Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report Nov 3: Specks, Puppies, Togs, and More Biting Strong!

# Artificial Lure's Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report Well folks, it's Monday morning, November 3rd, and I'm here to tell you the bite is absolutely screaming in and around the Bay right now. Water temps have dropped to a crisp 58 degrees inside Rudee Inlet, and the fish are feeding like there's no tomorrow. Let me break down what's happening out there. The speckled trout bite is outstanding this month—some of the best action we've seen. You want hot spots? Head straight to Lynnhaven Inlet, Rudee Inlet, or the Fort Monroe stretch of the James River. Puppy drum are hitting in those exact same areas, and they're chunky right now. Captain Todd was just out fly-fishing Saturday and landed some impressive puppy drum and plenty of fat specks on the Knot Wish'n. For tide info, we've got a low at 11:56 PM tonight and highs at 5:35 AM and 5:56 PM. Sunrise today is 6:29 AM, sunset at 5:05 PM. Conditions are looking decent with southeast winds 5 to 10 knots becoming east 10 to 15 knots later, so get out early. Inside the bay, don't sleep on the tautog—that bite's heating up. Rockfish are showing up in rivers and creeks, especially at night around lighted docks and piers. Red drum are definitely in play, and if you're heading deeper, sea bass and triggerfish are holding on the reefs. For bait and lures, live bait with light tackle is your best friend right now. Puppy drum and specks love live herring and mullet. Topwater plugs are working great for surface action, and fly fishermen should bring a 7-weight for Bay work. Elizabeth River is another spot worth hitting if you can't make it to the inlets. Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates straight from the water.
