I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ALL THIS FANTASTIC OFFSHORE FISHING LATELY AND I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME HOTSPOTS AND DISTANCES TO THEM. I AM JUST GETTING STARTED INTO THE BLUEWATER AND AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE DISTANCES I WILL HAVE TO RUN.

000's is pretty much due east of VA-NC border ....
Welcome to bluewater fishing! All the distances I'm giving are fromWachapreague Inlet and are Nautical miles.
Leaving from there or Chinco, you're in good striking distance to the Washington Canyon(100 fathom tip 37 29.197 74 30.500)...50-55 miles depending on depth you want to fish. They've had some good billfsih bit, but that warm seemed to have moved south. Soon, there will be more tuna reports from that area s water temps cool.
Norfolk Canyon(100 fathom tip 37 05.643 74 45.284) is 49-56 miles away, again depending on depth of fishing. This has been the hot spot for the latest billfish action.
You can also hit the...
26 Mile Hill (37 14.662 75 11.458) approx 27 miles from Wacha.
20 Fathom Finger aka Sea Gull wreck (37 20.361 74 58.159) 32 miles. from Wach
At the top of the 20 Fath Finger is an area known as "the Crotch"..good spot.
22 Fathom Finger( 36 51.513 74 59.639) 51 miles from Wacha.
These are just a few. I got these numbers and distances off a cahrt by Fishing Rod Enterprises that covers from Chinco to OI. I suggest you get a chart like this or by Capt Seagulls and plug some numbers into your GPS. that will give you better distances from exactly where you want to leave. Best of lcuk!!

Norfolk is 59 miles to the numbers I gave
Washington is 79 miles
26 Mile Hill 43 miles
20 Fathom Finger 55.7 miles

To really get in the Norfolk Canyon it is 63 KM from the Rudee inlet Buoy
Yeah those distances where to the 100 fathom tip of the Canyon. Going that far, another 4-8 miles to the deep parts of the Canyon ain't nothing.
