Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Fishing Report Today

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

We’re kicking off the day with classic early summer weather—expect mild temperatures, light winds, and partly sunny skies across the Bay. For those heading out early, sunrise clocked in at 5:45 AM, and you’ll have good light until around 8:21 PM. The tide at Windmill Point started with a 3:44 AM high, hitting low at 10:35 AM, then swinging back up for a 4:21 PM high. Moderate tidal swings today mean solid current activity, so the bite should be best around those moving tide windows.

Fishing action is firing on all cylinders this June. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) is living up to its reputation as the southern Bay’s go-to spot. Sheepshead have moved into prime form—anglers at the CBBT pilings, especially closer to the Virginia side, are catching limits using live and frozen fiddler crabs on bottom sweeper jigs. One kayak angler pulled a full limit plus extras, while jet ski anglers reported steady action with both sheepshead and tautog. Black drum and red drum are also biting around the bridge pilings, with bull reds still found on the shallow flats though some schools are sliding out to deeper structure. Look for spadefish congregating around CBBT structure and even out to Chesapeake Light Tower for a shot at larger fish. Flounder are starting to show up along the CBBT, the HRBT, and inside all three southside inlets, with Gulp baits tipped with squid or minnow working best.

For you drum chasers, the northern sections of the CBBT and the shoals near Fisherman’s Island have been a steady producer, with bulls up to 44 inches reported just last week. Striped bass (rockfish) remain strong near the Potomac—trollers and jigging anglers are finding schoolies from the 301 Bridge down to St. Clements Island, and the Rappahannock is holding drum, rockfish, and the odd speckled trout, especially over grass flats and shallow structure. The inlets—Rudee, Lynnhaven, and the Elizabeth—are still loaded with speckled trout, with several trophy fish topping 10 pounds in recent catches.

June always brings anticipation for Virginia’s cobia season. Though it opens on June 15th, fish are already showing in better numbers at the mouth of the Bay and along the oceanfront. Boats searching the shoals and surface around the CBBT islands are finding willing takers—try large paddletails, bucktails, or shallow diving twitchbaits now, then switch to live eels as the season kicks off for the surest bite.

If you’re looking for hot spots, hit the CBBT pilings for multi-species action or try the shoals off Cape Charles and Fisherman’s Island for bull reds and the first wave of cobia. Flounder fans should check the HRBT or Lynnhaven Inlet during the moving tide for best results.

That’s your report for today—thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite!

This is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay Virginia fishing report for June 11, 2025.

Sunrise kicked off the day at 5:44 AM, and you can expect sunset around 8:28 PM. Winds early this morning were light out of the southeast, picking up just a bit as the day goes on with highs in the low 80s and partly cloudy skies—a classic June setup. Right now, we’re sitting close to a high tide mid-morning, with the water swinging back out toward low tide late this afternoon—a solid window for both structure and shoreline anglers.

Sheepshead fishing is firing up bigtime at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Both boat and kayak anglers have been pulling in good numbers off the pilings—one group landed seven sheepshead and some nice tautog using frozen fiddler crabs and live fiddlers on bottom sweeper jigs. You’ll also find black drum and even a few red drum around those bridges, plus spadefish stacking up on inshore structures and the Chesapeake Light Tower. Red drum are still roaming the flats, but a lot have started shifting to deeper structure. Folks are locating bull reds around the islands of the CBBT; sidescan sonar helps, but once you’re on them, big paddletails on two-ounce jigheads or a straight-tail plastic is the ticket.

Flounder are heating up around the CBBT and inside the local inlets—try Gulp! baits tipped with minnow or squid strips for the bigger fish. Black drum are still hanging around the islands as well, and the bite is steady, especially on peeler crab or clam.

Cobia are starting to show in stronger numbers at the mouth of the bay, which is always a highlight this time of year. The season opens up June 15th, so get your gear ready—live eels will be killer baits once that green light hits, but you can also tempt them now with bucktails, topwater lures, or shallow diving twitchbaits just inside the bay and along the oceanfront. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and even a few early summer stripers are popping up around reefs, wrecks, and the mouth of the bay.

The Rappahannock is giving up some trout, drum, croaker, and rockfish, while speckled trout action is best in the grass flats on the eastern side, especially on topwater Spooks early and paddletails as the sun climbs.

If you’re looking for a couple hot spots, head straight to the CBBT islands and pilings—always prime this time of year—or hit Fisherman’s Island for some bull reds and black drum. For flounder or spadefish, the Chesapeake Light Tower is a classic.

Best lures: bottom sweeper jigs with live fiddlers for sheepshead, big paddletails for reds, Gulp! or squid strip for flounder, and bucktails or eels for cobia. For bait, you can’t go wrong with live fiddler crabs, peeler crab, squid, and eels as we get closer to the cobia opener.

Artificial Lure checking in with your Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for June 7th, 2025.

First light hit the water at 5:46 AM, and anglers heading out early found themselves with ideal weather: a light southerly breeze, temps hovering in the low 70s to start, climbing into the mid-80s by midday, with mostly sunny skies and a gentle chop on the Bay. Sunset will wrap up your day at 8:18 PM. Tidal action is moderate, with an average tidal coefficient today, meaning currents are moving but not ripping—great conditions for working structure and creek mouths. The tide swung low just before sunrise and will push back in through midday, perfect for targeting predators as bait flushes with the incoming water, according to Tides4Fishing.

This week’s bite has been classic early-summer action. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is absolutely lighting up with sheepshead, now in their prime season. Look for those fish tight to the pilings. Fiddler crabs, sand fleas, and shrimp are your best baits—drift your offering close to the structure and hang on, because these fish pull hard. The CBBT is also holding some big spadefish; the Light Tower area has seen impressive catches as reported by Green Top Sporting Goods.

Speckled trout are feeding aggressively in the grass beds and creek mouths from Lynnhaven down to the mouth of the Bay. Early mornings and late evenings are best, especially on a falling or just-turning tide. Topwater lures at dawn can be explosive—switch to soft plastic paddle tails in natural hues like pearl or chartreuse as the sun climbs. Live shrimp or mud minnows drifted under a popping cork have also been accounting for nice numbers, as Green Top and local reports confirm.

Red drum and black drum continue their run in the lower Bay, especially near the CBBT islands and ocean-facing shoals. Big reds are crushing cut bunker or peeler crab, while the black drum are keying in on fresh clam or crab baits. The Virginia Beach piers have seen a mix of puppy drum, black drum, and the occasional bluefish, especially for folks fishing cut bait or tossing metal spoons.

Striped bass action remains steady from the 301 Bridge down to St. Clements Island with both trollers and light tackle anglers connecting. Most fish are in the slot or just above, hitting bucktails, soft plastics, and live eels. In the rivers like the Rappahannock, trout, drum, rockfish, and even some croaker are showing up for persistent bottom fishermen.

Hot spots today:

- Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel for sheepshead and spadefish—fish the pilings and adjacent structure, especially during the tide change.

- Lynnhaven River and Little Creek for speckled trout on topwater.

- The Cape Henry area for red and black drum, especially if you can drift a crab bait along the shoal edges.

If you’re after something different, the nearshore wrecks are producing flounder on live minnows, Gulp! baits, and strip baits, with the best action coming as the tide turns.

Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for Friday, June 6th, 2025.

We’ve got a classic early summer setup across the Bay with the bite steadily improving as the water temps creep up and the days get longer. Sunrise today was at 5:46 AM and you’ll have light until sunset at 8:19 PM—plenty of time to chase that fish of a lifetime. According to the latest tide charts from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, we’re looking at moderate tidal swings today, with a high tide this morning and another coming mid-afternoon. The tidal coefficient is sitting around 50, so expect average current and decent movement, especially over structure and flats.

Weather-wise, we’re sitting under partly cloudy skies with a light breeze out of the southeast. Daytime highs will push into the upper 70s, so it should be comfortable on the water.

Let’s talk fish: reports from Anglers Sport Center and FishTalk Magazine show rockfish (striped bass) are the main ticket, especially around shoreline structure and deeper pilings. Topwater plugs like Spooks and Skitter Walks are getting crushed early and late, while paddle tails and soft plastics in the 4-6 inch range are putting limits in the box for those working deeper water and current edges. In the Middle Bay, spots like the Bay Bridge pilings, Poplar Island, and Thomas Point are all producing. If you can get your hands on some live spot, they’ve been dynamite for live-lining, while jigging ½ to 1 ounce heads with natural colored plastics has been steady.

Speckled trout action is heating up, too. Green Top Sporting Goods reported a 10lb 10oz speck being landed this week—a true trophy. Target them with soft plastics and diving plugs in the mornings on grass flats, especially south of Poplar Island and down towards the mouth of the James.

In the lower Bay, The Tackle Box and Virginia Beach Saltwater Fishing say schools of bull red drum are staging with the cobia moving up behind them. Try cut mullet, peeler crab, or bunker for the big reds around the CBBT and inlets, and live eels or spot for cobia. Metal spoons and shiny jigs are fooling good numbers of bluefish, which have shown up early this season—just be prepared to lose a few plastics to those sharp teeth.

