My buddy is out from VA Beach and had some time to get out fishing, but he only brought some small gear to look for the usual bass, butts and vina. We tried for bass and got bumped a few times, but the wind was wicked and in our face! We made a few moves for nada before heading to the Barefoot Bar to get inspiration from the "River" that runs through it. After seeing some big bass, corvine, yellowtail and everything else that swims in the bay, we went to spot number 3 and even put out some meat rods in hopes for a leopard. We finally found some bass also as we picked up a handful and missed twice as many. It's been a long time since I went small rod fishing.
Finally one of the meat rods went off and Andrew had something actually pull back. A little typical male Bat.
Squatch took off and Andrew and I took off to spot number 4 to hunt for Vina. WTF was going on last night? The bay looked like a weekend and people were everywhere!!!!
We had a good start with vina in the area thrashing bait and had some missed blow ups, but just then 100 kayaks run right over where we were fishing and then 10 minutes after that the fireworks started bombing the area. Needless to say, the bite went poo poo and we just called it the night.
Oh well, not much going on, but he just loved trying new things and jumping all around the bay looking for critters to play. I for one CAN'T WAIT for the tourists to go home and the kids to go back to school. Summertime crowds are just not my thing anymore.... if they ever were.
Until next tide!
