking spinners and small jigs, especially around Sandy Point, the western Bay Bridge, and the Magothy mouths[5].

    Snakehead are heating up in the grassy tidal rivers—walking frogs and chatterbaits worked early, or cut bait on bottom rigs, will do the trick if you’re after a different sort of drama this summer[3]. And don’t overlook blue catfish, which are reliably hitting cut bait and chicken parts in the Susquehanna and Elk, Chester, and most major tidal rivers[5].

    Bait and tackle rundown? Live spot is king for stripers and larger blues this week. Bloodworms, peeler crab, and shrimp are producing croaker, kingfish, and perch. For artificial fans, try 4- to 5-inch paddletails, bucktail jigs tipped with Gulp, and, for jacks and pompano if you’re at the ocean interface, throw spoons and Gotcha plugs. Banana jigs paired with sand fleas or shrimp are also reliable for pompano[4].

    Local hot spots to try today:

    - The Bay Bridge east pilings and 30-foot edge—drift live bait or bounce jigs at first light.
    - Channel edges near the Brick House Bar and Gum Thickets—stripers and late bluefish on cut bait or soft plastic lures.
    - The mouth of the Choptank, especially near Cambridge, for steady striper and bluefish action on live-lining spot.

    For those watching the forage base, there’s worry among watermen about shrinking menhaden numbers, with commercial and recreational interests butting heads over management. But the boards say no overfishing confirmed yet, so bait remains available—just don’t wait too long if you want to stock up[1].
