Every tidal river in the upper Bay has its share of blue catfish. Cut menhaden and gizzard shad are two of the most popular baits but many anglers have good luck with novelty baits of chicken, cheese, and chicken liver. Fishing for white perch is very good this week and with declining water temperatures, this is a good time to fish the shallower waters of tidal creeks and rivers. A major focus of the lower Bay fishing community is fishing the shallower waters along the shores of the Bay and tidal rivers for a mix of puppy drum, striped bass, speckled trout, and bluefish. Fishing for largemouth bass is about as good as it gets this week for anglers pursuing one of their favorite freshwater fish. |
