    Chesapeake Bay Cobia Fishing: Best Baits, Tackle & Summer Patterns with Capt. Nate Myers

    On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV I have o Captain Nate Myers of Catch N Memories for a deep dive into Chesapeake Bay cobia fishing and the unique sight-fishing culture that has developed across the Lower Bay and Virginia Beach region. With more than 15 years of experience chasing cobia from the Outer Banks to the Chesapeake Bay, Nate breaks down what anglers need to know about locating, presenting baits to and landing one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most unpredictable gamefish. This Chesapeake Bay fishing report covers a season that started with a strong spring migration but transitioned into a more challenging summer sight bite. At the time of the conversation, Lower Chesapeake Bay water temperatures were running in the upper 70s, while some cobia had already been caught in water close to 60 degrees earlier in the migration. Nate explains why more fish may be holding deeper in the water column, why chumming can remain productive when cobia refuse to surface and how increasing boat traffic, shifting menhaden concentrations, warmer water and offshore structure could be changing traditional migration patterns. We also break down the two primary approaches to Virginia cobia fishing: sight-casting from a tower boat and chumming along cuts, sloughs and depth changes. Nate explains how to locate cobia around stingrays, sea turtles, sharks, buoys, wrecks and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, along with the importance of polarized glasses, boat positioning and placing a bait several feet ahead of a moving fish. The tackle discussion includes longer casting rods, Penn Slammer spinning reels, 40-pound braid, 50-pound leaders, circle hooks, live eels, finfish, cobia jigs and soft-plastic swimbaits. July can bring tougher fishing while cobia are focused on spawning, but Nate expects the action to improve as fish begin grouping and feeding more aggressively during August and September. He also shares the story of a rare 47.5-inch piebald cobia that was tagged and released, the challenge of netting big fish under Virginia’s no-gaff regulations and how the offshore Virginia wind turbines are developing into habitat for cobia, flounder, sea bass, triggerfish, mahi and other species. website should be up soon and will setup to book trios and order rods: www.catchnmemories.com  FB - Catch22 - Catch’n Memories  https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ej1bV9ouv/?mibextid=wwXIfr FB - Nate Myers  https://www.facebook.com/share/18xB7hU3q8/?mibextid=wwXIfr IG - Catch22 - Catch’n Memories  https://www.instagram.com/catch22_catchnmemories?igsh=ZGozczV4em1lbjE1 IG - Nate_Catch22  https://www.instagram.com/nate_catch_22?igsh=cXczdzl0c2NudXd5&utm_source=qr TikTok - natecatch22 https://www.tiktok.com/@natecatch22?_r=1&_t=ZP-97eiHdGbnwM  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   LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.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     Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs  Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Fitt Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt #ChesapeakeBayFishing #CobiaFishing #VirginiaFishing #VirginiaBeachFishing #FishingReport #SightFishing #SaltwaterFishing #CBBTFishing #MidAtlanticFishing #FishingTheDMV Support the show

    Maryland’s Secret Bass Fishing Hotspot Nobody Talks About | Conowingo Reservoir

    On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Mickey to break down his back-to-back tournament victory on Conowingo Reservoir. Mickey explains how he prepared for an unusually early spring tournament, tracked smallmouth bass as they moved from their wintering areas toward spawning grounds, and adjusted when cold rain, powerful winds, rising water and changing current made tournament day a grind. After going nearly an hour without a bite, Mickey stayed patient and eventually put together a winning limit that included an 18.25-inch smallmouth and a 19-inch kicker. We discuss the exact areas he targeted, how he found fish positioned around protected pockets, deeper cuts and current transitions, and why a red-craw flat-sided crankbait produced most of his fish. Mickey also explains how a fire-craw chatterbait helped him make a late upgrade when the crankbait bite disappeared. The conversation also covers the challenges and dangers of kayak fishing Conowingo Reservoir, tournament photo-submission mistakes, adjusting between a grinder and a slugfest, fishing around changing tides and current, and the advantages of using an inflatable fishing kayak in shallow, rocky rivers. Whether you’re preparing to fish Conowingo Reservoir, chasing pre-spawn Susquehanna River smallmouth or trying to become a better kayak tournament angler, this episode is packed with valuable information you can apply on the water.  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   LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.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     Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs  Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Fitt Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt Support the show

