The spawn is on! The Chesapeake Bay Flats are a dynamic fishery - with majority of fish migrating to the grass flats. Lures like a chatterbait, senko, and flipping creature baits can yield success. Fishing for retreads in the Northeast River can also pay dividends. Lures like a dropshot, 1/2 ounce jig, and spinnerbait around hard structure can result in quaility bites. The Bass University library is full of on the water classes filmed on the Upper Chesapeake Bay that will help you break down the fishery like a pro.
