Description
# Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report - March 8, 2026
Hey folks, this is your Sunday morning fishing report for the Chesapeake Bay region. Spring is arriving and water temperatures are warming, which means fish are beginning to move throughout the bay.
**Tidal Conditions:** We're looking at moderate tidal swings today. High tide hits around 8 AM and again this evening, with low tides mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If you're heading out, use those tidal transitions—fish feed best when water's moving.
**Weather & Light:** Sunrise was around 6:55 AM, and we've got until about 7 PM before dark. Temperatures are mild, which should bring more anglers out to the water.
**What's Biting:** The Lower Chesapeake is showing good promise right now. Spring conditions have fish responding well. For striped bass, young-of-the-year populations have been variable the past few years, so focus on mature fish. Osprey and other predators have been active, indicating decent baitfish presence throughout the bay.
**Best Baits & Lures:** Live baitfish is your go-to, particularly anything resembling shad or herring. If you're throwing artificials, chatterbait-style lures work well in these spring conditions—slow-roll them through darker water columns where baitfish congregate.
**Hot Spots:** Sandy Point offers solid access with manageable tides. The Patapsco River area near Baltimore Harbor always produces, especially as water warms.
