The fish Virginia Beach anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Virginia Beach sits at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is one of the most famous striped-bass structures on the East Coast — its pilings and rubble hold trophy stripers through the cold months. Summer brings a strong sight-cast cobia fishery off the oceanfront and big red drum to the bay shoals. Flounder work the inlets and the CBBT islands, and the bluewater canyons off the coast deliver tuna and billfish for the offshore fleet.
