    Ocean City Maryland Fall Fishing Report: October Stripers, Flounder, Red Drum & Best Baits

    The Ocean City, Maryland fall fishing season is beginning, and the recent nor’easter may have helped kickstart the October striped bass bite. Taylor from Always Bent Fishing joins Fishing the DMV to break down the latest Ocean City fishing report, what happened to the summer bite, where stripers are beginning to show up, and what anglers should expect around Ocean City Inlet, Route 50 Bridge, Assateague, Chincoteague and the surrounding Eastern Shore waters. We cover the transition from summer into fall fishing, including striped bass, flounder, red drum, bluefish, tog, sheepshead, triggerfish and several other species that have been showing up around Ocean City. Taylor also explains some of his most reliable techniques for anglers fishing the area, including: • How the October striped bass migration develops around Ocean City  • Why the nor’easter could accelerate the fall bite  • Fishing Route 50 Bridge and Ocean City Inlet current  • Why ¾-ounce to 1½-ounce jig heads may be necessary in heavy current  • Paddle-tail techniques for striped bass and flounder  • Bucktail and Gulp combinations for Ocean City flounder  • Why old-school spec rigs can still catch stripers, bluefish and flounder  • Assateague surf fishing opportunities  • Red drum opportunities around Chincoteague and Tom’s Cove  • What happened with Ocean City’s offshore tuna and billfish season  • Fall and winter opportunities for stripers and tog We also discuss the incredible storm flooding around Ocean City, unusual shark activity, cobia and other warm-water species moving unusually far north, wreck fishing, surf fishing and what anglers should watch for as water temperatures continue to fall. If you're planning an October or fall fishing trip to Ocean City, Maryland, this conversation gives you a practical look at what is happening now and how to approach the changing seasonal bite.

    Buggs Island Fall Fishing Report: Low-Water Bass, Stripers & October Patterns with Threadfin Guide Service

    Buggs Island/Kerr Reservoir is roughly 11 feet low, but the fall bass and striper bite is still going strong. Zach from Threadfin Guide Service joins Fishing the DMV to break down where largemouth bass, spotted bass and striped bass are positioning during the extreme low-water conditions—and how anglers can adjust as the lake transitions into October and November. The severe drawdown has exposed rock veins, brush piles, points, boat ramps and other structure that anglers normally only see on electronics. Zach explains how he's using the low water to better understand these areas, why bass haven't necessarily abandoned their traditional locations, and where fish are staging when their normal shallow cover is completely out of the water. We also break down: • How low water is affecting Buggs Island/Kerr Reservoir fishing  • Where largemouth and spotted bass are staging during the fall transition  • Why finding rock with bait has been one of the biggest keys • How stripers, spotted bass and largemouth are feeding around the same bait concentrations • Why bass may continue feeding after a school of stripers moves away • The current Buggs Island topwater bite • How cold fronts and sudden water-temperature drops can change feeding times • Why a gradual fall cooldown can make fish easier to pattern • Where the fish may move as October progresses • Fishing rocky points, coves, boat ramps, bridges and other remaining structure • Topwater, flukes, spoons and Alabama rigs for fall bass • Why Zach keeps an Acme Little Cleo spoon ready throughout much of the year • How to cast and retrieve spoons for schooling bass and stripers • Why smaller baitfish presentations become more important later in the fall • What anglers can learn by physically seeing structure normally hidden underwater Despite the extreme conditions, Zach is still finding excellent fishing, including mornings with 40–50 fish and a bite heavily dominated by topwater. If you fish Buggs Island, Kerr Reservoir, Virginia or North Carolina—or you're trying to understand how bass react when a reservoir drops dramatically—this conversation has a ton of information you can apply on the water.

