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=wwXIfrFB - Nate Myers https://www.facebook.com/share/18xB7hU3q8/?mibextid=wwXIfrIG - Catch22 - Catch'n Memories https://www.instagram.com/catch22_catchnmemories?igsh=ZGozczV4em1lbjE1IG - Nate_Catch22 https://www.instagram.com/nate_catch_22?igsh=cXczdzl0c2NudXd5&utm_source=qrTikTok - natecatch22https://www.tiktok.com/@natecatch22?_r=1&_t=ZP-97eiHdGbnwM Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf 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) 566-1278Email: lin@fishingprotech.usFishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168   Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5NFitt Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt#ChesapeakeBayFishing #CobiaFishing #VirginiaFishing #VirginiaBeachFishing #FishingReport #SightFishing #SaltwaterFishing #CBBTFishing #MidAtlanticFishing #FishingTheDMVSupport the show

The legendary Rick Clunn has always seen fishing differently than everyone else, and this conversation is no exception.It starts with the shocking quote, “Urchin baits turn me on” to a fascinating discussion about why the latest bait craze has captured anglers' attention, Rick shares his unique perspective on what makes a lure truly special—and why history has a way of repeating itself.We dive into the current Urchin bait phenomenon, compare it to some of the biggest lure crazes of the past, and explore how innovation continues to shape the sport. Along the way, Rick reflects on life after professional tournament fishing, how he's adjusted to stepping away from competition, and what still fuels his passion for bass fishing every single day.As always, Clunn-clusion is a conversation that goes far beyond fishing techniques. It's about curiosity, perspective, and seeing the sport through the eyes of one of the greatest anglers of all time.

Send us Fan MailJoin us in this episode as we sit down with special guest The Informative Fisherman to reveal the most unique baits to fish in the summertime! When the water heats up and the bass get heavily pressured, throwing the same old standard lures just won't cut it. We break down out-of-the-box summer fishing lures, secret bait presentations, and the best techniques to trigger massive strikes during the dog days of summer. If you want to catch more fish in the heat and learn some unconventional tricks, this breakdown is a must-watch.

Summer is prime time for river smallmouth, and once the water warms up, these fish become some of the most aggressive and predictable bass you can target. In this episode, we break down how rising water temperatures change smallmouth behavior, why crayfish are the key food source to imitate around rock and gravel, and why the shoreline often holds more active fish than the middle of the river. We cover how to read current breaks, shade lines, and first drop-offs, how to cover water efficiently until a pattern shows itself, and the gear setup that gives you the sensitivity and control to handle hard-fighting river fish. If you want to turn every bend and rock line into a productive stop, this episode has the blueprint.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

Boosting Your Baits for an Edge Over Other AnglersFishing is all about small edges, and one of the most overlooked aspects is bait preparation. Over the years, I've refined my approach to bait enhancement, ensuring my boilies are primed and ready before each session. I don't believe in drowning baits in excessive amounts of flavour or liquid, as that can sometimes have the opposite effect. Instead, I take a measured and consistent approach, allowing my baits to absorb attractants gradually over time.I like to keep my bait supply constantly rolling, so I always have well-prepared boilies on hand. My process is simple but effective. I start with several 3kg tubs of my chosen boilie and a larger 10kg bucket. Into each 3kg tub, I add 10ml of Classic Corn or Catalyst food dip, depending on what I'm favouring at the time, along with a tablespoon of Berrocel. Once these additions are made, I give the tubs a good shake every day for a week. This ensures an even distribution and helps the liquid penetrate deeply into the bait. After a week, I transfer everything into the larger 10kg bucket, where it will sit until needed.When I'm preparing for a session, I take a portion of these enhanced boilies and place them into two small RidgeMonkey buckets, ready for my next trip. As soon as I return from a session, I repeat the process to maintain my bait supply. This rolling preparation ensures I always have top-quality, fully-boosted bait on hand.

