Headed out for the first time this fall season for some night fishing at HRBT. We left sunset marina at around 5 and anchored up on the bayside of the HRBT (Norfolk end) in about 18 ft. Caught 2 right away, one keeper, on throwback on a Yozuri crystal minnow with slow retrieve. It died after that. When the tide shifter, we moved to the river side in shallower water (6-8 ft) and fish began busting all around us. Started catching every other cast. Color of the night was white or pearl. All stripers--no blues, puppies or trout for us. Kept four of the biggest fish and headed home around 10:00 on slick calm water. Short run, so opened her up to 30 knots for a short stretch that I know well (don't rec. speed like that at night on a regular basis). Anyway, we had a blast and look forward to gettin out there again soon.

Well done! Thanks for the post.

Lots of fish at the HRBT. I was out Tuseday evening. all 18-22inch. With this cool air coming in, im thinking bigger fish-or more beer

Glad it picked up, we left about 6 while it was lsow. Great action all day though around the island. Caught plenty of stripers and bluefish. We even got into some trout late in the afternoon.

We went out Wed. nite too. Got there around 9PM (after the bite slowed) but still managed a few fish and 2 trout over 19". It was slick as glass and then wind picked up to 10-12 knots around 11:00PM. Headed home and cleaned up.

Planned on going thurs. but work schedule didn't permit...

Glad ya got there at a good time.
