FISHING REPORT ON REEL ESCAPE CHARTERS (www.reelescapecharters.com) FROM SATURDAY 1/19/2008…..VA OCEANFRONT FISHING AT ITS BEST……
Congratulations to Josh Grant from Lynchburg VA for his first monster rockfish citation…..Josh reeled in a monster 44 pounder yesterday along with several other very nice rockfish caught by his dad and girlfriend to round out a great day before the snow set in…..see attached picture of Josh’s prized catch….
We started the day in good conditions about 2mi east of henry light before the the winds picked up. Lines in water less than ten minutes, first fish in box, mid 30 inch fish. one or 2 more in the same range then we notice we have a hog on…….in the boat went a 48" beauty that weighed out at 44 lbs for a first time rock citation for Josh from Lynchburg area…..way to go Josh! we then had steady picking for a few hours, found a huge mass of birds further inshore with one or 2 more in that area…..interestingly the birds produced very little for us evern though it was a mass of thousands it seems in the area for 1-2 hours. as the bite slowed we headed a little further north to find a few more to round out the day. We ended the day with 8 fish total, most in the mid to upper 30 range and one citation at 44 pounds…..lots of meat for the freezer for the Grants from Lynchburg…..thanks for working to bring in all those perty fish you caught!!!
There is still time left in the rock fish ocean season to plan that perfect fishing trip with your friends, family or work group but call soon, dates are becoming limited for the month of February!!!!!!!!!Don’t let that citation catch pass you by!!!!!!!!
