What's the Deal?

Listen up, folks. This isn't your average boat ride. We're talking about a full-on redfish assault in the rich inshore waters of Virginia Beach. For 4 or 6 hours (your call), we'll be targeting trophy-sized reds in all the sweet spots - from grass flats to oyster bars and everything in between. The captain's got eyes like a hawk and knows these waters like the back of his hand. You'll be using top-notch gear, learning pro techniques, and hopefully doing a whole lot of catching. It's hands-on action from start to finish, so come ready to work those arms!

Tactics and Terrain

Alright, let's talk shop. We'll be using a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what the reds are hungry for that day. Expect to do some sight casting in the shallows, where you can watch these brutes crush your offering. We might also drift fish deeper channels or work structure like docks and jetties. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety - one minute you're finessing a soft plastic, the next you're holding on for dear life as a bull red makes a run for it. Don't worry if you're new to this game; the captain will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

The Main Event: Redfish

Let's talk about the star of the show - the redfish, also known as red drum. These copper-colored bruisers are the bread and butter of Virginia Beach inshore fishing, and for good reason. They're hard-fighting, great-eating, and just plain fun to catch. Redfish in these waters can range from "puppy drum" in the 18-inch class all the way up to trophy "bull reds" pushing 50 inches or more. They love to hang around structure, from grass flats to oyster bars, and they're not shy about crushing a well-presented bait.

What makes redfish so exciting? For starters, they're absolute bulldogs on the line. When a big red takes off, you'd better hold on tight! They've got powerful tails that can peel off yards of line in seconds. But the real thrill comes from sight fishing for them in shallow water. There's nothing quite like watching a big red's back come out of the water as it tails on a crab, then placing your cast just right and seeing that fish turn and pounce. It's heart-pounding action that'll have you hooked for life.

The best time to target redfish in Virginia Beach is typically from late spring through fall, with the action really heating up in the summer and early fall. During these months, the waters are teeming with bait, and the reds are on the feed. But don't count out the cooler months - some of the biggest bulls are caught in the winter and early spring when they're staging for the spawn.
