1-12-07, CBBT (VA Beach) report

I was invited by Rob Allen (NoVA CCA) to go fishing down at the CBBT in VA Beach and there was no way I could miss it. We booked a last minute charter with Capt. "Walleye" Pete Dahlberg and agreed to meet at the ramp at Kiptopeake at 2:30 PM. By 3:00 PM we were fishing...and oh did we fish.

I started out casting Rebel Jointed Spoonbills and boy, did I get a weird look from Rob and Pete. They were nor used to seeing this kind of a lure in salt water. I got a weirder look when I started catching fish...lots of them. I was using a 7' St. Croix Premier casting stick with an Abu Garcia 5500C3 reel filled with 12 lb. mono.

They were jigging Bass Assassins.....

Rob was using a St. Croix Tidemaster spinning rod.

We knew that we didn't have long to fish so we worked hard and by the time it was all over, we had caught 100 stripers.....

The neat part of the trip was fishing the bridge pilings in the evening. We were catching nice fish until Rob figured out that there were bigger fish under the lights from the bridge. For the 30 minutes before we went in, we caught many 30" fish. The big one for the evening was 38" (Rob had the honor).

I even managed a fat nighttime stripie!

We caught very few fish were under 20".

Finally Capt. Pete said he needed to call it a day since he had been fishing since dawn. He is a class act and a great guide. If you want to hire him, go to his website at: http://www.fourseasonsguideservice.com/

This was an outstanding trip…great company!
