| Chesapeake Bay Menhaden Crisis!!! what is Causing the Death of this Fishery?! | 18 août 2025 | 00:38:01 | |
On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I’m joined by Brian Collins, an Eastern Shore native and administrator of the Facebook group Menhaden – Little Fish, Big Deal!. Together, we tackle one of the Chesapeake Bay’s most pressing and controversial topics: the fight over menhaden. Often called “the most important fish in the sea,” menhaden are vital to the Bay’s ecosystem—filtering water and serving as a primary food source for striped bass, osprey, bluefish, and countless other species. But menhaden are also the target of one of the largest industrial fisheries on the East Coast, with millions harvested each year and processed into fish oil and animal feed. Brian and I dig into the clash between the billion dollar Omega Protein corporation, and conservation advocates who warn that removing too many menhaden is weakening the striped bass population and destabilizing the Bay’s food web. From quota battles and Bay-specific harvest caps to the rise of ecosystem-based management, we unpack the science, politics, and passion fueling this long-standing conflict. If you care about the future of striped bass, the health of the Chesapeake Bay, or just want to understand how one small fish can spark such a big fight—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

| Upper James River Fishing Report with Hunter Hatcher of the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources | 11 août 2025 | 01:29:58 | |
On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down the 2025 fish sampling survey results for Virginia’s Upper James River with Hunter Hatcher with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. The James River—Virginia’s largest—begins where the Cowpasture and Jackson Rivers meet in Botetourt County and winds through the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains before flowing past Lynchburg, Richmond, and into the Chesapeake Bay. Today, we’re focusing on the non-tidal Upper James, a stunning 90-mile stretch from its mountain headwaters to the 14th Street Bridge in Richmond—famous for its world-class smallmouth bass fishery. In this episode, we cover: · Smallmouth Bass Update – 2024 electrofishing surveys show increased catch rates and strong year classes from 2021 and 2023. Over 1,500 bass were sampled in fall 2024, with 60% at “catchable size” (7”+), and 20% topping 14 inches. · Spawning Trends – Above-average spawns in 3 of the last 4 years point to solid fishing opportunities in the coming seasons, but consistent spawning is key to reaching the abundance levels anglers remember. · Fishing Tips – Where to find less-pressured stretches of river for trophy smallmouth action.

| Is Forward Facing Sonar KILLING Bass Tournaments? | The Truth Revealed | 29 juil. 2025 | 01:45:57 | |
On this eye-opening episode of Fishing the DMV, we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial topics in the sport today—is Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) really to blame for the current issues in bass fishing tournaments? I explore the conversation from all angles by breaking down recent articles, analyzing YouTube commentary, and—most importantly—digging into five years of tournament and sales data to examine the rise of FFS and its true impact on state-level bass circuits. But that’s not all—we’re also connecting the dots on how technology and affordability are reshaping bass fishing access for younger anglers. Here’s a quick look at the numbers: Truck Price Comparison (Base Models – F150 XL): · 2018: ~$27,700 (Regular cab, 3.3L V6) · 2025: $39,645–$41,000 Ranger Bass Boat Price Comparison: · 2018 Ranger Z520 (fiberglass Comanche): ~$40,000–$50,000 · 2025 Ranger Z520R Cup-Equipped: $86,995 base ($87,870 w/ trailer & prep) Millennial & Gen Z Financial Pressure: · Homeownership rate (under 36): Dropped to 36.3% by end of 2024, the lowest since 2008. · Side hustle economy: Over 50% of Millennials & Gen Z report having at least one side hustle. Data Sources Referenced: Whether you're a purist who wants FFS banned or an angler who believes in embracing the future, this episode pulls no punches and puts the debate in full context—with facts, not just feelings.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down how Rick McFaul of Phoenix, Maryland battled brutal conditions to claim victory at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Potomac River, hosted by Charles County Recreation, Parks, and Tourism.

Locking down on a 50-yard grass stretch with his Power-Poles, McFaul ground out a solid bag before making one final, crucial stop in Mattawoman Creek, where he landed two kicker fish over 4 pounds to seal the deal.

| 351 | From Beekeeper to Bait Maker: The MX Plugs Story | 12 mai 2025 | 00:26:46 | |
On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with the owner of MX Plugs—a custom lure maker with an incredible backstory and a serious passion for innovation. It all started with a broken plug he found lakeside. No hooks, no hardware—just potential. After cutting it in half, reshaping it, adding rattles and new hardware, he crafted a plug that actually caught fish. That spark of creativity launched a journey that took him from offshore shark and tuna charters to the creeks and bays of Long Island, chasing striped bass. Over the years, he’s honed his craft designing lures for everything from tuna and dolphin to freshwater bass, eventually leading him to start his own company, MX Plugs. Tune in as we dive into the art, science, and inspiration behind his one-of-a-kind creations.
