On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we bring you a can’t-miss springtime Chesapeake Bay fishing report with special guest Chris Malgee of VB Backwater Guide Service. If you’re planning to fish the lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach, or anywhere in the Hampton Roads fishing scene, this episode is loaded with high-level insight, tactics, and real-time conditions you need to know right now.

We take a deep dive into springtime fishing at Virginia Beach, breaking down everything from speckled trout fishing patterns to targeting aggressive puppy drum (redfish) in shallow-water environments that resemble the Florida Keys right here in the Mid-Atlantic. Chris shares expert knowledge on locating fish in skinny water, reading grass flats, and dialing in presentations that consistently produce bites during the spring transition.

This episode also covers:

• The latest Chesapeake Bay fishing report and how seasonal changes are impacting fish behavior 
• How to target bull redfish and slot-sized reds in the lower bay 
• Current speckled trout fishing conditions and how a recent cold snap could affect the fishery 
• Proven techniques for striper fishing in the Chesapeake Bay during the spring migration 
• Key areas around Virginia Beach fishing hotspots and how to approach them like a guide 

If you’re serious about Chesapeake Bay fishing, speckled trout, redfish, and striped bass, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
