Been a bit since last report, ran a few offshore trips before I left for Ohio. Had Wounded Warrior Project bring 10 vets down and ran them on 3 boats. Great day, lots of enjoyment but the troll bite was slow, we had a blast swimming and horse assin around at the end of the day. Next day ran offshore, trolled up 37 small blackfin, landed 2 out of 3 wahoo as well. Also had a trip we did some sea bass and amberjack fishing, it's all a blur so not sure what day was what, but it's been fun!!! The drum fishing has been great at night as well and that should stay solid through Sept into Oct.

Cobia fishing is in full swing. Fish are starting to stage up in their late summer patterns and they are snapping. Limits of cobia almost every trip and it should only get better from here.

    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.

    Trip: Chesapeake Half-Day Rockfish Trip

    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.
