As waters cool, many of the blue catfish in the Chesapeake tidal rivers are expected to move down to lower sections of the rivers. Chesapeake Channa, aka northern snakehead, are active and aggressively striking topwater lures and paddletails. Fishing for white perch in the tidal rivers continues to be worth the effort for those fishing with grass shrimp near piers and structure. Freshwater fish are becoming increasingly active throughout the day. At the Ocean City Inlet, anglers are enjoying excellent fishing for sheepshead along the jetties. Sand fleas, pieces of crab, and wild shrimp are all good baits to fish for the sheepshead. Flounder fishing at the inlet has also been very good; bluefish are being caught by casting jigs or drifting cut bait. |
