Hey Blue-yeah same here. There are some resident fish around early season, some come down from the upper bay. The big-uns dont get here really till Dec. We run to the ocean(about 45 mins) and mainly fish off Rudee inlet off Va Beach. Sometimes we'll go further south to 'The Golfball' or to around the NC line. I guess its 50/50 around here- Stripers vs Rockfish HAHAHA!
