Off Shore Wrecks


The wrecks at this time of year are packed with action! We went out Tuesday and caught 6 species of fish 3 I don't know the name of and the other 3 are Tog, Seabass and Flounder. Find the wreck and drop them down equals instant action.

This tog was just under 8 lbs.

Flounder,Blues and Trout in the inlet

Took the kids out fishing this weekend and fulfilled all their fishing dreams! First we drifted for flounder inside of Cedar Island and immediately hooked up with a throw back. This excited the kids and the trash talk began. We threw back a few more flounder and croakers before seeing the birds working off the point of Parramore Island. Real em up! We rigged up with bucktails and white grubs. Everyones first cast came back with grub tails missing and talk of the major hits they all received. We ended up catching dozens of snapper blues and a few spike trout.
This is a great time of year to have your children experience an action packed fishery !

Weird!



The fiddler crab on single hook rig slowly disappeared as it descended into the crystal clear water. It bounced on the bottom and Martin took the slack up out of the line. No sooner had he finished, when there was the telltale light tap on the business end of the outfit. He hit back hard thinking it might be a triggerfish or sheepshead. The fish hit back harder and attempted to dive back into the wreck. But Martin held on and fight had begun.

The fish felt like a tautog because the pumping battle. But the water was too warm for this species. After a few minutes, the fish was seen, but not recognized about 20 feet down. When he got the critter within five feet of the surface identification was possible. Thinking this could not be, we had to admit that it was a codfish.

A codfish in Virginia in the middle of August. Unheard of! There has to be something going on in the environment to find this cold water species this far south, in 60 feet of water, during the dog days of Summer.

Had a great day. Trolled to the wreck catching unlimited numbers of one pound blues. After anchoring, we fished for triggers, sheepshead, tog, seabass and flounder. Wound up with no triggers, sheepshead or tog but caught our limit of flounder and a few keeper seabass besides the cod. All the flatfish we caught were legal. The largest was 23 inches.

August: Great time to pick up flounder in the inlet

Hot days of August are producing nice keeper flounder in the inlet. The north end of Parramore and the south end of Cedar Islands have long slopes that go deep and the flounder are hanging on them. Other catches are kingfish, croakers ( have seen them up to 17") bluefish and sharks.
Great time to bring the family down to explore the islands. We can take your family out or bring your own boat. Boat rentals are also available.
