Toothy Critters= Dinner For Me!

[jetskibrian]

With the forcast calling for wind later today I decided to trailer over to Lynhaven Inlet in Virginia Beach instead of crossing the Cheasapeake Bay. I stopped at Oceans East on North Hampton and picked up some live crabs and more hooks, it is a "have it all store" and a great crew of guys running it. I then dropped at Crab Creek boat ramp around 0800 and headed straight for the third island of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and worked some of the piles with no luck so I headed to the fourth island and managed to pick up four Tau Tog around the piles of the bridge. I kept one at 17 and a nice 21 incher. It was not fast and furious but I will have a good Tog dinner tonight. I caught some on hard crab and the 21" on a fiddler. Winds were East at 5-10 when I left and a steady 15 when I got back around 1230. I stopped in at Crab Creek Pizza right by the ramp and got a small pizza pie for the ride home to Poquoson, great way to finish the day and I can't wait to get out and do it again. Here are some of the pictures I took while I was out.

A seal? Those are regular inhabitants? That is really strange.

The Harbor Seals have been here since mid winter. I think it is unusual that they are still here. Some years you never see them, most years there are only a couple, this year there are a least a dozen.

Just an FYI to you all. The past two years the Harbor Seals have actually beached themselves on the sand at Dam Neck Annex into the month of May. I work over there during the week at times and it has become quite normal to see them there. GREAT PICS!!!
