Came up to visit my girlfriend in Virgina Beach and her dad decided to take me out in the new boat(54hatteras). We went out around 130 and were done by 300, caught 9 total with 8 over 30 inches and one to small. The biggest came in at 37 and was 25lbs. It was awesome if you havent fished up here you need to make the trip it is well worth it!!
Don’t they have a one fish per person limit??

to hell with fishing. marry the girl so that we can all go fishing on the hatteras. i have friends that live in that area and they are always telling me about the large stripers in the bay. that has to be a lot of fun.
No they have a 2 per person limit and there were 5 of us on the boat. Whipping it was a big change from fishing in my 14ft malibu haha.
You’re lucky you didn’t get boarded by DNR, it’s a 2 fish limit, except from december 10 to december 31, when it’s only 1 fish. it’s awesome fishing for them up there though. congrats on all the fish
I used to fish a little, but a little wouldn’t do it, so a little got more and more
14’ of aluminum bolted to 15 horses!
We didnt do anything illegal we fished on the 5th, her dad doesnt know how to drive the boat yet and a charter captain took us out. The boat also has a sportsfishing license. But yeah it was awesome up there couldnt believe it when they said that was an average day.
Striper season in Virginia closed December 31.
So much water, So little time
At least inside the bay. I didn’t check the ocean regs

Again we didnt do anything illegal haha nice to see that atleast some people do care about regulations. Bay season closes but ocean opens and you can fish within 3 miles of the beach.
Ocean season is open. They are very serious about not crossing the line 3 miles offshore. Guess where most of the birds have been working the bait balls this year??? yep, about 3 1/4 miles off the beach.