Are you being set up? In this week of our series, "Encounters with Jesus," we dive into Matthew 4 to look at the infamous showdown between Jesus and the devil in the wilderness. Often, we think temptation is just about breaking rules—but it's actually a calculated attack on our identity. When you are hungry, tired, and isolated, you become a sitting duck for the enemy. Through the three specific traps laid for Jesus, we discover the exact blueprint the enemy uses against us today: the temptation to be satisfied, the temptation to be awesome, and the temptation to be powerful.If the enemy wanted to catch you, what bait would he use? Watch to learn how to identify the triggers, illusions, and rationalizations of temptation, and how to stand firm on the truth of God's Word.

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode, Luis Delgado is joined by Eric Goodson on Kayak Fishing Weekly to talk about the best river bass fishing baits for June. In this episode we break down the top 3 confidence baits for catching largemouth bass, spotted bass, and smallmouth bass in rivers during the month of June.These are the exact lures we are using to target bass around current seams, shoals, laydowns, rock, and other high-percentage river structure. Whether you're fishing from a kayak, bass boat, or the bank, these June bass fishing techniques will help you put more fish in the boat.If you fish rivers during the summer and want to know what baits are producing right now, this video will save you time and help you develop a pattern faster.

June is one of the most exciting months to be on the water — but only if you know where to look. Bass are scattered across multiple depths and cover types all at the same time, and the anglers who stay flexible are the ones who load the boat. In this episode, we break down exactly where June bass are hiding, from shaded shallow cover like docks, laydowns, and grass lines to deeper structure like points, humps, ledges, and channel swings. We cover the best soft plastic baits and presentations for both worlds, when to slow down and pitch to tight cover, and when to move and cover water to find the pattern faster. Whether fish are still recovering from the spawn in the shallows or already pushing to their summer haunts, we've got the adjustments you need to stay on them all day long.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with YouTube standout Blake Miller from  ⁨@BDBassin⁩   to dive into his strategy for stepping outside the traditional tackle box, explaining how experimenting with unique, unconventional baits and color patterns can trigger strikes from highly pressured bass that ignore standard presentations. We also pull back the curtain on the business of fishing, discussing the grind of the content creator lifestyle, what it really takes to grow an audience, and actionable strategies to succeed and stand out in the crowded 2026 fishing media landscape.

I had a chance to sit down with Evan from Zero Trace Baits here at the Professional Outdoor Media Association Summit in Minnesota.

The spring-to-summer transition is one of the most exciting — and most confusing — times to be on the water. Bass are constantly shifting between pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn phases, and if you don't know what to look for, you'll spend more time searching than catching. In this episode, we break down exactly how to locate and target bass at every stage, from staging areas and spawning flats to post-spawn drop-offs and rocky structure. We cover how to read key transitional features like points, channels, and depth breaks, when to burn a reaction bait and when to slow down with finesse, and how grassy versus rocky lakes fish completely differently this time of year. Whether fish are shallow, suspended, or already pushing deeper, we'll show you how to stay one step ahead all day long.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

This week on the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report, Captain Tanner Deas fills in and checks in offshore with Captain Chris Vecsey for a trip that turned into a serious meat haul. What started as a tuna plan shifted to targeting a strong temp break near the Spur, where they boxed three solid wahoo on deep-diving plugs. After the troll slowed down, they pivoted again and quickly hooked up on swordfish in 1,500-plus feet, landing a 100-pound-class fish and proving the value of reading electronics and staying flexible. Inshore, Captain Richard Rutland breaks down a strange, dry winter that has left fish scattered and inconsistent across Mobile Bay and the rivers. Trout have been keyed in on smaller-profile baits like the Slick Junior, with subtle retrieves and lighter jig heads outperforming bigger, flashier presentations. They also talk about how slick-calm days can make shallow fish spooky, why a little wind can help, and how the bull redfish bite on the south end of the bay has been heating up. From pelagic pivots offshore to fine-tuning winter trout patterns inshore, this episode is all about adjusting on the fly. If you're fishing this warm trend and trying to stay ahead of changing conditions, there's plenty here to sharpen your approach.
