As water temperatures push past the mid 70s, anglers will see the larger slot-size striped bass in deeper and cooler waters during the day. The higher salinity values in the lower Chesapeake Bay may urge Spanish mackerel and cobia to arrive a little earlier and stay longer. Largemouth bass are moving to a summer pattern of behavior where they feed mostly at night and low light conditions and seek cool shade during the day. Surf anglers are enjoying catches of kingfish and a mix of flounder, blowfish, and bluefish this week. |
