Chesapeake Bay and Florida Light Tackle Fishing Guide. |
What a day today was….started late due to wind, not a bad thing. Fish did not immediately start hitting but the birds showed the way at the bridge. Got into some great fish on bridge pilings north of the Second island then gannets near the 4th island. For several hours we caught consistantly all on 6 and 10″ BKD’s….beautiful stuff. Most fish were 30-38″. Rough morning, beautiful afternoon fish all day….life is good!!!!!
Folks, after last nights quick scout trip I thought maybe today would be good…..man was that an understatement! From the time we got out there till the time we all said “no mas” we caught and released way over 50 really big fish….biggest measured at 45″.
Awesome bunch of fish
Arrived back to my boat at Marina Shores Marina in VA Beach. With water temps at 45-49 degrees and wind forecasts not bad decided to give the CBBT another shot of catch and release. I’ve got 7 days of trips lined up with a couple spots still left on 14 Feb.
Jumped on my boat around 3pm today. First thing I did was look at real-time wnd data at the bridge and it said “not much wind” so I had to run out and give it a shot. I just couldn’t resist the urge to run out there and attempt to get the stick bent. Boat started on the first turn of the key after a week of sleep…..I like the first turn thing! Ran out to the second island and immediately noticed something which really fires me up……check out the fish-finder
fish stacked on the bottom at my first stop
First fish was a robust 34″er! Not a bad start to my 7 day stint down here….hoping this is a sign of what will be going on for my week down here!!!!
First Drop with a 6" BKD turned up this nice 34"er!
My little home away from home actually isn’t bad at all….with heat, cable tv and wifi I couldn’t be happier!!!
Home away from home!
Had a great time doing a couple presentations and participating in the National Seminar Series with George but back on the water is where I want to be!!!!! Will be updating my site often with whats going on in my world down at the CBBT!!!!!
Take care and good luck fish’in!!!!!
Saturday 4 Feb was my 4th appearance with George Poveromo and his very successful National Seminar Series! The show turned out great, it was almost sold out, around 500 folks there for the show. It was tight quarters but turned out to be just fine for putting on the show. My little girl Emmah and my very significant other Charlotte came with me to the show. As always with George I had a great time participating in the show. Saw many folks at the show who have fished with me and certainly hope to see them again sometime!!! Here’s a shot from the show:
Me trying to get a point across, I think!

The end of January to the beginning of Feb was some good stuff along with some tough stuff!!! Had much more good than bad though …that’s for sure. Had lot’s of big fish and many bent sticks over a 9 day stretch of fishing. Check out my latest News Letter loaded with pics and Walk-On trip dates!!!! Click the link below!!!
