  • Chesapeake Bay June Fishing Frenzy: Sheepshead, Cobia, and More!

    Chesapeake Bay June Fishing Frenzy: Sheepshead, Cobia, and More!
    Jun 20 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Friday, June 20, 2025 Chesapeake Bay fishing report. Let’s dive right into what’s biting, where to fish, and what you’ll need to get tight lines today.

    Sunrise hit at 5:45 a.m. and you’ve got daylight running strong until sunset at 8:27 p.m. We’re looking at nearly 15 hours of fishing light, and tides are running on a moderate swing today, with high tide expected mid-morning and tidal coefficients around 59 to 61—plenty of moving water to stir things up, especially near structure, so plan accordingly for stronger currents around the bridges and pilings. According to Tides4Fishing, the tidal flow is steady throughout the day, so expect those prime bite windows around the turns.

    The weather’s sitting pretty for June: mild temps and a light breeze out of the south, making for comfortable runs and easy drifts along the pilings and reefs. Always double-check for any pop-up thunderstorms in the afternoon—this is the Bay, after all.

    As for fish, the Bay’s on fire right now. Sheepshead are the star of the show this week, especially thick around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (CBBT) and nearby structures. Both kayak and jet ski anglers have been pulling steady numbers—multiple reports of seven or more sheepshead per trip, with some nice tautog mixed in. Frozen and live fiddler crabs are the bait of choice, especially paired with bottom sweeper jigs or dropped tight against the pilings. If you’re after tautog and black drum, the CBBT and the other local bridges are producing as well.

    Spadefish are moving in around the Chesapeake Light Tower and any inshore structure. Try smaller hooks and clam for these fighters—Green Top Sporting Goods confirms the Light Tower is giving up solid catches this week. Bull reds are still patrolling the shallow flats and are now starting to shift to deeper structure near the islands of the CBBT. Sidescan is helpful, but if you spot a school, drop large soft plastic paddletails or straight tails on a two-ounce jighead for the big hit.

    The big buzz is all about cobia—the season just opened June 15 and numbers are climbing fast at the mouth of the Bay, especially for boats working the oceanfront and just inside the Bay’s mouth. Towers are key, and many are finding fish cruising the surface. Live eels are your golden ticket, but bucktails, topwater plugs, and shallow diving twitchbaits are hot too.

    Don’t sleep on Spanish mackerel, speckled trout, puppy drum, and stripers, especially working inlets, creeks, and points near the Rappahannock. Flounder action is heating up along the CBBT and in the southside inlets.

    For hotspots, get yourself to the CBBT for a multi-species shootout—sheepshead, drum, spadefish, and cobia all in the mix. Chesapeake Light Tower is prime for spadefish and the main Bay mouth shoals are loaded with patrolling cobia and red drum.

  • June 18 Chesapeake Fishing Report: Cobia, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout Bite Hot

    June 18 Chesapeake Fishing Report: Cobia, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout Bite Hot
    Jun 18 2025
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the June 18, 2025, Chesapeake Bay fishing report—local style, just the way you want it.

    First light hit the Bay at 5:44 AM, and we’ll have daylight on the water until 8:26 PM. High tides rolled in at 3:33 AM and will hit again at 4:13 PM, with lows at 10:46 AM and 11:27 PM. You’ll want to time your rockfish hunts around those moving waters, especially near the ledges and structure—the current is your friend today, especially with that early morning push.

    Current surface water temps are running in the mid to upper 60s, cooling things just enough to keep bull red drum and cobia active. Cobia season officially opened a few days ago, and more boats are finding them at the mouth of the Bay, particularly around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT), the oceanfront shoals, and up by Fisherman’s Island. Live eels are money for cobia, but big bucktails, topwater plugs, and shallow diving twitchbaits are also putting fish in the boat.

