Lynnhaven Trout
The Virginia coast is bustling with activity as anglers enjoy a bountiful fall season. Speckled trout are providing outstanding action, especially inside Lynnhaven Inlet. The flats of Broad Bay and the channels of Linkhorn Bay are hotspots. Specks are responding well to a variety of baits. Topwater baits, soft plastics, and live baits.
Puppy drum and flounder are also making a strong showing, delighting fishermen with their abundance.
Striper bite is good at night
The new slot limit for Rockfish, 19-24 inches, has added a positive twist to the striper season. Night-time is proving to be the perfect time to cast lines at rocky bulkheads, jetties, and lighted docks. A fast-moving tide around the islands and pilings of the CBBT, and HRBT can be productive at night as well.
Bulls still available in the Bay
Red drum, impressive in size, continue to school in the lower Bay and along the oceanfront, with various baits proving successful in these waters. Crab, fresh mullet, spot, jigs tipped with fresh bait, or Gulp trailers are effective.
Sheepshead, known for their structure-loving habits, are still within reach for those hoping to catch a sizable one before they migrate.
King Mackerel action, typically good late September and October, has been slow, but hope remains as bait fish and water temperatures remain ideal.
Deep-sea anglers are finding success with black sea bass and flounder on inshore ocean reefs. Swordfish are a popular target when weather conditions permit anglers to venture out to the canyons.
Virginia’s fall saltwater, inshore and off fishing action is promising for both seasoned and novice anglers.
Tight lines to all!!
