Virginia Beach
Good fishing was pounded Saturday on the weekly party boat trip to Norfolk Canyon with Rudee Inlet Charters, Capt. Skip Feller said. A very good catch of blueline tilefish was bombed, and the trip was also able to fish in the deep a moment, rounding up golden tilefish, black belly rosefish and even bluefish. Most of the blues were 2 to 4 pounds, but a few were probably 13 or 14 pounds. Seas were slick calm on the gorgeous day, and the long-range forecast looks like this Saturday’s trip will sail. Sixteen-hour trips are sailing to Norfolk Canyon every Saturday from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. for catches including blueline tilefish, golden tiles, black belly rosefish, wreckfish and groupers. In other news, rockfishing was hit or miss close to shore at Virginia Beach on other boats. Some days turned up good catches, and other days were “kind of spotty,” Skip said. A few bluefin tuna remained, and the fleet docked four or five, including a 267-pounder that Skip saw, on Monday. Call: 757-422-5700 or 757-425-3400. Visit Web Site.
