Virginia Virginia anglers are blessed with waters that hold stripers, red and black drum, and cobia. Miles of fishable beaches and plenty of piers make the mouth of the Chesapeake the place where northern and southern fish meet.

Fishing report - Saturday night - End of OV / Begin Willoughby Beach

Fished Saturday evening / night @ end of OV off the beach...

Plenty of croaker, few spot, flounders being brought up but <19" (Most of them ranging about 11-14")

Used:

Squid
Shrimp
Bag O Worms Fishbites
Camo Gulp Sandworms

On:

Standard Bottom Rigs
Flounder Rig
Fishfinder Rig

Tide:

High tide, outgoing

Threw in squid on a bottom rig and brought back a weird brown fish, bout the size of a large minnow... somehow or another my circle hook got him as if I put a minnow on my hook through the back. Eyes were a rainbow color, had some spikey like fins on him, rough skin but no real scales, could not tell what it was, not sure how big a fresh baby cobia is, but i'm thinking of was a grouper or puffer fish.. any thoughts? I was going to snap a picture but electronics and salt water don't get along =]

Anyways, I need to do some fishing here soon so i'll be doing more reports...

My guess would be sea bass also.

Aint too many grouper up there.. especially ones to be confussed with a puffer.

Some folks eat them. And I believe they can be used as bait.
