Bass Pro Tour Map Study | Chowan River | Stage 5



Not as much to look at for topo maps on this one! The Chowan river is a completely new body of water for me. I did not go and prefish here so spending my time covering water in the practice will be very important. Im super excited about this event and the fact that it is new water for me. This is also the first tidal water we will fish on the BPT. Tidal water isn’t my strong suit but I love new places, especially when they are supposed to be as good as this one is!

  1. There's big bass everywhere. The sound has giants and isn't saltwater. The river to the right u were talking about is the North River. Full of bigs. Tides are all wind driven. North wind blows it out and south pushes it back in.

  2. Living near the Mobile Bay we utilize a salinity report that will show how far the salt is infiltrating the bays. For us here in lower SW Alabama the shrimp move in in Late October due to it being the driest month and the salt moves in, often causing a feeding frenzy.

  3. The roanoke will play a big role. The tide will not be a factor up the rivers because of the rivers feeding the chowan, ( the Nottoway and the Black water River) are running at slightly higher than normal june heights. There will be some current though.

  4. The classic you’re speaking of was on the Currituck Sound back in the early 70’s, I think. I don’t think there any bass in the Currituck now as a major storm cut a new inlet on the Outer Banks and salt water intrusion killed out the fresh water life including the beneficial grass in the Currituck.
