Rock and Drum from the surf

08 May Rock and Drum from the surf

May 6th 2015

 

It is trophy rockfish season in Virginia from May 1st -15th.  During this time they raise the limit to 36″ for the length of a striped bass to be a keeper.  This is when they run in the surf though, so you have to try!

 

I always hit the beach at low water, fish the first of incoming.  Try to time that in morning or evening and it should be productive.

 

We caught 5 rockfish and 5 black drum this trip.  Also caught 2 dogfish and 2 stingrays.  I cleaned one of the dogfish, they are good to eat (called steakfish)

 

So here is the video of the trip, enjoy!
