Fishing Report:

Upper Bay:

Perch fishing has been good using spinners in the shallows and bloodworms, fishbites, and grass shrimp over oyster beds on bottom rigs, sabikis, and jigging sabikis. Striped bass are being caught in the shallows near rocks during the mornings and evenings and can also be caught in schools busting on the service with spoons and paddle tails.

Lower Bay:

Speckled trout and redfish are being caught on drop-offs, grass flats, and marshes with paddle tails, jerk baits, twitch baits, popping corks, and more. Cobia can be caught sight casting with bucktails or chumming with live eels. Finally, Spanish mackerel can be caught by casting spoons and metals when they are busting on the surface or by trolling spoons on planner boards.

Freshwater:

The snakehead and bowfin bite has been decent with chatter baits, spinners, paddle tails, and frogs in the rivers and lakes they reside in. Largemouth bass fishing has been slow due to the extreme heat so its time to go finesse and deep to catch largemouth. You can use deep diving crank baits, ned rigs, big worms, and other soft plastics to catch them.


Progress Report:

We have worked for the past few weeks editing and gaining footage to complete 5 videos. We spent a week in Whitestone VA fishing, filming, and researching the effectiveness of lures. 

Videos will soon be posted here:
