"Awesome Weather to go Fishing"

"Great Weather for Fishing"

Today the weather was awesome, started out

with frost all over the "RockHound". The ride

out was 2 to 3 footers, with a nice sunrise. 

We got to the fishing grounds and put our standard 

8 rod spread out. The tide was still incoming til about 

11am, with 3 foot rolling waves. After the slack tide 

give way to the out going tide the action started. 

The inside planner board gets smashed, Bill

is first to the rod with the reel screaming.

After a 15 Min. battle, Bills wins with a 

nice 43" Rock Fish in the boat.

Not to be out done, as soon as we get the

planner back out it gets hit again. This 

time it's Dave's turn to have some fun,

and lands his 45" Fish.

By this time we need to pull up our eels and 

make another drift back where it all started. Half 

way down our 2nd drift the down rod bends over 

and takes line fast.And my Maryland buddy,

(ok, I can't remember his name)

gets in on the action.  a nice 42" Rock.

It all came together after the tide changed 

today for the "RockHound" crew.

To get in on the action, call Capt. Pete

to put you on the fish. We have only

a few weekend dates left for the 2012 Bay

Rock Fish season. But we do have some no

They are officially Here

"They are officially Here"

It was nice to see no wind and  flat water

this morning. A great way to start the day

after the blow we had for over a week.

Headed out to the Eastern Shore waters to

soak some eels. On our 3rd draft in 45 feet

of water we get our first knock down. After

about a 15 min. fight Dave lands this nice 45" cow.

Now we are all pumped up, get the rods 

set again and bang there goes the reel 

screaming on the port side. this time

its Dave's turn, ( had 2 Dave's today)

he plays the fish perfect to the net.

a nice 41" rock fish in the box.

We only boated 2 fish today, but we marked 

lots of big fish and bait. 

And this is Ross, he was a joy on the

boat today and he's welcomed back

anytime he needs to go fishing.

"Come on Mother Nature"

"Let us go Fishing"

Mother Nature is giving us no chance to 

get on the water, and it looks like winds 

aren't going to let up anytime soon.

Looks like the weather gods will give

us a break starting next Wednesday. One 

thing is for sure the water temps are ideal,

and the fish are on the move from the north.

Thanksgiving weekend should be the 

start of good catches of Rock fish

in the 45" class. We all can use some

reels pulling drag and poles bent over.

Walk on Dates;

      Friday 11/23;   3 open spots

    Sunday 11/25;   2 open spots

Saturday 12/01;   Full Boat

Time to Rock Anglers

"Weather Conditions for Rock Fish"

Well Anglers, this is what we have been

waiting for. This weekend should be ideal 

with water Temps in the mid 50's at the CBBT.

Fish in the 32" class are now being boated, and 

will start increasing in size from here on in. The 

water Temps to our north is also holding around 

the mid 50's, with air Temps going back up in the

 70's for the next week will be the ticket to control

 the future water Temps from dropping to fast.

Going over my records, the condition's are here

for catch's like in the photo below.

The Rock Hound is ready, its time to go fishing.

"Jan. & Feb. Up Date"

"Ocean Front Season Update"

The Rock Hound will be running our Rock Fish Charters 

for the months of January & February out of; 

 2100 Marina Shores Drive Virginia Beach VA.

"Recon Charter Friday"

"Nice water, no Debris" 

The Rock Hound headed out Friday morning

to take a look around the Bay. We started at

 the 4th island with no bites at this time, than 

headed to the James river.

We started trolling around the HRBT with

the incoming tide. After about 20 min. we 

 boat 3 schoolie's  in the 17" to 20" class.

The winds started to pick up and after 2 

pass's we headed up river to the M&M. 

After trolling for about 2 hours and 9 more 

schoolie's boated we headed in for the day. All 

fish were released today to fight another day. 

I have canceled Saturday and Sunday's Charter's.

One more week should make a difference in the

quality of the bite and size of the fish.
