Headed out earlier yesterday for my last day on the water for a year since the Navy decided to semd me to work with the army in Iraq( IA for all you Navy boys) but my and my 7 y/o fishing buddy headed out around 5 am from lynnhaven headed to the first Inland and got right in to Sea bass and Oyster Toad the a school or shad rolled through and was able to land some on a sabaki rig after a while switched under the bridge and got in to some non stop croaker action on strip squid and he caught his first sand shark there. As the bay started to pick up with the north east wind we decided to head back in to the inlet and fish the grass lines the first spot yielded him two dink flounder and then with a tip from a passing kayaker we switched spot and I was able to put him on some puppy drum all we caught on white gulp with a 1/4 red head. So by noon tire and worn out and fish in the box we head in.

So we had a great day the catch list was Black Sea Bass, Oyster Toads, Hickery Shad, Croaker, Shark, Flounder, Red Drum

I also want to thank everyone on this site the lesson about the bay and tecniques that I picked up here were the key to succeful day on the water.

See you in a year

Somewhere on here it explains how to post a picture. Open an account with photobucket, snapfish, or my fishing pictures. They're free. When posting hit the IMG button and copy and paste the url of the picture location then hit IMG again. This will include your picture in the post. Or you can attach it but the file has to be pretty small.

Glad that spot worked for you. Always nice seeing a father and a young son on the water. There was alot of red water moving in when i saw you. Wondered if that was going to mess up the bite, guess not. Thanks for your service and be safe!!

Welcome to the VBSF Team Shane, and thanks for helping one of us out. Hoverpilot, you keep your head down over there. I understand that it's almost as bad as Portsmouth on a Friday night (P-town residents substitute Ocean View for Portsmouth, Ocean View residents DUCK!).

THANKS
be safe

Here's to you for your service to your country. THANKS!!!

It's great you got to spend some time with your son before you leave,, and it's even better you guys caught some fish.

He won't ever forget that trip.....

Be safe over there.....
