Water is warming up with the occasional interruption of cold fronts and wicked windstorms. Spent a few days out of the last week chasing whatever would bite from shore. Mostly limited to wade and jetty fishing in the Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel areas but have done exceedingly well on sublegal flounder (keep in mind fluke must be 19" to harvest here in VA) dragging heavy clousers on the bottom, especially around the rock piles. Some smaller croaker (3/4 of a pound) and hickory shad up to 16" thrown in. Regularly seeing large schools of small bunker with flounder and croaker boiling underneath them. Thus far no drum, trout or blues from shore but this should change once we have another warming trend. Boat anglers are doing very well on taylor blues, small trout and puppy drum at the HRBT and Lynnhaven areas...
Never knew saltwater flyfishin would be so much fun! Typical day sees us hooking around 20-25 fish apiece and landing around 12-15, mostly flounder in the 12-16" range. Seems like there is a good deal of public access on the beaches, so I'm going to have my hands full trying out new spots every week.
PM if interested in joining or carpooling from Richmond area.
