Fresh Fishing Reports from Chesapeake Bay

Get ready for spring fishing!!

March 9, 2023

Spring is right around the corner and I am extremely excited to get back to some nice warm temperatures! During the month of April I will be fishing for Speckled Trout and Perch around remote islands in the Chesapeake Bay and Rivers. The Chesapeake Bay holds some pretty impressive Speckled Trout. If you are looking to catch a new personal best size "Spec" this is the time of year you want to get out and give it a try. As we move into May and June the Chesapeake Bay opens back up to Striped Bass fishing, giving us the opportunity to catch Stripers and Specs at the same time. Later in June we will expect to see some Bluefish and Red Drum show up as well. 2023 fishing season is about to take off don't miss your chance to get on the water and catch some fish!

Fishing is heating up!

Trophy season is always a gamble but sometines it pays off big! Outstanding day on the water. Jesse and Jayson got there first and several other light tackle 40’s. We had fish to 47” and several 30” class fish come over the rails. We caught the majority of the fish away from birds and relied on side, scan to detect the fish in bait.

Just remember it's for fun and there is no magic wand a Captian and crew can wave to make the fish bite. So if the fish don't cooperate then just enjoy the ride and the view and have fun.

The fishing in Poquoson is fantastic, and you will catch multiple species. And, the scenery is beyond beautiful. You also don't have a long haul to the fishing grounds, so you get to spend more time catching than traveling. I whole heartedly recommend taking a trip here, and Marshland Expeditions will never fail to please.

I think other than the weather fishing would’ve been a little better, plus going in trophy rock season probably wouldn’t do that again but we did catch some decent size cat fish.

Find bloodworms and lug worms before your trip. I don't recommend staying at the Quantity Inn in Gloucester. Under major construction and the front desk help is not professional or nice.

To remember it's up to the fish whether they're going to bite or not they're not it's not the captain or the 1st mate are captain and 1st mate were great. Our captain tried very hard to put us on fish. The captain and 1st mate were a pleasure to be around and work with.

To hot at current time for anything reliable catching, east coast is in a heat wave. It may be better at other times or in different years just not the time we went.

I would just recommend making sure that the weather is right for you, especially if you are prone to seasickness (ours was great anyway).

Just know fishing can go either way. Some days you hit the jackpot, and other days you just catch some fish. But, a bad day fishing beats a good day at work, every time. Enjoy the ocean, forget the cell phone except to take photos, and have a relaxing day.