Don’t overlook white perch, spot, and croaker, now moving into the shallows. Best baits are bloodworms, grass shrimp, or small squid strips on bottom rigs. Sabiki rigs tipped with bait have been excellent for a mixed cooler. Perch Hounders and small spinners do well for casting.

My hot spots for today:

- The Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings for stripers and sheepshead

- Poplar Island’s flats for trout and slot reds

- The mouth of the James River for cobia and bull drum

# Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report for June 4, 2025

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your mid-week fishing report for the Chesapeake Bay region. Let's dive right in!

The bay's water temps are hovering in the upper 60s with a slight warming trend expected in the coming days. Sunrise was at 5:42 AM this morning and we'll see sunset at 8:25 PM tonight, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water.

The tides are running average today with a coefficient of 52, dropping to 48 by evening. We've got rising water currently with high tide expected in about 3 hours. If you're heading to the Bay Bridge Tunnel area, these moderate tides should create some nice water movement without excessive current.

Red drum fishing continues to be excellent across the lower Bay. The Elizabeth River, Rudee Inlet, and Lynnhaven are all producing slot-sized reds consistently. Cut shrimp on bottom rigs has been killer, but if you're like me and prefer casting artificials, try some Gulp! swimming mullets or Z-Man paddletails in new penny or chartreuse colors.

Speckled trout numbers are increasing daily with some impressive specimens being caught. Word is a monster 10-pounder was caught in Virginia waters last week! Focus on shallow mud flats and grassy areas as these fish feed on crabs and baitfish moving into the shallows.

The striper season is now open with a slot limit of 19" to 24" and a one fish per person daily limit. Recent rains increased flows on the upper Potomac, creating a fantastic schoolie bite with fish in the 18" to 25" range. Clouser minnows for fly anglers and jigs for spin fishermen have been most productive.

Sheepshead action at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel has been very good lately. Blue crabs make the best bait if you can get them, but fiddler crabs work in a pinch.

For those looking offshore, sea bass fishing on the ocean reefs is excellent right now, and the Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament is just around the corner, bringing some serious bluewater action.

Hot spots this week: Try the islands of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel for tautog, the Poquoson flats for cobia (currently at 65 degrees), and Mobjack Bay for specks. The flats in Lynnhaven are warming nicely and holding good numbers of puppy drum.

Good morning anglers, it’s Artificial Lure bringing you your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for June 1, 2025.

We’re starting the day with a sunrise at 5:45 AM and expecting the sun to stick around until a late sunset at 8:21 PM. Today’s tide at Windmill Point starts with a high at 3:44 AM, falling to low tide by 10:35 AM, then climbing back to a 4:21 PM high before another low just before midnight. The tidal coefficient is sitting in the average range, starting at 60 and ending at 52, so you’ll see moderate current swings, which should keep fish active, especially during moving water.

Weather’s looking favorable—mild, early summer temps and light winds mean boaters and surf casters alike should find comfortable fishing conditions throughout the Bay.

Fishing action in the lower Bay has been on fire as we move into June. The Potomac side near Colonial Beach and down to the 301 bridge has been a hotspot for schoolie striped bass, especially for trollers and anyone pitching jigs or clouser minnows. Striped bass season is officially open, so you can keep one fish per day within the 19 to 24-inch slot. There’s still plenty of accidental stripers popping up for folks chasing speckled trout and red drum, especially in the early morning and evening bites. If you’re after drum, the lower Eastern Shore around Nassawaddox and the shoals near Cape Charles are seeing bull reds to 44 inches. Black drum are pushing north and staging along the coastal beaches and Bay structures.

The inlets—Rudee, Lynnhaven, and Elizabeth River—are all producing solid numbers of speckled trout, with reports of trophy fish up to 10 lbs coming from Virginia waters just this week, according to Green Top Sporting Goods. Puppy drum are thick in these same areas, with the mud and grass flats heating up as crabs and baitfish move in. Sheepshead are holding tight to bridge pilings at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and there are more flounder and bluefish entering the mix, especially along the piers and inside Lynnhaven Inlet.

On the bait front, live spot, mud minnows, or peeler crab are top producers for stripers and drum. Artificial-wise, nothing beats a well-presented paddletail, clouser minnow, or soft plastic on a jig head for trout and reds. For sheepshead, go with fiddler crabs or sand fleas along structure.

A couple hot spots worth your time: the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings for sheepshead and keeper tog, and Cape Charles shoals for a mixed bag of drum. If you’re looking for easy access, Rudee Inlet is turning out consistent specks and puppy drum.

