# Artificial Lure's Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report
Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for the Chesapeake Bay region.
**Conditions and Tides**
We're looking at some cleanup from yesterday's gale warning. The National Weather Service reports winds are dropping to around 5 to 15 knots this afternoon with waves settling to 1 to 2 feet—much more manageable than what we dealt with Sunday. For Baltimore-area anglers, we've got a high tide coming at 12:24 AM and a low around 6:50 AM. Get out there while conditions are calming down.
**What's Biting**
According to the Lower Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report, the cold water's concentrating big striped bass in migrating groups, and when the wind lays down—which it's doing today—the bite has been absolutely amazing. Fish are pushing north as they migrate through.
**Tackle and Bait**
Here's what's working: throw big profile soft-plastic eel-style baits in the 8 to 11-inch range to match the forage these stripers are chasing. Spinnerbaits with big blades to imitate gizzard shad are also producing. Think substantial presentations right now—these fish want something they can really commit to.
**Hot Spots**
Focus on the deeper channels around the Baltimore inner harbor and work the Tidal Potomac where those migrating stripers are staging. The Chester River area's also been productive this time of year.
