Fishing has been slower during the day, and much better at night. They have still been getting the nice-sized Roundhead, as well as some pan-sized Spot, and a handfull of Croaker. Your best bets for bait are Bloodworms, Bloodworm Fish Bites, and/or Squid.
Crabs are biting and we would say the catch has been okay. They are the average size you would expect for early in the season; the water is still a little cool.
VMRC Regulation Cards have not yet been issued this year. Please read the regulations online:
WE ARE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK!
The pier is only open up to the "T." PLEASE DO NOT PASS THE BARRICADE RAILING! It is for your safety.
Just a reminder to everyone that WE DO NOT GIVE OUT INDIVIDUAL FISHING REPORTS VIA MESSENGER on Facebook. Please continue to check our website and Facebook Newsfeed; if our report is not up to date enough for you, please feel free to call for the latest fishing report 757-481-7071. (New reports may not be posted on Sundays and Mondays because tech support is not available.)
