Today was a private charter for the Virginia Beach Sport Fishing Forum and web site organized by Dr. Najed Jafri. We headed on out from the wharf at Long Bay Pointe Tackle in Lynnhaven, Virginia Beach to the offshore wrecks to try some deep sea fishing in the Atlantic Ocean.

It was a bit choppy and we had a few visits from "Ralph", "Earl", and "The Car Salesmen". The fish were biting though, especially the Dog Sharks and the Conger Eels. We struggled to catch 45 Black Sea Bass on the day despite the additional chumming!

Pretty work.

someone put some "handles" with the faces, sounded like a, *burp*, fun time.

Some "handles"
--I'm the guy in the last pic with the "doubleheader". 2 pics above in the red jacket with the fat seabass is Greg "albemarle 24", who spent the least time fishing but caught some of the most impressive fish.

In the group pic, the guy between me and the mate (who's wearing the white bib) is DJ (Darrell) who I believe caught the most fish. I forgot the other guys names, but I don't think they're on the forum (sorry if I screwed up).

It was a fun time--a little rough--but still a blast.

Yeah, but NJ1 - tell the TRUTH about the story of why you "HAD" to bring some fresh Black Sea Bass home with you!

Capt. Jim--it goes back to the days of the caveman-- me hunts and brings home the "bacon" and in return gets a little.......well you all know how that's supposed to end.

Naved, bet it sux when you get skunked !!!!(or maybe it dont,lol)

can anyone give coordanites for the most popular seabass places

im only willing to go about 30 miles offshore but thats about it, i only have a 23' boat so if there are any popular places within that range that would be great

thanks a lot if anyone gives me coordanites

heres a good site with lots of numbers for well known stuff- and a good web site in its own right- be careful and maybe ride with someone or have someone ride with you if you have not wreck fished off the beach before- maybe catch a ride with capn Jim one time, he sure knows his stuff!!!!

LOL. Craig, the worst is the infamous "double skunk"--but I must say, with 3 kids, and the fourth on the way in June, the "fishing"'s been good on occassion at least

By the way, thanks for putting that site info for the wrecks up--it looks great.

Naved

Cool Breeze - he's not even telling half of the story. Ask him about his frustration of about 12 DAWG Sharks and Conger Eels in a row (not to mention "Ralph")! When he finally started catching big Black Sea Bass, that was PRICELESS! I wish I had been taping with sound and video!

C'mon Dr., out with the WHOLE story.

You guys are a riot. Hope I can make the next trip.

Knowing Naveds line of work and then throwing the work "skunk" in the mix- whew!!! they dont even need to be mentioned in the same paragraph !!!(literally ,lol

Oh man, Cool Breeze, you have me ROTFLMAO. "Skunk", oh man...

"OOOOOHHH Capt. Jim, I can't work any more back to back shifts...I've got Scooby Disease"...

I would hate to hear my surgeon say he got skunked while trying to remove something from my body.Thats a scarey thought,MAN!!!

The smell of skunk or even the smell of fish--I can't seem to get away from a bad day at the office ...For those who might think it's a glamour job--think again.

Capt. Jim's right--after about 20 dog sharks and a nasty-a__ conger eel before even a single sea bass, I was pretty darn excited to finally catch one. If I had come home empty-handed after a trip like that, I would've gotten sh-- from my brothers, cousins, etc., not to mention the above noted issues with the wife.

Mega, the last time I thought of skunk while removing something from someone's body had to do with a tampon that had "gotten lost" for about 3 weeks.....I would rather have gotten sprayed by a skunk (sorry if I turned any stomachs...)

Sounds like the Toxic shock poster girl.I dont doubt you have seen more than most.I guess the ER in SanFrancisco extracts a lot of foreighn objects from certain individuals.

LOL. I wouldn't know about that since I specialize in Women's health.....

My wife is a PHD specializing in mental health.I have much respect for anyone who has taken their education that far.It aint easy Im sure you know.
