There's a reason folks keep coming back to fish these waters, and it ain't just the scenery (though that's pretty darn nice too). It's the thrill of never knowing what you might hook into next. One minute you're reeling in a feisty redfish, the next you're locked in an epic battle with a bull cobia that's determined to test your mettle. And let's not forget the camaraderie – there's something about being out on the water that brings people together. Whether you're swapping fish tales or cheering each other on, it's the kind of day that sticks with you long after you're back on dry land.

Target Species Breakdown

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are a favorite among Virginia Beach anglers, and for good reason. Known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, redfish (also called red drum) can range from puppy drum size to over 50 pounds for the big bulls. They love to hang around structure and in the shallows, making for some exciting sight-fishing opportunities. Summer and fall are prime time for reds, but they can be caught year-round if you know where to look. There's nothing quite like watching a big red crush a topwater lure – it's the kind of heart-stopping action that keeps anglers coming back for more.

Spanish Mackerel: If you're looking for fast-paced action, Spanish mackerel are your ticket. These sleek, speedy fish are the sprinters of the sea, known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps. They typically show up in Virginia Beach waters from late spring through early fall, often in large schools that can make for non-stop action. Trolling with small spoons or casting lures into feeding frenzies are go-to tactics. And let's not forget – they're not just fun to catch, they're delicious on the grill too. Captain Ryan can show you the best ways to target these silver speedsters for a day of rod-bending excitement.

Cobia: Ah, the cobia – the crown jewel of Virginia Beach fishing. These powerful, curious fish are the ultimate prize for many anglers, and for good reason. Growing to over 100 pounds, cobia offer an incredible fight and some of the best-eating fish you'll ever taste. They typically show up in late spring and stick around through summer, often cruising near the surface where they can be sight-casted to. It's a heart-pounding experience to spot a big cobia, present your bait, and watch as the fish decides to eat. When they do, hold on tight – you're in for the fight of your life! Captain Ryan's expertise in cobia fishing is second to none, and he'll put you in prime position to land one of these bucket-list fish.
