Redfish

One for the books today! I took Craig and their crew out for some inshore action with Puttin'n Sportsfishing in Virginia Beach this summer. We set off from 3323 Shore Dr on a partly cloudy morning, perfect conditions for what we had in mind. The water was calling our names as we headed out to the flats near Canal Road, ready to see what the day would bring.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business with some serious fishing. I showed the crew the ropes on bottom bouncing, drift fishing, and live bait fishing - all great techniques for the flats we were working. The redfish were biting, and we managed to land some beauties. The highlight of the day was a monster 68-inch redfish that put up one heck of a fight. It's catches like that that make every trip out here special. We wrapped up with smiles all around, feeling good about our haul and the time spent on the water.

If you're looking to get in on some of this action, I'd love to take you out on Virginia Beach's Ultimate Fishing Experience.
