Delaware River Fall Fishing Report
Delaware River in the Fall As the fall progresses, look for the bass on the river to begin to migrate toward their wintering areas. As the amount of light each day continues to diminish, this triggers the baitfish and bass to begin to move. Look for the bass to use hard cover like rock and wood, both man-made and natural. The bass like to stop on this type of cover that is positioned on the main river adjacent to the wintering areas picking off easy meals as the bait fish search for deeper areas that are protected from the main river current. Its crankbait time! I love to fish tidal rivers in the fall. The crank bait bite comes alive and the bass are
Pete’s Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report

The Upper Chesapeake Bay has been putting out some exceptional catches in April. Bass are in the pre spawn pattern and just starting to begin moving into the spawn. The key has been to fish the flats that have some grass starting to grow on
Do Spawning Carp Drive Bass from Grass?
Fishing on the Upper Chesapeake Bay has been tremendous this spring. Many tournaments have produced multiple bags of fish over 20lbs and one tournament even produced (what is probably a record) a 10.42 lb largemouth bass! Once the summer bite gets underway, the water has experienced some warm periods that can drive water temperatures into the 80s. At this time you can look forward to fishing grass beds with chatterbaits, crankbaits, spinnerbaits or flipping baits. If these techniques are working you can get ready for the topwater frog bite to start because that is next! There is one other event that starts at this time, which is the groups of carp that begin to spawn in the grassy areas. These carp cause quite a commotion
