# Sunday Morning Chesapeake Report with Artificial Lure

Well folks, it's Sunday morning here on the Bay, and I've got your fishing report for today. Water conditions are looking good as we head into the winter months.

Tides are working in our favor today. We're seeing high tides at 1:47 AM and another coming around 2 PM, with lows sandwiched in between. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel area is showing similar patterns, and if you're heading out to Little Creek, expect solid tidal movement all day long. Sunrise was around 7:24 AM and we'll see sunset at 6:11 PM, so you've got a full day of fishing ahead.

Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-40s. Winds are light to moderate out of the northeast at 5 to 10 knots with gusts to 15 knots. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon, so keep an eye on conditions if you're planning an extended trip.

Now for the action—and this is where it gets exciting. The upper Chesapeake continues to be on fire for big blue catfish, especially around the Conowingo Dam. Anglers are hammering them with fresh cut gizzard shad and eel. Down in the lower Potomac, striped bass are stacked along those deep edges—Line Bar, Sheepshead Bar, and near St. Georges Island. Large soft plastic jigs and paddletails are producing nicely along the channel.

For those targeting smallmouth bass and walleye, the Elk River and Northeast River still have good structure. The grasses have mostly broken down, so focus your efforts near fallen wood and deeper structure. Soft plastics and small crankbaits are your ticket.

If you want some hot spots, head to the lower Potomac around Piney Point for striped bass, or hit the Conowingo Dam pool for those trophy blues. Both are producing consistently right now.
