Crazy good fishing offshore out of Virginia beach now.
Nate Creasy, Matt Metelsky and I did an overnight trip yesterday and today. Yesterday we targeted swords. After a long fight, we broke off the biggest sword I have ever seen in person. 500+# or so. The swivel to the leader got buried under the braid and pow! She gone watched it just swim away about 50 feet from the boat. Then we set the drift at night. Caught a pile of sharks and a nice 150ish sword. Went bottom fishing this morning and caught a bunch of nice blueline tiles up to 18#, some rosefish, a couple small goldens. Then went trolling this afternoon and every marine mammal and every yellowfin tuna in the atlantic ocean, along with a couple wahoo and a couple mahi were ganged up in that 77 degree water in the upper 200's. Yes.
There is 77 degree blue water in late october off virginia beach- and its HOLDING. Awesome fishing. Awesome weather. Fun times with the dudes.Fished 2 full days offshore, got a box full of fish, and burned about 150 gallons of diesel. Wish we would have caught that big sword though.