    The CBBT is absolutely firing for sheepshead right now. Folks are grabbing limits on frozen and live fiddler crabs, especially around the second and third islands and the pilings close to the Virginia side. Along with sheeps, there are some nice tautog showing up. For bait, you can’t beat those fiddler crabs on a bottom sweeper jig—presentation is everything. There are also spadefish stacking up around inshore structure and the Light Tower. Hit ‘em with small hooks baited with clam or the classic bits of jellyball.

    If you slide inside the inlets—Lynnhaven, Rudee, and the flats around Poquoson—you’ll find a mixed bite. Speckled trout are taking topwater spooks early, and soft plastics over the grass beds when it brightens up. Some redfish are cruising the shallows, but it’s still a bit spotty. A couple of folks reported success with large paddletails and jerkbaits, especially near Mobjack Bay and the Rappahannock shallows.

    On the southern Bay ocean wrecks and reefs, bluefish up to three pounds are in and ready to crush shallow diving cranks and flashy metals. The early run of Spanish mackerel fizzled, but a few are still biting around the CBBT—silver and pink spoons are your best shot.

    Hotspots today:
    - CBBT (for cobia, sheepshead, spadefish, and bluefish)
    - The flats around Fisherman’s Island (for bull reds, cobia)
    - Poquoson flats and Lynnhaven Inlet (for speckled trout and the occasional red)

    Bait up with eels or fiddler crabs for the big targets, and have those topwaters and soft plastics ready for when the bite turns on. Tide swings mean changing action, so stay mobile and keep your eyes on the water.

  • June 15 Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Sheepshead Sizzling, Cobia Season Opens, Variety Abounds

    June 15 Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Sheepshead Sizzling, Cobia Season Opens, Variety Abounds
    Jun 15 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your fresh Chesapeake Bay, Virginia fishing report for June 15, 2025.

    The summer pattern is fully locked in now, and the fishing action is heating up right alongside the rising water temps. First, let’s talk tides: the first high tide rolls in at 1:05 AM with a second high at 1:37 PM, low tides at 8:31 AM and 8:29 PM. Sunrise was at 5:44 AM, and you’ve got daylight until sunset at 8:25 PM—plenty of time to get on the water and get after it, especially with calm, warm weather and light winds in the forecast, perfect for a full day on the Bay, according to Tide-Forecast.com.

    Sheepshead fishing is in prime form along the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The bridge pilings have been loaded with hungry fish, and both frozen and live fiddler crabs fished on bottom sweeper jigs are the ticket. Kayaks and jet skis have been doing real work out there, routinely bagging limits. You’ll also bump into some nice tautog and even some big spadefish around the structure—spadefish are lighting up bite-wise at the CBBT and at the Chesapeake Light Tower just offshore, as reported by FishTalk Magazine and Green Top Sporting Goods.

    Red drum and black drum action is steady. The bull reds are moving from shallow flats to the deeper structure, with CBBT islands and nearby rocky zones being hotspots. If you’re on a boat, keep an eye on your sidescan—locate the schools, then drop big paddletails or straight tails rigged on two-ounce jigheads right into the fray.

    Heads up: cobia season opens today in Virginia waters, and anticipation is sky-high. Boats running towers along the oceanfront and inside the Bay mouth are already spotting them, and numbers are set to rise all month. Live eels are proven producers, but don’t overlook artificial lures like bucktails, topwater plugs, and diving twitchbaits for a solid shot at these bruisers.

    For those targeting variety, Spanish mackerel and bluefish are cruising the lower Bay, especially around buoys 8 and 10 in 30-35 feet of water. Trolling Clark spoons or Drone spoons behind planers is the go-to setup. Meanwhile, flounder are starting to snap along the CBBT and inside the southside inlets, with Gulp! baits and bucktail jigs taking their share of fish.

    Hot spots today: the CBBT (especially between islands two and three), the Chesapeake Light Tower for spadefish, and the flats east of Fisherman’s Island for red drum and cobia. For those looking to mix it up, the HRBT and the Rappahannock are both solid bets for trout, croaker, and the occasional rockfish.

    That’s the scoop from your local water. Thanks for tuning in, folks—don’t forget to subscribe for more reports and updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
