After picking up a few extra lures at the local tackle shop we headed to the Lynnhaven Inlet Ramp. On Saturday, Jan 6, 2007, the weather was warm, as it had been all week, with air temperatures over 70. I've been fishing, not guiding, all week and this was my first time out with Palm Pilot, Capt. John Deering, Whalen, and Ron. Palm Pilot's Grady White boat had plenty room to fish from and I can't thank him enough for inviting me to go along.



The water temperature was 53 degrees at the end of the day. There will be some outstanding striped bass fishing at the CBBT in weeks to come.

SPECIAL THANKS: To Palm Pilot, Whalen, Capt. John Deering, and Ron for spending some quality fishing time with me. We all stayed in a nice individual home located one block of off Virginia Beach and shared many fish stories, techniques, locations, good food, and many laughs. Thanks fellows.

Sounds like a great day. Thanks for the report. Did you get paper on that 44" fish? 44" is a release citation. I'm guessing that you released it since the bay season was closed.

What a fantastic report...congrats on the great time........Awesome !...Bob

Sounds like a good time.

How many boats were out there?

You at the Hi Rise?

Nice fish Tom and Kevin!!!
Tight lines.