That’s the scoop from your local waters. Thanks for tuning in to today’s Chesapeake Bay fishing report—don’t forget to subscribe for more reports and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good morning, anglers—Artificial Lure here with your Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for Saturday, May 31st, 2025.

Sunrise was right at 5:46 a.m. and sunset’s set for 8:17 p.m. The weather’s shaping up with mild temps in the upper 70s, light winds out of the southwest, and only partly cloudy skies—ideal for spending all day on the water. According to Tide-Forecast, tides today look like this: an early high at 1:52 a.m., low at 9:15 a.m., a midday high around 2:22 p.m., and another low at 9:18 p.m. That means good moving water for both the morning and afternoon sessions, with prime fish activity at those tide changes.

Rockfish (striped bass) season is open and the bite’s been strong, especially from Love Point down to the Bay Bridge. Anglers are landing good numbers of slot fish, especially throwing half to one-ounce jigs tipped with five- to six-inch soft plastics near the bridge pilings and structure. Live-lining with spot or eels is another hot ticket if you’re after a bigger class of fish, and there are plenty of spot moving in to catch for bait—just use small pieces of bloodworm or Fishbites on a bottom rig or sabiki, and you’ll fill the livewell in no time, according to FishTalk Magazine and Anglers Annapolis.

Speckled trout and puppy drum are hot down near the river mouths and eastern shore grass flats. The Rappahannock and the islands south of the Bay Bridge Tunnel are seeing excellent action on topwater lures at first light, popping corks with shrimp-imitation baits, and three- to four-inch swimbaits. For the trout, focus on windblown points and oyster beds with plenty of current—especially as that tide swings mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Green Top Sporting Goods reports specks are spread throughout the bay’s tributaries, and anything imitating a shrimp or a small baitfish is drawing strikes.

Flounder fans, the mouth of the bay and the seaside flats are going strong when the weather’s stable. Drop Gulp! swimming mullets or bucktails tipped with strip baits right along drop-offs and channel edges for your shot at a doormat. There’s even been talk of black drum and bull reds on the grass flats and oyster bottoms—crab or clam on a bottom rig is your best bet if you want to tussle with a big drum.

Catfish are a little slower this year on the main stem, but the upper reaches of the tidal rivers are still holding some nice blue cats—fresh cut gizzard shad is the ticket there.

Hot spots? Don’t sleep on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel for a mixed bag, especially at dawn and dusk. The Rappahannock River mouth is red hot right now for specks and drum. For rockfish, anywhere with good structure and moving water from the Bay Bridge down to Calvert Cliffs is producing.

That’s a wrap for today’s report—thanks for tuning in! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss a bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good morning, anglers – Artificial Lure reporting from the heart of Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay, bringing you the latest on fishing conditions for Friday, May 30, 2025.

We had an early sunrise at 5:47AM and you can expect a beautiful sunset at 8:17PM, giving you plenty of daylight to chase your target species. Today’s tides are textbook for active fish: high tide hit at 12:59AM, low at 8:23AM, back to high at 1:27PM, and final low tide at 8:20PM. With a tidal coefficient peaking at 96, expect strong currents and pronounced tidal swings—perfect for moving bait and hungry predators, especially around structure and channel edges according to Tide-Forecast.com.

Weather-wise, we’re looking at a mild, partly cloudy day with moderate southwesterly breezes—enough to ripple the water and keep fish active, but not enough to chase you off the bay. Ideal conditions for both boat and shore anglers.

Fish activity is in high gear as we move toward summer. The striper bite has been heating up, especially around bridge pilings and rock piles. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel continues to be a striper hotspot, with many anglers reporting good action casting 5- to 6-inch soft plastics on half to one-ounce jigheads. Live spot and eels are also top producers this week, especially if you’re targeting larger rockfish hunkered down in deeper water. Anglers Sport Center and recent reports on YouTube suggest these baits are a go-to right now.

In the southern stretches and in the back bays, speckled trout and bluefish are showing up in good numbers. If you’re sight-casting for specks or blues, try topwater plugs or paddle tails early in the morning, particularly across the grassy flats and around oyster bars. For those after flatfish, bouncing Gulp! baits or bucktail jigs along sandy drop-offs has produced keeper flounder lately.

Out in deeper water, the drum bite remains solid—black drum are still being caught from the surf and near inlets, especially on fresh peeler crab or big chunks of clam. And don’t overlook the catfish action in some of the tidal rivers and northern coves, although it’s not quite as hot as previous years.

For bait anglers, you can’t go wrong with live spot, menhaden chunks, or peeler crab. Artificial fans should stick with soft plastics in white or chartreuse, paddle tails, and bucktails. Topwater lures will get early morning results if the surface chop isn’t too heavy.

