Affordable Charters Fishing Report 12-14-08
On the piers bluefish, a few Virginia mullet, croaker, & gray trout.
On the surf a few puppy drum, bluefish, speckled trout, & croaker.
Inshore waterways, river, & bays Virginia mullet, small red drum, black bass, striped bass, croaker, & speckled trout.
Offshore no report.
Fishing tip of the week: My favorite way of fishing for striped bass since there are not as many as in past years, I like trolling for them. Depending on the depth of water you’re in determines the type of lure to use. After I locate the fish by trolling I pull up to that same spot & sneak my anchor overboard. A good all around lure is a mirror lure 52m11 (red head with white body). This lure has good all around effect on predator fish. Keep fishing & stay safe.
