Chesapeake Channa, aka northern snakehead, can be found in most of the region’s tidal rivers and the grass beds of the western shore’s waters tend to provide some of the best fishing opportunities. Casting paddletails, soft frogs, and fishing large minnows are good ways to target them. The lower Chesapeake Bay offers a variety of exciting fishing options this week. An influx of Spanish mackerel in the past week has livened up the trolling community who have been catching mostly bluefish for the past month. This is an excellent time to fish for largemouth bass due to cooler water temperatures. The largemouth bass are aggressively feeding on a variety of prey, working the edges of grass looking for crayfish and baitfish. |
