# Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - Friday, November 28th

Good morning, this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Friday, November 28th, 2025.

We've got some excellent conditions shaping up for the end of November. The tidal situation is working in our favor today. We're looking at a low tide at 4:45 AM at 0.39 feet, followed by a high tide at 11:06 AM reaching 3.41 feet. That afternoon low comes in around 5:32 PM at 0.46 feet, with another high tide pushing through at 11:24 PM at 2.79 feet. The waxing crescent moon is creating decent solunar activity with major bite windows from 12:49 to 2:49 AM, then 1:19 to 3:19 PM. Minor windows hit from 8:27 to 10:27 AM and 6:11 to 8:11 PM. That midday window around 1 to 3 PM should be prime time.

Weather-wise, we're seeing a Small Craft Advisory that's lifting this morning at 6 AM, so conditions are improving. The day should be clearing up nicely.

Now here's where it gets good—rockfish fishing has been fantastic across the Bay this fall. Recent reports show consistent action with solid numbers being pulled in, especially with the cold snap we've had moving fish into feeding mode. When it comes to tackle, topwater lures are producing well for spring striped bass patterns, and bunker trolling spoons in blue finish are connecting with bigger fish. For bait, fresh bunker remains your go-to option.

If you're heading out, I'd recommend hitting the harbor areas around Chesapeake where baitfish concentrate in those sheltered waters. The harbor entrances are also firing—plenty of fish movement with the tidal exchange.

Thanks for tuning in to today's report. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.
