Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your June 22, 2025, Chesapeake Bay fishing report, covering the Baltimore and D.C. corridor down to the Lower Bay. Let’s get right to what’s biting, where, and what’ll put ‘em in the boat.

We’re starting off with the tides: high at 5:55 AM and again at 6:28 PM, with low tide at 11:48 AM. Sunrise hit at 5:45 AM, and sunset’s not till 8:27 PM, so you’ve got a long window to chase today’s bite. According to Tide-Forecast.com, we’re seeing a strong tidal coefficient, meaning active flows—great news for anyone chasing fish around structure.

The weather holds steady with calm early conditions and light southerly winds building through the afternoon. Temperatures top out in the low 80s, and skies are partly cloudy—no major storms in sight. With water temps warming, activity is picking up across the board.

Let’s talk species. In the upper and middle Bay, the rockfish (striped bass) bite is the main attraction. FishTalk Magazine points out that the Patapsco River, Love Point, and the stretch down to Tolchester have been producing well, especially early and late. Topwater lures at daybreak and dusk are hot—think classic walk-the-dog plugs or paddletail plastics on a ⅜ oz jighead. Don't overlook live spot or soft crab if you’re going natural. There’s also been a solid perch bite in the creeks and river mouths, especially around the Magothy and Severns, with white perch responding well to Gulp 2.5” minnows on bottom rigs, along with bloodworm-tipped hooks.

Down in the lower Bay, the action’s heating up for flounder, sea bass, and cobia. According to Great Days Outdoors, the cobia season is in full swing. Cobia have been reported around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT), with anglers sight-casting to fish on the surface using large bucktails tipped with eel or soft plastics. Sea bass and flounder are coming off the wrecks and reefs—try jigging Gulp swimming mullets or baiting with squid strips.

For those looking for hotspots, you can’t go wrong with these local legends:
- The mouth of the Patapsco River, particularly the channel edges and the Key Bridge pilings, is delivering on resident stripers and the occasional large perch.
- Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is firing for cobia, flounder, and sea bass, especially during the moving tide windows.

If you’re near the rivers, don’t forget the white perch are thick in the shallows—great for family fun with simple bottom rigs, bloodworms, or Fishbites.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, June 21 fishing report for the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore, and D.C. region.

Today greeted anglers with that classic early-summer weather—light southwest breezes, highs around 81°F, and plenty of sunshine. The sun popped up at 5:45AM and won’t dip below the horizon until 8:27PM, giving us a full day on the water. Tides peaked early this morning at 4:51AM and will rise again at 5:29PM, with lows just before lunchtime and around midnight, according to Tide-Forecast.com. That means moving water and prime bites around the mid-morning ebb and late afternoon flood.

Striped bass (rockfish), bluefish, and speckled trout are lighting up the Bay right now. Reports this week from FishTalk Magazine and The Tackle Box highlight consistent catches of rockfish in the 19–24” slot, especially along the Patapsco, the mouth of the Severn, and out toward Love Point and the east side toward Tolchester. Topwater lures have been drawing vicious strikes in low light, while soft paddletails and jerk shads on moving tide are working well by day.

Blues are running with the rockfish schools, especially near deeper structure and around the Target Ship. A few Spanish mackerel are starting to trickle up as waters hit 80°F, hinting at the hot summer season just ahead. Speckled trout activity is building fast, particularly in grassy shallows north of the Bay Bridge and into the Potomac and Rappahannock. Try popping corks rigged with paddle tails or Gulp! shrimp over the grass beds for your best shot—Eric Packard’s crew boated six specks to 27” fishing that way just days ago.

White perch are pushing up into the rivers—Severn, Magothy, and the Patapsco—chewing well on bloodworms and small plastics, especially around docks and rock piles. Croaker are starting to show, and the blue catfish bite is absolutely on fire in the Upper Bay—don’t be surprised to wrestle a 30- or even 40-pounder from the Flats or Susquehanna.

Best artificial baits: Spooks, Skitter Pops, and Heddon Topwaters at dawn or dusk; Z-Man 5” paddletails and BKDs jigged near structure mid-day. For bait: bloodworms, cut bunker, and peeler crab are pulling the most consistent numbers, especially for perch, croaker, and cats.

Hot spots to try? The mouth of the Severn near Thomas Point, the Patapsco between Fort Carroll and the Key Bridge, and the Tolchester area on the east side—each is producing steady action for rockfish, blues, and big cats. Don’t overlook Poplar Island for mixed bag fishing or the grass beds off the mouth of the Potomac for specks and reds.

Artificial Lure here with your June 21, 2025, Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Baltimore and the D.C. area.

