Witnessing history in the making is a cool experience. This weekend, I did just that.
I was invited to co-host with Captain Don Lancaster on his radio show “Fishing Tidewater,” as he covered the grand opening of the new Buckroe Fishing Pier in Hampton, Virginia.
The original pier was destroyed in Hurricane Isabel in 2003. The new pier was built to withstand hurricane strength winds, and stretches into the lower Chesapeake Bay with 706-feet of sturdy concrete and planks. This pier is best known for typically hosting some the first cobia catches of the season. It turns out, that this weekend is the very weekend we normally see the first cobia catches in the lower Bay.
