  • Where would you go?

    Anyone willing to point me to a decent place to fish in Virginia between Christmas and New Years? I don't really care much what I might catch or whether I'm in salt or fresh water, I'd just like a kayak fishing fix. Temperatures don't look too bad next week at this point.

    The Wilson Bridge for catfish is always a good time.

    Everyone should believe in something... I believe I'll go fishing.

          Really any part as I'd be driving from central PA looking for at least slightly warmer temps. I've driven to Florida the last few winters but don't have as much time this year because of some family obligations. I figure I might at least get to VA if the weather is cooperative. So, VA is really just named because that is about how far south I figure I can go for just a couple days. I did say that I did care what I'd catch, but I guess I care a little. Catfishing isn't my thing.

              Large red drum were all around the outer banks, NC, about a month ago, so they may be moving into VA waters now. Or they might be heading the opposite direction, I know nothing about their migration patterns. Smith Mtn Lake in Roanoke VA might be good too, I know Stripers in the Fall there are pretty plentiful (might need a guide though, it's a massive lake). Also ask ComeOnFish, he seems to be an expert on a lot of VA waters, so he might be able to point you in the right direction.

                Bull reds in VA moved south earlier in the Fall. Striper season ends the 31st in VA and they're still biting.

                    If you want fresh water look at lake Anna in va.
                    If your comfortable being on big tidal water you could go jigging for rockfish in the Chesapeake. Pickerel in the tidal creeks should be picking up soon too. Look at coming down near annapolis Maryland, there are a bunch of us in that area

                        Wow, now that does make trying cat fish tempting! I'll be heading to the Norfolk area Wednesday morning (from central PA) where I plan to fish Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, though the weather looks bad for Thursday at this point. Where is the Wilson bridge and what do you use to catch those monsters? If anyone has a good suggestion for Norfolk, I'd love to hear it. I've got a place to stay right on the Elizabeth river, so I can launch most conveniently from there, but can of course go anywhere. I know the CBBT and HRBT are right there, but all I really know is trolling, so I could use advice on tactics too if there is a particular tactic needed for a particular place. I believe that the tide is outgoing for much of the daylight hours.

                          Google Jones Point Park in Alexandria VA. The bridge is just south of D.C. on the Potomac. I use raw chicken breast with good success. I have landed many Blue catfish there. You don't have to go more then a few hundred yards from the floating dock. Just use a fish finder rig and 2 to 8oz lead. Fish the ends of the walls.

                          You will need a D.C. fishing license $13.00 for the year. You launch from VA but it's mostly D.C. waters.
