The Chesapeake Bay from Maryland  to the Virginia Capes, the rivers and estuaries that feed it as well as the adjacent offshore waters of Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina make up one of the most spectacular fisheries in the world! Those who have had the opportunity to fish this special place feel fortunate. The Chesapeake Bay has one of the largest fish attracting devices in the world, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Complex. Add to that the offshore towers and ship wrecks, near by Inlets, the relatively short run to the Gulf Stream and you quickly realize why the Mid-Atlantic coast is considered one of the best places in the world to fish!

This site is designed to assist you in planning your next Fishing Adventure. It covers many of the fish you will encounter, inshore and offshore. We have links to some of the best Marinas, Tackle Suppliers, Charter Boats ,and  Fishing Guides in the area. We have quick links to local weather, marine water temp, tide reports and data buoy reports. The Seafood Recipe link has some great ideas for your catch. We have upgraded our discussion boards.

Pending IGFA All-Tackle World Record Yellow Edge Grouper


March 12, 2008 -
Heath Cataulin of Norfolk fishing aboard VBSF sponsor the Rudee Angler at the edge of the
Norfolk Canyon with Captain Skip Feller caught a 46-pound, 2-ounces Yellow Edge Grouper which tops the existing IGFA World Record by several pounds. The existing record was 41pounds, 1-ounce.


The fish was verified by an official marine biologist, and is being processed by the IGFA certification program through Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackle, the local official IGFA weigh station. Heath was using a hand-tied two hook rig with Mustad circle hooks donned with squid on a Penn Baja reel and Ugly Stick rod combo. The fight took approximately 15 minutes.

 

Congratulations to the angler, Captain and Crew of the Rudee Angler out of the Virginia Beach Fishing Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

VBSF CHARTER BOAT GUIDE

VA Beach, Eastern Shore, Nags Head, Hatteras

 

Charter Boats - Head boats - Guide Services

 

1/2 day - Full Day - Inshore - Offshore

Large Groups - Small Groups 

 

WE GOTCHA COVERED!

Private charter boats,  carry up to 6 anglers for one set fee on a custom fishing trip either inshore or off. These boats do mostly trolling, however they do bottom fishing also. Trolling is where the boat puts out up to 7 lines at varying depths & lengths and is moving the whole time dragging baits. On a offshore trip you can catch such species as Blue Marlin, Blue Fin & Yellow Fin Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin, King Mackerel, Blue Fish, Spanish Mackerel. While bottom fishing you can catch Stripers, Croaker, Spot, Flounder, Trout, Drum, Cobia, Amberjack, Sharks and Spadefish.

 

Guides services, specialize in custom trips and cater to small groups, usually 1 to 3 anglers. This type of chartering is up close and personal, lots of one on one instruction from your guide. They offer a hands on experience, from rod handling to bait rigging.  Most guide trips are inshore but some guides offer offshore trip as well. Guides offer additional fishing techniques, like saltwater fly-fishing.

 

Head boats, sometime called party boats, take 30 to 60 fishermen on a bottom or drift fishing trip lasting from a half day to whole day. Anglers pay on a per-angler bases, and the boat usually has room for walk ups. The trip includes bait, tackle, someone to gaff and take your fish off, and great help when lines break or get tangled.
