Well to say fishing is great is an under statement hear in Virginia Beach for Striper. We are talking some real nice class of fish.
2-20
Headed out for an afternoon charter the seas had picked up with a stiff SE wind, but there bite was good in the AM so hope were up. Cruised around for an hour before finding a spot where we were marking fish. Lines in and started picking at them. Nice 25 to 30 pound class fish. Then died off a little. Next thing I know John says Man there is a behive about 2 miles down the beach. Pick up make our way to it. Of Course it is blowing 20 out of the SE and we are heading into snotty 4+ footers. So everyone is chomping at the bit to get there and put lines in. Lines in and game on! We crushed the about 30+ fish in an hour biggest was 41 Pounds.

Headed out for a full day Charter in flat calm seas but a little rainy. Went out looking for the fish and tried several spots with no luck. Got the call on where they were and headed into the spot. Well Game on! Started catching with nice class of fish 30 Pounders. Then Julian brings in a nice 35 Pounder then comes the mother of all fish so far this season Keny catches a 55 Pounder .Well we had 9 nice by 11:30 AM fish but wanted a limit. So for the next 4 hours scrap for that last fish and get it at 3:30PM it being a double. Man Keny had the pig 55 POUNDER!
2-24
As usual the weather man called for 5 to 10 out of the NE and it was 15 to 20 and 4 to 5 foot wind blown chop. Head out the Cape Henry and start trolling. Real hard current and slop made for fun fishing HOLD ON! After a short period get a call and head to the spot. Well to say it was going off was an understatement. Birds diving fish roll on top of the water and only three of us boats. Lines in and caught doubles of 28 to 35 Pound fish. We us a tandem rig with 9" shads. Well imagine having TWO 30 pounders on one rod in 4 to 5 foot chop with 5 guys doing the same thing. 5 rods out 10 fish on! 30 minutes limt of 14 fish and headed back to the barn by 9:30AM! Mark Whites crew was stoked and had never seen fishign this good.
Well it is goiing off up hear right now so come on up and see us for a day if you want some pullage!
