After only 3 hours of sleep in my Virginia Beach hotel room last night, I dragged my butt down to the wharf at Long Bay Pointe Bait & Tackle to take a scheduled 8 eager anglers out to do some Atlantic Ocean deep sea wreck fishing. When I arrived, for some reason, only 2 anglers showed up to go. I did not want to disappoint the 2 that did show up, so we went anyway. Even though I did not make any money today, I got to take 2 guys out and show them the beauty and bounty of the Atlantic Ocean. Hey, it's better than sitting at the wharf, what the heck. Besides, I wanted to go fishing in a HUGE way and it was a beautiful morning!
These 2 guys were a trip! I'm glad we went anyway. They were so funny and we had a blast catching 49 Black Sea Bass on the day (1 short of their limit). A beautiful day on the Atlantic Ocean with some nice guys was well worth it.
We weeded through the Dog Sharks and Conger Eels and had a good catch for only 2 anglers. I'm sure the fellas had major sore arms when they got home! I'll send the pictures to Tony, the webmaster and have him post them here asap.
Both anglers earned VA release and weight Citations.