    James River & Chickahominy Bass Fishing: 24+ Pounds, LiveScope & urchin baits

    How do you catch 24+ pounds of bass in roughly 90 minutes on the James River and Chickahominy River? Chaz and Jared break down their Elite 70 tournament win, including the perfect tidal window, an 8-pound largemouth, forward-facing sonar, the Koike bait, offshore cover, and the decisions that turned one morning into a winning Virginia bass fishing performance. The guys explain why they committed to making the run to the upper Chickahominy, how incoming tide, low light, current, grass, brush piles and stumps positioned the fish, and how LiveScope helped expose bass they already knew were living offshore. The result was a rapid flurry of big fish—including 4- and 5-pounders, a topwater fish and the massive 8-pounder that changed the tournament. We also get deep into the current state of James River and Chickahominy River bass fishing. Chaz and Jared discuss fishing pressure, tournament traffic, changing grass, drought and salinity, F1 bass stocking, why weights aren't carrying as deep through tournament fields, and why the upper Chick continues to produce giant largemouth even when other areas struggle. Plus, we talk about one of the hottest baits in tournament bass fishing—the Koike—and why they believe it isn't just a forward-facing sonar bait. From fishing it around offshore cover to throwing it without LiveScope, the guys explain why this unusual bait continues catching pressured bass in tidal fisheries. Topics include:  • James River bass fishing  • Chickahominy River bass fishing  • Summer tidal bass fishing  • How tide positions largemouth bass  • Forward-facing sonar and LiveScope  • Koike bait fishing  • Offshore brush piles and stumps  • Grass lines and tidal current  • Tournament fishing pressure  • Virginia bass tournament strategy  • The changing James River fishery  • BFL, MLF and tournament bass fishing If you fish the James, Chickahominy, Potomac or any tidal bass fishery, there is a ton of information in this conversation about timing, pressure, offshore bass and knowing when to abandon your normal patterns.

    Bass Fishing Rods Explained: Power, Action, Guides & Custom Rod Building

    On this episode of Fishing the DMV, Thomas Arens sits down with Mark from Catoctin Creek Custom Rods, a longtime Northern Virginia rod builder and angler, to break down the science, craftsmanship, and real-world performance behind modern fishing rods. Mark has been building custom fishing rods since establishing Catoctin Creek Custom Rods in 2009, and in this conversation we dive deep into what bass anglers should actually look for when choosing a rod.

    September Chickahominy & James River Bass Fishing | Best Baits & Fall Transition

    September is here, and the fall transition is starting to take shape across Virginia’s tidal fisheries. On this episode of Fishing the DMV, Thomas Arens is joined by Hunter Smith of Fishing Pro Tech to break down the current state of bass fishing on the Chickahominy River and what anglers should expect as summer slowly gives way to fall. Hunter talks about the unusually tough Chickahominy bite, hot water temperatures, heavy fishing pressure, hydrilla growth, changing salinity levels, and how all of those factors may be affecting the bass fishing. We also break down some of the best September patterns, including: Frog fishing around hydrilla and lily padsDrop shots, Neko rigs, wacky rigs, and finesse wormsMinnow fishing and offshore structureThe late-evening topwater biteWhether the urchin bait craze is beginning to cool offHow the Chickahominy could change as October approachesHunter also shares his thoughts on why September can be one of the more challenging months to consistently find quality bass—and why fishing should improve as temperatures finally begin to cool. Later in the episode, we head inside Fishing Pro Tech for a tackle breakdown featuring new and trending bass fishing products from Deps, Megabass, Missile Baits, SPRO, Yamamoto, HideUp, Hags, and more. We also recap ICAST, talk JDM tackle, new lure trends, and some of the products anglers should be watching heading into fall.   Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast  If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com Green Top: https://www.greentop.com/ Jake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168 Flint Financial Planning: https://www.flintfinancialplanning.com/ FITT Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt  LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/  Max4 Fishing: https://max4fishing.com/ #fishing #bassfishing #fishingreport  Support the show

    September Lake Anna Bass Fishing Report | Best Baits & Fall Transition with SB Fishing and Matt McCluskey