We’re rolling out of a warm, mostly clear night with sunrise at 5:45AM and sunset at 8:27PM. The big story today is the tide—high at 4:51AM and again at 5:29PM, with low slack around 10:50AM. These moving tide windows are where you want to be tossing your baits, especially early and late in the day. Water temps are pushing 80 degrees, which is putting a lot of our summer species on the move, and the tidal coefficient sits right around 60, meaning we’ve got enough current to stir up a solid bite.

Striped bass are the marquee target right now, and the main stem of the Bay—especially near the Bay Bridge pilings, Thomas Point, and the Hill at Eastern Bay—is producing solid fish in the 19 to 24 inch slot. The Patapsco River and the stretch from Love Point to Tolchester are also red hot, especially on topwater plugs at dawn and dusk or soft plastics jigged along channel edges and structure. Live spot, soft plastics, and bucktails are the lures of choice, with white and chartreuse paddletails getting tons of attention. Early reports from Anglers Sport Center also mention bridge pilings and rock piles as prime real estate—don’t forget your heavier jigheads if the current’s ripping.

Bluefish are starting to mix in, with some impressive catches up to 31 inches reported near the Target Ship and around the main shipping channel between buoys 8 and 10. Spanish mackerel are creeping up from the south; anglers trolling gold or silver spoons at 6-8 knots are seeing increasing numbers, with the action expected to heat up as we close in on July.

For you multi-species anglers, white perch and snakeheads are very active in the upper bay creeks and tidal rivers. A small spinner, grass shrimp, or bloodworm under a float will put perch in the cooler, while frog-pattern topwaters draw explosive strikes from snakeheads in thick grass.

Special mention for the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers—Eric Packard reports jigging over open-water structure and rocky piles has produced banner days, with boats catching 30 to 60 stripers and speckled trout mixed in, including some trout up to 27 inches. For the trout and puppy drum, toss popping corks with soft-plastic shrimp or paddletails, especially over grass beds and during running tides.

Hot spots for today:
- Bay Bridge pilings (striped bass, live spot and jigs)
- Thomas Point and The Hill (stripers, speckled trout, jigging and topwaters)
- Target Ship and channel buoys 8-10 (bluefish, mackerel on trolled spoons)
- Upper Bay creeks (white perch, snakeheads, small spinners, live bait)

Good morning, anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for June 20, 2025, covering the Baltimore and Washington D.C. region.

Sunrise hit at 5:45 AM today, and you’ll have until about 8:25 PM to get lines wet before sunset, with over 14 hours of daylight to chase fish. The high tide rolled through the lower Bay around 3:44 AM, and you can expect another low at 9:55 AM, then rising again into the early afternoon. Tidal amplitudes are in the mid-50s to low 60s—average water movement, so look for some action on moving water, especially near structure and drop-offs according to tides4fishing.com.

Weather is classic Chesapeake summer: warm, muggy, and mostly sunny with light winds out of the southwest. Surface water temps are brushing up near 80 degrees, which means the summer migration is in full swing.

Let’s talk fishing: Rockfish (striped bass) action has been spotty in the Middle Bay, especially around the South River and some shorelines, but the early morning and cloudy windows are proving out. Topwater red and white Game On plugs have drawn strikes along Poplar Island, with some fish up to 26 inches. Around the Bay Bridge pilings, live liners are still pulling some decent stripers, especially on the west side. Livelining spot or chunking soft crab remains effective here, and the bite is best at sunrise[FishTalk Magazine].

Spot and croaker numbers are way up in the rivers and mouths—Sandy Point and the tidal creeks are loaded with small ones, and a few keepers are mixed in. Bloodworms or Fishbites on bottom rigs are the ticket here. Bluefish are showing solidly in the Choptank mouth near Sharp’s Island Light, popping up in schools and chasing bait at 20 to 40 feet. Trolling with rubber hoses behind inline sinkers or “spoonbrella” rigs is producing best, with most bluefish in the two to five-pound range, but a few up to 10 pounds are out there[FishTalk Magazine].

White perch fishing has turned on in the last week or so, particularly in the Severn and Magothy Rivers, and around the Patapsco. Look for them shallow, throwing small jigs, Gulp! plastics, or bottom rigs with bloodworm pieces. Folks have even been picking up modest croaker mixed in with the perch south of the bridge. Early and late in the day is best, especially around docks and rocky structure[YouTube: Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report].

Hot spots this week:
- Bay Bridge pilings for rockfish and spot
- Sharp’s Island Light area for bluefish
- Magothy River and Patapsco for white perch and croaker

Don’t overlook the Potomac River, where open water jigging over rock piles in 20 feet has produced days of 30 to 60 striped bass, mostly in the 19 to 24-inch range.

Your best bets today: topwater lures at dawn for stripers, bloodworms or Fishbites on bottom rigs for croaker and spot, and Gulp! on small hooks for shallow perch.
