2ND

The weather and wind in Virginia Beach today is still making fishing hard!  Today the inshore and offshore reports are still rough and unfavorable in our area.  Due to the Northeaster, the private charter boats, head boats and the cruising boats will remain at the docks again today.  Even with the wind blowing, fishing in the inlet is still good.  Like yesterday, individuals are opting to take the time to fish for some Spot and Flounder off the rocks of the inlet today.  We are continuing to receive reports of decent size fish in the inlet, making it an enjoyable alternative on the windy day.

Even though the weather today is not the best for fishing out on the water, looking ahead, the offshore and inshore reports for the end of the week and this weekend look as if the weather will be turning around and starting to get really good.  Hopefully the weather for this weekend will be optimal making it an enjoyable holiday weekend. 

Aside from the current weather, fishing this time of year is awesome!! September through November we begin to see a really strong offshore fishing season.  In talking to one of the Charter Boat captains this morning he remarked that many people are not aware of how strong fishing is this time of year.  We are beginning to see the large sized Marlins, the Tuna are starting to return, and the Mahi are beginning to bite well again.  We also begin to see more swordfish and some spearfish.  The other plus about fishing this time of year is that not only is it cooler, the beach and resort area isn't as crowded (typically hotels are cheaper too!!!)

We are still booking charters for the offshore and inshore fishing, and are already beginning to book trips for the winter striper fishing season.  For more information on any of the trips offered, contact the marina at
