New Jersey Tuna Fishing Charters
February 24th, 2010Virginia Beach – Virginia Saltwater Fishing Charters
February 7th, 2010
Inshore fishing on Virginia Beach charter boats may include trips for striped bass, sea bass, and both red and black drum while offshore fishing charters target tuna, sharks, dolphin, billfish and other species. The area is world famous for its saltwater fishing.
One well known fisherman is Captain Keith Harlan who fishes the Mega Bite out of Virginia Beach. He has fished local waters from the Eastern Shore, Chesapeake Bay, and Virginia Beach to Cape Hatteras for over 30 years. Captain Keith’s vast fishing experience also includes the waters of Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Bermuda, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Key West.
In the summer months, offshore fishing from Virginia Beach is excellent. Captain Keith described Virginia offshore fishing saying, “Nothing is etched in stone with fishing around here but chasing yellowfin tuna thru much of the summer is our main activity”. These tuna like deeper water for the most part, often being caught in water from 30 to 100 fathoms. “We watch the satellite shots to get a general idea of how far north or south the tuna are” explained the Captain. Fishing spots include the Norfolk Canyon, Cigar, Weather Buoy, Wayne’s World and others. These hotspots range up to 75 miles out of Rudee Inlet. In addition to yellowfin tuna, anglers catch bluefin, bigeye, skipjack and longfin albacore tuna, dolphin fish, wahoo, billfish and sharks.
Of interest to many anglers are the trips that reach the Norfolk Canyon. Just before reaching the canyon walls are slopes that are often very productive areas. Near the canyon walls, the bottom becomes steeper and rockier. Fish congregate along the drop offs to catch food that is caught in the hard running current. Along the edges are lobster traps which are marked by orange buoys or “lobster balls”. The buoys attract dolphin fish which in turn attract the larger marlin, swordfish and sharks which feed on them heavily. A trip by a buoy can be uneventful, or one or more lines might be attacked by mahi mahi, tuna, marlin or other fish.
Late August and September often feature the best fishing with anglers seeing larger numbers of tuna as well as an influx of wahoo and bull dolphin. Offshore fishing continues into October, when windy weather and falling water temperatures make fishing less productive.
After the offshore season winds down, Virginia anglers enjoy excellent striped bass fishing. Known locally as rockfish, these delicious fish migrate down the East Coast and congregate in the lower Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters from November thru March. Anglers sometimes catch monster rockfish, exceeding 50 lbs. The Virginia state record rockfish has been broken many times recently, with some of the biggest fish being caught out of Virginia Beach Virginia.
These beautiful gamefish love cold and windy weather and feed in immense schools along the coast. Local charter boat captains such as Captain Keith of the Mega Bite keep watch on local fishing and are usually able to find the fish reliably when a winter weather window of opportunity becomes available.

California Fishing – 5 Best Long Range Fishing Trips
January 22nd, 2010
Heading off to the sunny climes of California for a fishing trip, then why not considering making it longer that your chosen week-end fishing break: haul up the tinned food and build up your holiday fun with a long range fishing trip that lasts a few days and is sure to bring in the catches and tales to go with it too! Avid anglers are known to keep aside a couple of days at least while the experts or the hobbyist can well reserve a three week break to simply scout the best fishing holes spread out over varied locations and grounds through the year, but nothing beats the popularity of Coastal California?s fishing spots that beckon with their immense variety of aquatic life and scenic beach fronts!
Most avid anglers heading to California spread their fishing trip between 2 to 6 days and choose popular fishing holes located between 100 to 300 miles San Diego; this area lies around the coast of Baja California and other fishing hot-spots are situated along Cedros, San Martin, Guadalupe and San Benitos, the offshore islands here.
1. If setting your fishing sights on any of the above mentioned fisherman?s delights, you?d do well to focus on species like the Blue Fin, Yellow Fin and Big Eye Tuna; while the Albcore, Skipjack and Yellowtail are also easy to catch as much as the abundantly swimming Calico Bass species.
2. The more long range fishing trips offered in California are organized fro 8-12 days and move outwards of the San Diego port; thus giving a wider fishing area of 300 to 1000 miles south of San Diego, involving angling spots in Uncle Sam Bank, Alijos Rocks, Thetis Bank and the 23 Fathom. Apart from the above named fish species, ones you can hope to catch here include Dorado and the Wahoo.
3. The long range fishing trips you can best hope to gain your prize catches from are located between California and the Mexico area, but you?re advised to keep aside at least 3 weeks for this: stretching across the Baja coast and the islands of Revilla Gigedos, these trips will include Clarian, Socorro and San Benedicto and big-size catches of Yellowfin tuna (weighing 200 to over 300 lbs and Wahoo up to 100 lbs.) are a usual catch for lucky fisherman here! So, what?s stopping you from heading out to sunny California, eh?
4. While some people shrug off the idea of long range fishing trips as too much of an effort, others don?t mind it for the heady mix of exotic and big fish they can catch! While such a long range fishing trip continues aboard a special charter, you can store the catch under deck in chilled fish-holds to help them survive the journey to the port.
5. Priced around $200-$300 a day, inclusive of all meals, these long range fishing trips from California to Mexico area require you to pay fishing permit costs in Mexico waters and the added incentive is of unique tackle rentals offered for each length of trip you make.