    Smith Mountain Lake July Fishing Report: Low Water Bass Fishing, Grass Carp & Big Bait Trends

    Smith Mountain Lake July Fishing Report: Low Water Bass Fishing, Grass Carp & Big Bait Trends On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Billy Kohls of Smith Mountain Lake Guide Service for a full Smith Mountain Lake July fishing report and deep dive into summer bass fishing on Smith Mountain Lake. If you’re looking for the latest on Smith Mountain Lake bass fishing, Virginia bass fishing, low water bass fishing, and how to catch largemouth bass and smallmouth bass during tough summer conditions, this episode is packed with information. Billy breaks down the current Smith Mountain Lake water level, why the lake is still very fishable, which areas are most affected by the low water, and how anglers should safely approach boat ramps, main-lake channels, pockets, docks, and offshore structure. We also discuss how the low water, cooler spring, and fluctuating conditions have impacted the bass spawn, bluegill spawn, shad spawn, fry guarders, and overall summer bass patterns. From there, we get into the actual fishing. Billy explains how bass are setting up around docks, points, brush piles, bluegill beds, offshore structure, deep water, and schooling areas. We talk about key July bass fishing techniques like drop shot fishing, topwater fishing, big worm fishing, deep crankbait fishing, dock fishing, brush pile fishing, and offshore bass fishing. Whether you’re fishing a tournament, planning a summer trip to Smith Mountain Lake, or just trying to understand how bass adjust during low-water conditions, this report gives you a solid game plan. We also cover the ongoing Smith Mountain Lake grass carp and aquatic vegetation debate, including the latest update on the reduced grass carp stocking number and why angler involvement may have helped protect important bass habitat. Billy shares why aquatic grass matters, how grass impacts bass fishing, and what anglers should be watching for moving forward. Toward the end of the episode, we dive into one of the hottest trends in bass fishing right now: hairy ball baits, dice baits, urchin-style baits, JDM bass baits, and forward-facing sonar bass fishing. Billy explains why these weird-looking baits are catching big bass, how they can be used around docks, brush piles, suspended fish, bluegill patterns, and open water, and why they are not just a forward-facing sonar bait. If you fish Smith Mountain Lake, follow Virginia bass fishing, love summer bass fishing reports, or want to stay ahead of new bass fishing trends like dice baits, urchin baits, and offshore sonar fishing, this is an episode you do not want to miss.  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  Check out Billy Kohls website at:  Smith Mountain Lake Fishing Guide  https://www.smithmountainlakefishing.com/about      Check Billy out on Instagram down below:    https://www.instagram.com/billy_kohlsfishing/ Check out Billy Kohls YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@billykohlsfishing3697   LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.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     Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs  Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N   Support the show

    Lake Chesdin Is Virginia’s Secret Big Bass Factory | 24 LB Bag Breakdown w/ Nick Passalacqua

