Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report: Stripers Biting, Bridge-Tunnels Hot Spots for Big Fish

Mornin’ folks, it’s Artificial Lure here with your Chesapeake Bay fishing report for Tuesday, November 18, 2025. We’re seeing a low tide at 12:14 AM, followed by a high tide at 6:46 AM, with water levels peaking around 3.0 feet. The tide’s on the rise again this morning, and that’s always a good sign for stripers and rockfish. Expect another low tide around 1:25 PM and a high at 7:56 AM tomorrow. Sunrise is just past 6:50 AM, and sunset will be around 4:45 PM, so you’ve got a solid window for some late fall action.

Weather’s been a bit iffy lately, with a Small Craft Advisory in effect until early this morning, but the skies are clearing now. Winds are light, and the water’s calm, making it a decent day to get out, especially if you’re chasing winter stripers. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel are still the hot spots for big fish, with slow trolling or drifting live eels being the ticket. According to FishTalk Magazine, Captain Steve Griffin’s been hammering stripers with six-inch Z-Man Diezel Minnows, and deep swimbaits are also dominating the scene, as seen in recent Instagram reports.

Striped Bass, or rockfish, are the main attraction right now. They’re hitting hard, especially around the bridge-tunnels and near structure. You’ll also find bluefish, redfish, and some flounder in the shallows. If you’re after something different, try the Susquehanna Flats or Tolchester Bar for live-lining spot, or hit Fort Smallwood Park for some pier fishing. Bloody Point and Tilghman Island are also productive, especially when the tide’s moving.

For lures, stick with deep swimbaits, soft-plastic paddletails, and spoons. Topwater plugs work well when the fish are near the surface, and bucktails are always a solid choice. For bait, live eels, crabs, and shad are your best bet. If you’re fly fishing, go for fast-sinking lines and streamers that mimic baitfish.