    September is here, and Lake Anna is setting up for one of the most interesting fall transitions we’ve seen in a while. On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by two guys who spend a ton of time on Lake Anna — Matt McCluskey and SB Fishing — to break down exactly what the bass are doing right now and what anglers should expect as we move deeper into September. The biggest story right now is the amount of fish still grouped up offshore and following bait. Blueback herring are playing a major role, bass are roaming from point to point, and when you find the right school at the right time, the bite can happen FAST. Sunny conditions and light wind have also been especially productive, with some of the best action coming later in the day rather than during the traditional early-morning window. We also talk about Lake Anna’s hydrilla. The grass appears to be roughly a month behind where it was last year, but it continues to grow — including areas where hydrilla is getting within a foot of the surface in 7–8 feet of water. That could create some very interesting opportunities as the lake transitions into fall. 🎣 September Lake Anna baits discussed in this episode: • Carolina Rig  • Weightless Fluke  • ChatterBait  • Drop Shot  • Koiki-style baits  • Forward-facing sonar minnows  • Riser/topwater-style baits  • Spy Baits Matt has been especially impressed with the Carolina Rig, including its ability to pull quality fish from schools without firing up the entire group. As the transition develops, he also expects the ChatterBait to become a major player around the growing grass. SB is keeping the Fluke and Drop Shot close, while also mixing in the minnow and Koiki when fish start following traditional presentations without committing.  We get deep into how fast these fish are actually moving, why you sometimes only catch four or five bass from a school containing dozens of fish, how forward-facing sonar has changed our understanding of bass behavior, and why changing presentations can make such a difference on pressured fish. If you fish Lake Anna, Central Virginia, or any blueback-herring reservoir, there is a TON of information in this conversation that can help you put more fish in the boat this September.

    Northern Virginia Bass Fishing: The Grassroots Tournament Scene Is GROWING!

    The crew from Lew’s Golf and Fish Club returns to the show to talk about one of the most unique grassroots fishing and golf communities growing in Northern Virginia. What started as a group of friends who simply wanted more people to fish and golf with has grown into local tournaments, weekly leagues, new friendships, serious competition, and a genuine brotherhood built around getting outside. If you’ve ever wanted to fish a bass tournament but felt like you didn’t have the right boat, enough experience, or the latest electronics, this episode is for you. We break down how Lew’s Golf and Fish Club has created an approachable tournament format where first-time competitors can fish alongside some of the best anglers in the region—and actually have a chance to compete. In this episode we talk about: • Bass fishing tournaments in Northern Virginia  • Fishing the Occoquan Reservoir and Potomac River  • Aquia Creek bass fishing and tournament strategy  • Why they’re adding the Rappahannock River to the schedule  • Upper Potomac and Shenandoah River smallmouth fishing  • Fishing tournaments without Forward Facing Sonar / LiveScope  • Catch, photo, release tournament formats  • Why smaller tournament boundaries can make anglers better  • Fishing from kayaks, jon boats, aluminum boats and traditional bass boats  • How water level, current and water clarity affect river smallmouth  • Why giant smallmouth become incredibly difficult to catch during low, clear water  • The mental similarities between competitive golf and bass fishing  • Building a local fishing community instead of chasing social-media algorithms  • How beginners can get involved in tournament bass fishing  • Where Lews Golf and Fish Club could go in 2027 and beyond We also get into some classic fishing stories—including broken trolling motors, project boats, learning bass fishing from scratch, winning your first-ever bass tournament, fishing the Brunswick-to-Point of Rocks stretch of the Upper Potomac, brutal summer river conditions, and why sometimes equipment failure actually forces you to fish BETTER. One of the biggest conversations centers around the changing world of tournament bass fishing. Forward-facing sonar and LiveScope aren't going anywhere, but there is also a growing appetite for grassroots tournaments where anglers have to read water, make decisions, manage time, find productive areas and figure out the fish without watching them on a screen. That old-school style of tournament fishing is exactly what Lews Golf and Fish Club is trying to keep alive.