    On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with Virginia angler Nick Passalacqua to break down one of Central Virginia’s most underrated bass fishing regions — the James River, Appomattox River, Chickahominy River, and Lake Chesdin. Nick grew up minutes from the James and Appomattox, and in this conversation he gives us a true local’s perspective on how these fisheries set up, why the Appomattox fishes differently from the James, where tidal influence matters, and why Lake Chesdin may be one of the most overlooked big-bass lakes in Virginia. We also dive into Nick’s recent 24-pound tournament bag on Lake Chesdin, how he targets both shallow grass fish and offshore fish, why the hotter the weather gets the better the bite can be, and what makes Chesdin such a sneaky big-fish factory. Nick also breaks down his Quaky-style bait setup, treble-hook rigging, grass fishing approach, crankbait/Carolina rig bite, and how gizzard shad and bluegill influence the fishery. Later in the episode, we talk about the current state of the James and Chickahominy, how the hard winter may have impacted grass, why some areas are fishing tougher than normal, and the growing forward-facing sonar debate in local Virginia tournament trails. Topics covered include: • Lake Chesdin bass fishing breakdown  • Nick’s 24-pound tournament bag  • James River vs. Appomattox River vs. Chickahominy River  • How tide affects the Appomattox River  • Grass fishing and offshore fishing on Chesdin  • Quaky bait setup, hooks, rod, reel, and line  • Why Chesdin produces giant bags  • The state of the James River and Chickahominy in 2026  • Forward-facing sonar bans in Virginia tournament trails  • Local Tuesday and Thursday night tournament series  • Nick’s future tournament goals, BFL plans, and fishing journey 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  Nick Passalacqua on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nick.passalacqua.98  Nick Passalacqua Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nick.passalacqua?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/ Jake’s bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/   Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.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     Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs  Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Support the show

    Keith Poche’s Potomac River Winning Secrets: Shallow Water, Tidal Bass & Tiny Boat Tactics

    On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we sit down with professional bass angler Keith Poche to break down his Potomac River Toyota Series win and the shallow-water strategy that helped him beat the field. Keith explains how he used his custom Gator Trax aluminum boat to access hard-to-reach tidal creeks, beaver dams, grass flats, pad fields, and backwater areas most bass boats cannot reach. We talk through his tournament decisions, including his day-one Neabsco Creek pattern, surprise big bites near a sewer outflow, his day-two run toward Washington, D.C., and the final-day creek that helped him close out the win. This episode is packed with Potomac River bass fishing strategy, tidal bass fishing tips, frog fishing, shallow-water tournament tactics, fish management, high-tide feeding windows, and Keith’s approach to staying confident in his own style instead of following the crowd. Keith also compares the Potomac River to the James River, talks Gator Trax boats, and explains why simple baits like a frog, shaky head, Pit Boss, and Berkley General still catch big bass in 2026.

    Ocean City & Eastern Shore Fishing Breakdown: Summer Fishing Report with Always Bent Fishing

    On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we are joined by Taylor from Always Bent Fishing for a full Ocean City, Maryland summer fishing report! The spring run in Ocean City was one of the best in recent memory, with big striped bass showing up heavy in the surf, around the Route 50 Bridge, in the bay, and along the beach for anglers soaking bait. Now that water temperatures are climbing, the bite has officially shifted into summer mode, and Taylor breaks down everything anglers need to know before heading to the coast. We talk about the current flounder bite in the bay, around the inlet, near the Route 50 Bridge, and on nearshore wrecks, plus the arrival of bluefish, red drum, sheepshead, cobia, and other summer species. Taylor also explains why water temperature is one of the biggest factors he watches when predicting the transition from the spring striped bass run into the summer bite. In this episode, we also cover the best places for visiting anglers to fish from shore, including the Ocean City Inlet, North Jetty, Oceanic Fishing Pier, Third Street Pier, and Route 50 Bridge. Taylor gives practical tips on baits, tackle, tides, structure, and how freshwater anglers can get started fishing saltwater without feeling overwhelmed. We also dive into the tougher-than-usual back bay fishing, the better action closer to the inlet, the speckled trout situation on the Chesapeake side, the early arrival of sheepshead and cobia, and the funky start to the offshore tuna and marlin season. Taylor shares his thoughts on how Gulf Stream movement, water temperature, and changing patterns may be affecting Ocean City’s inshore and offshore fishing. Plus, we preview the Fish and Paddle Saltwater Slam kayak tournament, the growing Ocean City kayak fishing scene, and the buildup to the White Marlin Open, one of the biggest offshore fishing events in the world and one of the busiest weeks of the year in Ocean City. Whether you fish from the surf, bridge, pier, kayak, bay boat, or offshore boat, this episode is packed with Ocean City fishing information to help you catch more fish this summer.
