Rock Hall MD Fishing Report 5-8-25

 Fishing Report for May 8, 2025

Location: Rock Hall, Maryland

Weather Conditions:

  • Air Temperature: 77°F
  • Wind: Light breeze from the SSW
  • Water Temperature:
    • Swan Creek: 75°F
    • Chesapeake Bay (off Rock Hall): 70°F

Fishing Experience: Today was a quiet day on the water with no boats in sight. I ventured out mid-afternoon, which is typically a slow time for fishing. Despite my efforts, the results were as expected—minimal activity.

I tried my luck with a spinner bait off Swan Point, a spot where I usually catch something, whether it's a catfish or a white perch. Unfortunately, today was different, and I didn't manage to reel in anything.

Upcoming Season: We are about a week away from the start of Rock Fish season on the Chesapeake Bay, which begins on May 16th. Hopefully, the fishing conditions will improve, and the activity will pick up as the season starts.