A couple of hot spots to check out today:

- Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel: For stripers, blues, and flounder action.

- Lynnhaven Inlet: Especially productive for speckled trout and early-morning topwater bites.

- Back River and Poquoson Flats: Reliable for a mix of specks, reds, and schoolie stripers.

Good morning anglers this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Wednesday May 28 2025. Sunrise came at 555 am with sunset at 819 pm. Weather this morning is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s and a light south breeze. Expect prime conditions for both early morning and late evening bites.

Tides today show a high around midmorning and a falling tide through midday which should get fish moving in the main channels and near structure. Water temperatures are sitting in the upper 60s to low 70s pushing many species into active feeding patterns.

Up north between the Bay Bridge and Love Point action has been solid for those trolling or casting. Trollers are finding success with tandem rigs in natural or chartreuse colors downsizing to 4 to 6 inch baits. If you prefer casting jigs try 6 inch BKDs on half to one ounce heads targeting the drop-offs and pilings especially on the moving tide. Lots of nice fish have come from this stretch in the last week including keeper rockfish and a few blues. Hackets Bar is also turning up mixed bags for jigging and bottom fishing.

On the Virginia side and in the lower Bay big catches of mahi and yellowfin tuna are being reported offshore while inshore waters are heating up for king mackerel. The first waves of big red drum are showing at the mouth of the Bay and along the eastern shore barrier islands. Sea bass season is now open and flounder are moving into the coastal bays with improved catches on squid strips and Gulp baits.

Closer in the tidal rivers, white perch and spot are becoming more active, and catfish are thick in the creeks. Anglers soaking bloodworms, shrimp, or cut menhaden on the bottom are filling coolers. Snakeheads remain hot in marshy backwaters, attacking paddletails and topwater frogs especially during overcast periods.

Hot spots to check today include the Love Point area for stripers and blues, Hackets for bottom fishing, plus the CBBT pilings near Cape Charles for sea bass and flounder. If you prefer the shallow game, target grass beds and shorelines in the York and James rivers for white perch, catfish, and the occasional drum.

Best baits right now are bloodworms and shrimp for panfish, cut bunker for big catfish, and soft plastics or small bucktails for stripers and blues. Offshore boats should load up on squid and larger artificial lures for tuna and mahi.

Reports from the last few days are all positive with steady keeper rockfish, lots of spot and perch, bent rods on bluefish, and drum starting to move in. Whether you are trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or just soaking bait, the Bay is alive right now.

Tight lines and good luck out there today.

Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Chesapeake Bay Virginia fishing report for Monday, May 26, 2025.

We rolled into Memorial Day with pleasant weather. Early morning started calm and cool, warming up fast by midmorning. Expect highs in the upper 70s, light southwest winds around 7 to 10 knots, and mostly sunny skies. The sunrise came at 5:47 am, and sunset will be at 8:19 pm, giving us long, prime fishing hours today.

Tidal conditions are in your favor this morning, with an incoming tide peaking late morning and slack water mid-afternoon, making for a solid bite window. That incoming tide has been pushing bait into the shallows and around structure, drawing in the predators.

Fishing has been picking up steadily. Striped bass action remains strong, especially since the season opened earlier this month. Best reports keep rolling in from north of the Bay Bridge, especially at Love Point and around the bridge pilings. Boat anglers are doing well trolling with smaller tandem rigs in tan or chartreuse, with four to six inch baits bringing most of the action. If you prefer jigging, 6-inch BKDs on half to one-ounce heads, adjusted for depth and tidal current, have been hot tickets near deeper structure.

There’s plenty of spot to be had in the area, with some nice perch starting to show but not quite in big numbers yet. Bottom fishing with bloodworms or fishbites around Hacketts and nearby river mouths is producing steady catches of spot, with the occasional white perch added in.

Further out, reports of big mahi and yellowfin tuna are coming in strong for those heading offshore, and king mackerel are starting to make a showing in the lower bay. If you’re targeting flounder, action has improved in the coastal bays as the water temps warm up.

For bait, bloodworms and live minnows are still top picks for spot and perch. Soft plastics in white or chartreuse remain the go-to for stripers, while cut bunker or peeler crab can tempt catfish and the occasional drum moving into the bay.

A couple of hot spots worth your time today: Love Point for stripers, especially on the outgoing tide, and Hacketts Bar for bottom fishing with the family. If you’re after something bigger, consider running out to the lower bay reefs for king mackerel or a quick offshore trip if the weather holds.

That’s your bay report. Tight lines and stay safe on the water.
