I've been going out 1/2 hour prior to sunset and fishing first and second island, chucking small storms, bunker color at the tubes. anchoring in about 10 feet of water. I also like using red and white rattletrap. great bait. I got rid of the trebbles and bent back the barbs on the 5.0's so i don't mess up the fish.
Got over 30 the other night. All small guys, but who cares.
I also fish the south end of the first island on the ocean side and toss the stroms right at the rocks and let them sink down a few feet. Saw a large school of what i thought were blues there too. -Actually I know they were blues by the way they mashed up the stroms.
See you out there. My boat is T-BAG. Blue hull 18 ft CC.

Actually i am going to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. When we do get around to going to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, then I will ask where everyones favorite fishing spots are at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and not the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. But thanks for looking out.

Man, I have heard of dads getting strippers for their sons before but don't you think 4 years old is a little early?
