Virginia Beach Offshore: Flounder & Redfish Surprise on Cobia Trip

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! Summer in Virginia Beach brought us perfect conditions for our 6-Hour Shared Offshore Cobia Fishing Trip. I headed out with Taron from Puttin'n Sportsfishing, leaving the dock at first light. The weather cooperated nicely, with partly cloudy skies throughout the day, giving us a mix of sun and shade as we worked the offshore waters. We set out from Adam Keeling Road, ready to see what the Atlantic had in store for us. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. Our offshore adventure saw us employing a variety of techniques to target the fish. We started with some trolling, dragging lines behind the boat to cover more ground. When we found promising spots, we switched it up with some bottom fishing, dropping our lines deep to where the big ones hide. Jigging was also on the menu, giving our arms a workout as we worked those lures. The variety paid off - we managed to hook into some nice Summer Flounder and Redfish. The highlight reel included a 20-inch Summer Flounder and a 19-inch Redfish, both solid catches that put up a good fight. Offshore fishing is always an adventure, and today was no exception. While we were hoping to tangle with some Cobia, the flounder and redfish action more than made up for it. Every trip is different out here, and that's what keeps it exciting. We wrapped up our 6-hour journey with some good fish in the cooler and plenty of stories to tell. For anglers looking to get in on some offshore action, I can't recommend our 6-Hour Shared Offshore Cobia Fishing Trip enough. It's a great way to experience the thrill of Virginia Beach's offshore waters without breaking the bank. At Puttin'n Sportsfishing, we provide everything you need for a successful day on the water. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to offshore fishing, our trips are tailored to give you the best shot at some quality catches. The summer months are prime time for a variety of species, so you never know what might end up on the end of your line. From bottom fishing for flounder to trolling for pelagics, we cover all the bases. And with our convenient location near Adam Keeling Road, it's easy to hop aboard and get out to where the fish are biting. So if you're in the Norfolk VA area and looking for a fishing adventure, give us a call at Puttin'n Sportsfishing. We'll put you on the fish and show you why Virginia Beach is a top destination for offshore angling. Don't miss out on the chance to create your own fishing memories this season!

Virginia Beach Inshore: 33" Sandbar Shark Caps Bay Fishing Trip

Hot bite and happy crew! I took Ryan and their crew out for a fantastic summer day of inshore fishing with Puttin'n Sportsfishing. We hit the waters early in the morning off 3323 Shore Drive in Virginia Beach, greeted by clear conditions that promised a great day on the water. The bay was calling our names, and we were ready to answer with some serious fishing action. Puttin'n Sportsfishing always aims to deliver, and this trip was no exception. With our gear rigged and ready, we set out to try a mix of surf casting, bottom fishing, and even some pier fishing. The variety kept things interesting as we worked different spots along the shore. Our efforts paid off when we hooked into a nice sandbar shark. After a good fight, we brought in a 33-inch beauty - not a bad catch at all for inshore fishing! We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, proud of our shark catch and the overall experience. While we didn't land a boatload of fish, the one we got was definitely worth writing home about. It just goes to show that in fishing, quality can trump quantity any day of the week. If you're thinking about coming out to Virginia Beach for some fishing action, I'd love to take you out on the water. Our 6–8 Hour Bay Fishing Trip is perfect for anglers looking to reel in some excitement on Virginia Beach waters. Whether you're after sharks like we caught today or hoping to tangle with some other inshore species, we've got the know-how to put you on the fish. At Puttin'n Sportsfishing, we specialize in inshore fishing techniques like surf casting and bottom fishing, and we'll tailor the trip to what's biting best. Don't miss out on the chance to experience some of the best bay fishing Virginia Beach has to offer. The waters here are teeming with possibilities, and every trip brings its own surprises. So grab your crew, bring your sense of adventure, and let's hit the bay for some unforgettable fishing action. Trust me, there's nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first tug on the line as you're standing on the shores of Virginia Beach. Book your bay fishing charter with us, and let's make some fishing memories together!
