Virginia Beach 1/25 & 1/26 Fishing Report

[Stillrunning]

Great catch. I was suppose to go Sunday but the wind was blowing a little to hard. Just a note: If you fish in NC you have to have a NC fishing Lic. as NC does not regonize VA's Lic. anymore. Its pretty stupid but it changed a couple of years ago.

Yep, I am from NC so already had the NC saltwater license. I thought it was pretty cool that I was able to buy a boat license for VA for $38 as opposed to all 4 of us non-residents having to pay that much a piece for individual licenses.

I did hear some boats on the radio mention the NC license and that they wouldn't be able to go into NC due to folks on their boat not having the NC license.

Saturday was a super nice day on the water. From the reports on Tidal Fish sounds like we should have been using the tandem umbrella rigs

Its hard to tell. I try trolling an umbrella, mojo on bottom then one up mid way, and a stretch 30. If its slow I will change up colors until something works. If I start catching on one rig I'll try running more stuff that matches its colors. Then some days it just does not matter they won't hit anything or they will hit everything. My buddy and my brother-in-law went out Saturday and both got skunked so feel lucky.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! Not bad for January!!

Thanks guys. I guess we are pretty fortunate to be fishing in January. We saw a little snow flurry while we were out there Saturday. Actually in one of the pics I was trying to get a flake or two on film but it was just too small.

Nice job BR. Looks like a load of fun.

That water up there is COLD!!!! The water was 50 degrees @ Holden Beach yesterday.

No kidding...just a tad more and the whole pond will ice over
Its the coldest water I've fished in. Its no wonder the fish weren't biting good...they could barely open their mouths for the shivers
