Gentlemen, I’m new the this board and new to the Chesapeake. I was stationed on the NY Canadian border for the last 8 years and fishing northern lakes. Me and my son 11 fishing the upper Chesapeake for the first time today. Put in at Turners at the sassafras. This was my first experience with Tidal water. I’ve been reading everything on this board and other info on the Chesapeake but we were definitely overwhelmed today. We must of boated 8 catfish today on spinnerbaits and drop shot. Not one bass. I’m not a tournament guy and would never ask about fishing spots. But can someone explain the tides? When do I want to fish? Shallow deeper on certain tide? Did I waste my time going all the way back into Turners and Lloyd’s? And info would be much Appreciative. Since I don’t fish tournaments and can only get 2x a month I’d get like to have a better understanding what the hell I’m doing. Definitely not as easy as northern lakes. Thx
