Coastal Mid-Atlantic Fishing Report, March 15, 2019 Update:
Word from up and down the coast remains much the same with regards to oceanic angling: tautog are the main target, and they’re being finicky. One trip to the next can be banner and then a bust. Wind has also been a constant issue, with more heavy winds predicted through most of the weekend, for most of the region. That said, if you have the chance to get out green crab and white crab continue to be the most effective baits, fished on… Read more from Coastal...
Mid-Atlantic Region Freshwater Fishing Report, March 15, 2019 Update:
From north to south, in many areas freshwater fish are beginning to wake up and shake off the cobwebs but high and muddy conditions do persist in some others. Panfish in the ponds and lakes in northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania are feeding, and contributor Jim Gronaw has been pulling on a mix of stocked trout, fat bluegills, and crappie. We had reports of a similar mix plus a bass here and there from central… Read more from Freshwater...

Way North and DE Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report, March 15, 2019 Update:
PERCH ALERT: With the water warming up a bit (though still ranging mostly in the low- to mid-40s this week), the Susquehanna not so muddy you can walk on it (though still running on the high side and not exactly crystal clear), and warmer weather coming, everyone has one thing on their mind: yellow perch! Reports have been best from Perryville and the North East River, with the catch still mostly small males but the… Read more from Way North and DE...

Upper Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report, March 15, 2019 Update:
PERCH ALERT: It’s time for perch-jerking, people! The best reports thus far have come from the Chester above Crumpton, and the Magothy. In both rivers the fish had yet to enter the spawning areas but were instead still holding just down-stream this week, waiting for a few more degrees increase in the water temperatures. Anglers have begin casting from the shore in spots like Beechwood, with some (but not great) success. Reports from… Read more from Upper Bay...

3/16/2019 Perch Run Update: Get out there and get ‘em quick, people!! Tuesday the yellow perch still had roe but today they were spawned out, and whites were visible spawning along the shoreline of the Tuckahoe from the railroad bridge up. It looks like the weather may have created conditions conducive to a rapid spawning run, so get out there fast!

Way South and VA Chesapeake Bay Fishing Report, March 15, 2019 Update:
SPRING RUNS HAVE BEGUN! Whew – after a weather delay, it looks like things are getting back to normal for this time of year in the Western Shore tribs. Perch have begun popping up and the first of the shad reports trickled in this week (both Americans and hickory). The Rap below just Port Royal and the Mattaponi both get a mention, with water temperatures in the mid-40s and some clarity finally returning to the water. There… Read more from Way South and VA...
