Bring on the Fall
Fishing Forecasts
October is right around the corner. If the Chesapeake Bay offers her typical Fall bounty, we should see the top water fishing get even better in the Mid Bay area. We’ll start to see plenty of 25 inch Rockfish breaking throughout the area over the next couple weeks. .
The Spanish Mackerel will start to make their way south once the water temperature dips into the 60s and many of the Bluefish will follow the Anchovies out in October, but we’ll be left with plenty of larger Bluefish and some of the best Rockfish action of the year.
Top water action will also heat up in the shallows, particularly in the low light periods - early mornings and later evenings. Some effective top water plugs include
Stillwater Smack-its or Atom Poppers.
Another option in October is to break out the trolling gear. We should start to good action on bucktails, tandem parachutes and Tsunamis as the water temperature starts to drop. We've got plenty of tandem rigs and Tsuanmis in stock.
Summer fishing can be a blast. but nothing beats a crisp Fall morning on the Bay.
Check back over the next couple weeks as we put together a few Fall fishing rigs and videos.
Rig Right .... Fish Hard
