Anglers casting or jigging are routinely catching Spanish mackerel to 20 inches while bottom fishermen score on good-sized croaker and flounder. Bottom fishing for spot, croaker and flounder is steady while casters are catching Spanish mackerel and a few snapper blues. Daytime bottom fishermen find croaker and flounder reasonably cooperative while Spanish mackerel are active near the end of the pier early in the day. After dark, the croaker become more aggressive and pan trout swarm beneath the pier lights. Lynnhaven - The pier enjoyed a fair run of crabs the past several days and several flurries of Spanish mackerel and taylor blues.
Sea mullet provide steady bites most of the time while pan trout are available after dark.
Virginia Beach - Strong SW winds usually mean slow fishing along the oceanfront and that was the case over the weekend. A few sea mullet and lots of skate were caught plus fair numbers of Spanish mackerel and taylor blues in a brief period early and late in the day. Water temperature at pierside was 68 degrees on Tuesday. Sandbridge - Again, SW winds made for slow fishing. The pier spokesman knew only of a handful of pan trout and some sea mullet that were caught in the past several days.
