FEBRUARY FISHING
REPORTS
JANUARY FISHING REPORTS
There is going to be a rally on Washington, D.C.
that is occurring February 24, 2010 concerning regulations and closures of
different types of fish (including Black Sea Bass, Red Snapper, Amberjack,
Flounder and more!). Many different fisheries including commercial and
recreational fishing will be affected if the closures and strict regulations are
not revised.
We are currently working on getting some information
together about this event, so make sure to be checking our website over the next
few days for more information. We are also planning on sponsoring a bus for this
event so if you are interested in attending this rally please contact the marina
office after Monday Jan 26th for more details.
(New Bus Details)
**The bus ride will be free, but we do need an
accurate head count, because space on the bus is limited. Please call and
make reservations in advance, as people with reservations will get priority over
those who don't have them. The bus will leave the Fishing Center promptly
at 7am. It will leave Washington, DC at 4pm and should return at 8pm.
The bus will only stop at the Fishing Center on the way there and back.**
For all those interested in joining up and
heading to Washington, we will post specifics as soon as we have them, but make
sure to plan ahead because it is a Wednesday!!!
Any support would be greatly appreciated
(including emails or letters sharing your opinions)! Other marinas from
different areas are also planning on participating, and we hope this will be a
huge and successful event!
Don't forget to give your input on our Striped Bass
poll as well if you haven't yet as this information will hopefully be addressed.
It is located at the bottom of this page.

*STRIPER REGULATIONS POLL*
Currently there is a possible proposition to allow an extension along the
Virginia territorial water limit from 3 miles out (from the coast line) to
12 miles out (from the coast line) during Striper season. This would allow
catches of Striped Bass to be legal within 12 miles of the coast line.
This has not been passed yet,
however this information will be shown when the meeting is held to aide in
their decision of extending or not extending the territorial limit.
The current Atlantic Ocean limit
in Virginia is 2 Striper per person, each fish must be 28" or over, and all
fish must be caught within the 3 mile limit from the Virginia coast line.
Please
choose which option you agree with.
*NOTE*
This poll has nothing to do with increasing the size or the bag limit of
Striper. This is only for extending the VA Territorial water limit from 3
miles to 12 miles.
PLEASE CHOOSE ONE:
Make the changes
to the territorial limit. Change the regulations.
2 fish per person,
28" +, and up to 12 miles off the beach.
Keep the regulations as they are.
No change is required. 2 fish per person,
28" +, and within 3 miles off the beach.
