Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reports

Reliable Chesapeake Bay fishing reports are not easy to come by, so at FishTalk Magazine, we compile a fishing report on a weekly basis and publish them every Friday by noon. These reports cover the Bay and the Mid-Atlantic coast and ocean, as well as freshwater. We do require anglers to create an account with FishTalk before viewing the reports, so that these pages are only available to FishTalk readers and don't get found by incidentally searching the internet. The areas we cover include:

We contact multiple tackle shops and guides as well as individual anglers each and every week, so we can publish the latest news by noon on Friday. If you have any information you'd like to add to the report feel free to email us at [email protected]. Please note, however, that we take great pains to ensure we're reporting only true fishing information. Tips received from unknown users will always be termed as "unverified" in the reports unless we have an established relationship with the person or business providing the report.
