Sight fishing for cobia has taken off. We have been waiting for them for a long time. They are not in the Chesapeake Bay yet but they are close enough for a road trip. If you just cannot wait any longer, head down to Hatteras where Mr. Brown Suit is waiting for you.
Boats running offshore out of Hatteras and Oregon Inlet are finding yellowfin tuna and dolphin. There were some bigeyes caught out of Oregon Inlet.
Back in Virginia, the flounder bite continues to be anemic. Anglers are having to work hard for the fish that they are catching. Drum are receiving a lot of attention. Big red drum are being caught in the surf of the Eastern Shore. Anglers fishing inside the seaside inlets are finding red drum, black drum and schools of larger striped bass. The black drum “Cabbage Patch” bite should be starting soon. Tautog fishing was good but the season is now closed. Some large speckled trout are being caught in the Mobjack Bay area. Croaker are biting in the rivers. Small bluefish are being caught in Rudee Inlet and along the oceanfront. There should be some large bluefish in areas like the Hot Dog.
