Offshore 1st Time Va Beach Advice Welcome

[t bird]

Ok
Next Thurs driving my boat from South River MD to Lynnehaven Va Beach.
Fri & Sat going off shore for first time in my boat.
Sun drivin back up the bay home
Boat is a ’03 GW Marlin 30’ twin 225 four stroke.
Been out on charters before going to try it on my own.
The goal is to catch tuna.
All advice is appreciated.
I heard not much luck on tuna now …there..
ahhhhh....
the trouble is i already have hotel and slip reserved in VA
The guys goin with me are out of Albu. New Mex
I’ve got a full boat.
So we had to plan this out some months ago.
some times you're the windshield........sometimes ...the bug
yes i posted on other boards too
oh it'll be a long weekend of boating i think reguardless.
all I know about offshore is what I’ve read and
what I learned in a “canyon runner”seminar.
Plus “tips” HERE!!
I’ve had a little trouble even finding charts
“omnimap.com” didn’t really cut it. That reminds me
to check the southern range of my chartplotter.
Oh and I seen a Dr. jim video.
I suspect I’ll be learning a lot
At that “learn by doing college”.
Not my first choice but we’ll see.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow, might want to see if you can find someone from the Tidewater area that wants to fish with you for FREE in exchange for some valuable info.
