What's the Deal with This Trip?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Virginia Beach as the sun's coming up, coffee in hand, anticipation building. Our 3/4 day trip gives you the best of both worlds - plenty of time to tangle with some serious fish, but you'll still be back in time for dinner plans. We're all about sight fishing here, which means you'll be actively spotting and casting to fish. It's a rush when you see that big cobia or redfish and get to make the perfect cast. Our crew's always on hand to help you dial in your technique, whether you're a first-timer or looking to up your game.

How We Fish These Waters

Sight fishing is the name of the game on this trip. We'll be running and gunning, keeping our eyes peeled for those telltale signs of fish. When we spot 'em, it's all hands on deck. We use light tackle setups - think 20-30 lb test - to give you a fair fight with these bruisers. Bucktails, live eels, and big plastic swimbaits are our go-to lures. The key is a precise cast and a tempting retrieve. Don't worry if you're new to this style - our crew will walk you through every step, from spotting to setting the hook. And trust me, when that cobia takes off on its first run, you'll be hooked for life.

What's Biting Out There

Cobia: These bruisers are the main event on our summer trips. They can top 100 pounds and put up a fight that'll leave your arms shaking. Cobia love to cruise near the surface, often hanging around buoys or following rays. When you spot one, get ready for an adrenaline rush. They hit hard and run like freight trains. The best time to target them is from late May through September when they migrate through our waters.

Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a blast to catch. They range from "puppy drum" in the 5-10 pound class all the way up to bull reds topping 50 pounds. Redfish are known for their powerful runs and tendency to put up a stubborn fight right at the boat. We catch them year-round, but fall is prime time when big schools of bull reds move through. Sight fishing for tailing reds in shallow water is an experience you won't forget.

Time to Lock In Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fishing out here, but nothing beats experiencing it firsthand.
