Left the dock this morning breaking ice to get out of the marina, hope I didn't wake the hood up in the process as it was loud. Made our way to the bridge and the shoaling is bad, reading as little as 6in under the props, not fun in the dark. Buddy fisjed north yesterday and never turned a rod so we made our way to the south hoping to land on the blackfin. We worked hard and covered the grounds but the bite was slow. We had the marks but they were deep and stayed deep, eventually they had to come up, but just not while we were there. Got a little beat up the first 20miles home into a stiff north wind, thankfully it laid down and we made good time. We spent a little time searching for deep water through the shoal but it wasn't to be found. Finished the ride home with a pretty sunset and cut the few fish we had. Great groups of guys and we had a good time. Weather will allow us to fish Thurs and Friday if we get enough guys to get the trip together. They're out there, just gotta stay on em.

    Trip: Virginia Beach Inshore/Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time. The fish were not biting but our captain Muscles tried his hardest to put us on fish. The time of year was just not the best for fishing. We did catch a few nice size Rock fish. You can't beat a day on the water fishing with friends. The crew had good conversation and tried multiple spots to get the fish on hooks. We appreciated the effort and the atmosphere. Thank you Muscles, Scott and Wayne was with us in spirit.

    Highly knowledgeable guide and hard working mate. Capt. Buck and Rodney provided top notch guiding and service and, in spite of foul weather, kept us on the bite throughout the day. Highly recommended by a seasoned fisherman.
