  • Late December Chesapeake Bay Fishing: Stripers, Blues, and Brisk Conditions
    Dec 21 2024
    For December 21, 2024, if you're planning to hit the waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, here's what you need to know:

    First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, you're looking at high tides at 12:38 PM with a height of 2.45 feet and again at 00:23 AM with a height of 2.31 feet. The low tides will be at 6:06 AM with 0.27 feet and 6:41 PM with 0.17 feet[2][4].

    The weather is expected to be chilly, typical of late December, but that's not stopping the fish from biting. Sunrise is at 7:13 AM and sunset at 4:51 PM, giving you a good window to get out there[2][4].

    Striped bass, or rockfish, are the main attraction right now. Large numbers of migratory fish have moved into the lower Potomac, particularly from the mouth of the St. Mary’s River down to where the Potomac meets the Bay. These fish are showing up with sea lice, indicating they're fresh from the Atlantic. The striped bass season is still open until the end of the month, but remember the slot limit is 19 to 24 inches, and trophy fish must be released with care[1].

    Trollers and light tackle anglers are finding success in 35 to 55 feet of water, with chartreuse baits outperforming other colors recently. Down on the Rappahannock River, the action is slower but still worth a shot, especially down river from Urbanna out to the mouth. Here, you might catch some big ones, with reports of fish over 35 inches[1].

    For those targeting blue catfish, the Rappahannock, James, and Potomac rivers are your best bets. Fresh cut eel and shad are working well for these giants, with a recent catch of a 72-pound blue catfish reported[1].

    If you're looking for hot spots, consider the lower Potomac from Colonial Beach down to the mouth of the river. Another good spot is the Rappahannock River, especially around Urbanna and the bayfront. For a more leisurely day, shore fishing or fishing from a pier like the Sea Gull Fishing Pier near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel can also yield some great catches[1][3].

    So, grab your gear, bundle up, and get out there – the Chesapeake Bay is waiting for you.

  • "Bountiful Bites: Chesapeake Bay Fishing Forecast for December 20, 2024"
    Dec 20 2024
    For December 20, 2024, the fishing scene in the Chesapeake Bay, particularly in the Virginia region, is looking quite promising despite the cooler weather.

    First, let's look at the tidal conditions. Today, the high tides are at 3:20 AM and 3:39 PM, with low tides at 9:32 AM and 10:17 PM. The tide heights are relatively mild, which should provide stable fishing conditions[2].

    The weather is expected to be chilly, but the warm fall has kept many species active. Sunrise is at 7:16 AM, and sunset is at 4:49 PM, giving you ample daylight to hit the water[2].

    In recent days, the southern Chesapeake Bay has been a hotspot for various species. Speckled trout have been abundant in tributaries like the Elizabeth River, Linkhorn Bay, and Rudee and Lynnhaven Inlet. Anglers have reported catching numerous speckled trout, along with striped bass, puppy drum, and jumbo white perch. Topwater lures during low light hours and Gulp baits on quarter-ounce jigheads have been particularly effective[1].

    Offshore, sea bass and tautog have been plentiful around wrecks and reef sites. Larger sea bass are being found further offshore, with some boats reporting limits of up to five-pound fish in short periods. Bluefish and bluefin tuna have also been spotted, with tuna found as close as five to 20 miles offshore near Virginia Beach[1].

    Around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT), anglers are catching red drum, black drum, and sheepshead. Mud crabs and shrimp have been excellent baits for these species. The bridge structures around Virginia Beach are also holding a variety of gamefish, including reds, blacks, and sheepshead[1].

    For today, consider heading to the CBBT or the tributaries mentioned earlier. Use topwater lures or Gulp baits for speckled trout and puppy drum in the shallows. For offshore fishing, target wrecks and reef sites with jigs or live baits to catch sea bass and tautog.

    Overall, the southern Chesapeake Bay is your best bet for a productive day of fishing, with a wide range of species available and favorable tidal conditions.

  • Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers, Tuna, and a Chilly Bite
    Dec 19 2024
    If you're planning to head out to the Chesapeake Bay today, December 19, 2024, here's what you need to know:

    First off, let's talk about the tides. For Fleet Point, you're looking at a high tide at 2:32 AM and another at 2:54 PM, with low tides at 8:41 AM and 9:33 PM. The water levels are relatively mild, with highs around 0.33 meters (1.08 feet) and lows just above zero[2].

    The weather has been quite chilly lately, especially after the recent cold front, which has dropped the water temperatures to around 44 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit inshore. This cold snap has triggered the migratory striped bass to start moving in, making for some exciting fishing[3].

    Sunrise today is at 7:16 AM, and sunset will be at 4:48 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water.

    Fish activity has been robust, especially with the bluefin tuna bite still active, though it's been affected by the weather. Yesterday, anglers caught some impressive bluefin, with reports of 150-pound class fish being landed offshore. However, when the bluefin weren't cooperating, anglers found success with inshore striped bass. There was a significant bass blitz, with every cast yielding multiple stripers, all 35 inches or bigger[3].

    For lures and bait, you'll want to use what works best for the species you're targeting. For striped bass, spoons, plugs, and live bait like eels or bunker are highly effective. If you're after bluefin tuna, trolling with large lures or using chunk bait can be productive. For other species like sea bass and flounder, jigs and squid or shrimp bait are good choices[4].

    Some hot spots to consider include the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which is known for its sea bass, flounder, and even occasional catches of unique fish like angel sharks. The Lynnhaven Inlet and areas around Norfolk are also great for catching a variety of species, including striped bass and bluefish[1][4].

    So, bundle up, check your gear, and get ready for a day of fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. The cold weather might be a bit uncomfortable, but the fish are definitely active and ready to be caught.
