We’d like to extend our warmest holiday wishes on behalf of VBSF.net and our amazing sponsors: Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackle, Long Bay Pointe Marina, Coastal Fiberglass, High Hopes Charters, Paige II Charters, AquaMan Charters, and Knot Wish’n Guide Service.
Next year marks an exciting milestone for us as we celebrate 26 years of sharing the latest fishing reports, news and highlights from our incredible region. Since our start in 2000, it’s been an honor to connect with our vibrant community for over a quarter of a century—how time flies!
Looking ahead, starting in January, our report page will shift to a bi-weekly schedule until March. We’ll continue to bring you updates on notable winter catches and any important news from the fishing agencies as it comes in.
REPORT
Bluefin Tuna fishing remains strong off the Virginia coast! As long as the water temperatures stay above 50°F and baitfish remain plentiful, these powerful fish should continue to stick around.
The ocean wrecks are producing great results, with limits of Sea Bass and an abundance of Triggerfish making for excellent trips. We still haven’t heard if there will be a special February Sea Bass season or not.
Inshore anglers can find Trout and Puppy Drum concentrated in deeper holes as the water cools. Be sure to adjust your tactics to the changing conditions for success.
Eastern Shore Light Tackle Charters
Keep an eye out for large Rockfish! This is the time of year when some trophy-sized catches are lurking in the lower Bay. Near the CBBT, Fisherman’s Island and near Cape Charles.
Tight lines, and good luck!
