Chesapeake Bay Fishing Forecast: Cold Temps, Snow, and Savvy Stripers
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your Chesapeake Bay fishing guru, comin' at ya from the salty shores of Virginia on this chilly December 27th mornin'. Dawn broke around 7:23 AM, sun'll dip at 6:12 PM, with low solunar activity today per Tides4Fishing charts—means fish might be a tad lazy, but don't let that stop ya.
Tides at Virginia Beach and Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel show low at 5:31 AM hittin' 1.0 ft, high around noon at 3.7 ft, then low again 6:36 PM at 1.0 ft. Fish the outgoing tide mid-mornin' when current picks up 'round structure.
Weather's turnin' wintry—NOAA and local forecasts warn of snow flurries pushin' in from the west this afternoon, winds north 15-20 knots, waves 3-5 ft. Bundle up, small craft advisory possible; stay safe out there.
Fish activity's steady despite the cold—Maryland Fishing Report from yesterday notes rockfish strikin' slow-rolled Colorado blade spinnerbaits on the bottom, chartreuse or white 5-inch soft plastics, and minnows on jig heads through the water column. Limits of striped bass comin' steady near Love Point and Papsco, plus smallmouth in creeks on trout magnets under slip bobbers. FishTalk Mag says way south Bay anglers gearin' up post-Christmas with reds and maybe late spanish mackerel on rigs with lures. Recent catches: plenty stripers 20-28 inches, some blues, puppy drum.
Best lures now? Go shaky head with Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General or tandem feather jigs for rockfish, per MLF James River tips adapted here. Vibratin' jigs and crankbaits bumpin' bottom. Live bait shines—minnows, menhaden, or bloodworms on fish-finder rigs. Artificials like spro crankbaits or omega spinnerbaits imitatin' shad if you wanna finesse 'em.
Hot spots: Hit the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings for current-rippin' stripers, or Rudee Inlet for easy access to drum and blues. Troll slow, stay vertical.
