Today we had our friend Paul Stinson and his crew of 9 aboard to try our hand at chumming the Northern Neck reef for stripers. We arrived on the scene at about 7:30 and began slinging the hash. In no time at all we were starting to pick up a few fish. A little on the slow side for chumming but good quality fish ranging from 20-26 inches and fat as footballs. We caught fish in our first spot off and on for a couple of hours before moving to another location on the reef at the beginning of the next tide. This place was hot. The fish were in a frenzy right behind the boat in plain view. Easy pickings as all you had to do was drop your baited hook back in the slick and "fish on"! No problem limiting out on good quality fish and catching and releasing plenty more.
The trolling bite has picked up tremendously the last couple of days as well. Bigger fish are being caught in the Northern portions of the bay and the Eastern side below Tangier produced some 30+ inch fish yesterday. The first of the season in our neck of the woods. We will be back on the trolling charters tomorrow and nearly everyday throughout the rest of November. Stay tuned for more reports and photos of our trips.
Have 2 openings for the month of November right now. the 21st and the 27th. This is good couple of trips to catch some quality fish from the bay before we head down to Va beach to really blast the bass. Interested persons give me a call ASAP. 804-725-6288
