Quick and Dirty Spring Fishing News

May 13, 2018 by 1 Comment

Big red drum have been showing up all along the coast and inside the mouth of the Bay, mainly along the sand bars of the lower barrier islands.

Featured Anglers of the upcoming Cape Charles Queen of the Bay Pier Fishing Tourney (Photo Special Anglers)

Tautog catches are good along the CBBT, wrecks and rubble piles inside the Bay, and at many coastal wrecks. The season closes on Wednesday.

The Virginia Trophy Season for striped bass is now open. Some school-sized fish have been available through the lower Bay, larger from the middle Bay to points north.

Flounder are showing up in Shore backwaters around Wachapreague and Oyster.

Offshore waters could still produce a few bluefin tuna, along with bigeye and yellowfin available for anglers willing to make long runs to the southeast.

    Wayne,

    I think that photo was from the July 4th Guppy Derby. The anglers shown did also fish in the 2016 Queen of the Bay Tourney. These were not Special Anglers. You may rather want to attribute the photo to Fish Dispatch, who runs the Cape Charles Tourney. We have a Special Angler Division, and work very closely with Special Angler, a 501(c)(3) organization. We just want to make sure folks know that Queen of the Bay is a PUBLIC tourney for everyone, not just Special Anglers.

    I’ll plan to provide you some press releases for the upcoming tourney and some story lines of the anglers. Feel free to pull from previous pictures from the 2016 Queen of they Bay Live Leaderboard Gallery.
