Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report June 14th: Sheepshead, Tautog, and Early Cobia Season

Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishing in and around Chesapeake Bay. Today, June 14th, the weather is looking pretty sweet for us anglers. We're expecting some moderate conditions with a bit of warmth, perfect for getting out on the water. First off, let's talk tides. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is seeing a low tide at about 4:58 AM, with the next high coming in at around 11:47 AM. The tidal coefficient is average today, which means we can expect some decent currents and movement on the sea bed. Sunrise is at 5:44 AM, and we can look forward to a long day with sunset at 8:25 PM. Now, on to the fish Sheepshead are really starting to heat up, especially around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel pilings. These guys are biting well on frozen or live fiddler crabs. Tautog are also in the mix, and if you're looking for something a bit bigger, black drum and red drum are moving into their usual spots. Bull red drum are starting to transition to deeper structures, so keep an eye out around the islands of the CBBT. If you're heading out to the oceanfront, cobia are starting to show up, and with their season opening on June 15th, now's a great time to prep for that. Live eels and artificial lures like bucktails will be your best bets for catching these guys. For those targeting sea bass, the offshore wrecks are still producing, though the bite can be spotty. Flounder fishing is hit or miss in the coastal bays, but there's been some success in the bays around Ocean City. Some hot spots to check out include the CBBT pilings for sheepshead and tautog, and the southern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay for early summer migratory species. Don't forget to explore the oceanfront for cobia once the season opens. Thanks for tuning in, folks Remember to subscribe for more fishing updates and tips.
