Water temperatures on the lower Bay continue to struggle to stay in the mid-50's, but this has been a boon for the spring tautog bite, as these fish are most active in cool water. Many of the best hauls (14-inch minimum size limit and 7 fish possession limit) are coming from the CBBT complex but the biggest fish are caught on inshore ocean wrecks. Black sea bass are just arriving on some of the inshore wrecks and reefs, such as the Triangle Wrecks and Tower Reef area.

Croaker invaded the Bay over a month ago but are just starting to respond to hook and line baits on a consistent basis. The best hauls of the largest fish are made up in the river systems, often in water less than 15 feet deep.

The season's first catches of black drum were recorded off Cape Charles last week.
