Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reports

Your Chesapeake Bay Fishing Experience

Stay connected with current fishing action by checking out the King Tide Charters fishing reports page. Here, we share real-time updates straight from the water to help you plan your next trip with confidence. Our reports cover everything from active species to where the bite has been best. Whether you're hoping to hook into Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass, Cobia, or Redfish, our reports give you a reliable preview of what to expect during your outing.

Each update includes details on fish activity, weather patterns, and bait performance, all based on our most recent charters. We highlight successful techniques, productive depths, and general conditions across the Chesapeake Bay and nearby inshore waters. Our goal is to provide helpful insight for anglers of all skill levels—whether you're preparing for your first trip or fine-tuning your approach for a return visit.

You’ll also get a look at what our guests have been catching across locations like the Atlantic Ocean, Shell Creek, Magothy Bay, and South Bay. These firsthand reports reflect both the day-to-day changes on the water and the consistent effort of our crew to put guests on fish. From large Cobia to light tackle catches of Spanish Mackerel, our reports showcase what’s currently in season and biting strong.

For anyone considering a charter, these fishing reports are a great place to start. You'll get a clear picture of what kind of trip you can expect, what techniques we’re using, and how the current conditions are shaping up. Check back often for fresh updates, and when you're ready to plan your Chesapeake Bay fishing trip, King Tide Charters will be ready to guide the way.

South Florida Permit Slam Weekend fishing report coverpicture

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel - Northampton, VA Inshore Report on 24th Jun, 2026 - 1

Little bit of some much needed de thawing. Been a long winter away from the water. That #parttimer life catches up with you I guess. Glad to see the permit are right where we left them the last year. Quick trip down south for the weekend. Think we ended up with 17 permit, big ass jewfish, gags, snook, and tarpon. Doesn’t get any better. #grandslam • VA Calendar will find its way. Still got plenty of time for that. Back to it.🥁 • • • • • @invincible_jigs @evergladesboats

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel - Northampton, VA Inshore Report on 24th Jun, 2026 - 2

Pretty sight! Washed the pollen off the boat and gave it a shot. Conditions were right but ocean still pretty lifeless. Someone had to do it. 0/2 on browns with a few drum pods to look at. Give it another shot when water shapes up. #parttimepeter

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel - Northampton, VA Inshore Report on 24th Jun, 2026 - 3

Back in the saddle. Heard they showed up yesterday and had to check it out. Shot down I-95 last night and made a day of it. Not hot and heavy and fish were picky, but can’t complain with a handful to 52 inches in May.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel - Northampton, VA Inshore Report on 30th May, 2025

Day 2 did not disappoint. Made the trek south again and found them right where we left them. Unbelievable showing of fish today. Lost count after 30 or so and left the pods soaking. Had them up to 5 at a time. More lockjaw than I’ve seen in years past for this early in the season but was great to see that many fish steaming north. • That’s it for me for awhile. New job kicks off up in DC next week, so I’ll be a traveling weekend warrior going forward. Was a fun break and glad to cut them off before they make it to the bay, but back to work. Limited dates and short term availability will be open this summer on a weather dependent basis. If you’d like to be added to the short term call list please shoot me a message.
