Well, I didn't do nearly as well as the charter boys from the VA Beach FC. I was probably fishing in the wrong area today as I did not see a charter boat all day. Anyway, we started at the 4a around 7:15, trolled south to CH, ran south to Dam Neck and trolled north back to CH. Pulled lines around 3:30 and enjoyed a smooth ride back across the bay. Great day on the water with Les (cmacdol) talking smack and enjoying the great weather.

I just don't get it!! Below is the fishing centers report backed by a ton of pictures. How come all you guy's didn't catch anything and fished the same area. Take note of all the citations which were caught at Cape Henry. Something sure smells fishy!!!!

FBFC Saturday 7th Feb 2009
** Citations are listed at the bottom of the page **
Looks like our predictions were right! Today has been amazing as far as fishing goes, the weather was an added bonus. Tons and tons of citations today, most of them released. A lot of people decided to go south towards the Corolla and Currituck Lights to do some fishing, while others decided to go north and a little east to do some catch and release. Honestly, if you don't want to make such a long run north or south to do some fishing, you can always go out off the beach and strictly do catch and release. Seems like this was the way to go today. Tons of limits were brought in well before 12 o' clock today making it hard to keep up with all the fish and charters. We still have openings for this week if you want to get out on the hot fishing actions. You can either charter a boat for your party or you can let us help you jump on a boat if you're by yourself.
