VA Chesapeake Bay Striper Striped Bass Fishing Charter: Put Adventure Into Your Fishing Trip This Striper Season

By Howard Murral


Virginia Beach is a large resort city located at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. As a prime fishing area for both ocean and bay fish, a day spent on a Virginia Beach fishing charter boat is an adventure within an adventure. If you enjoy ocean fishing, every season of the year offers the opportunity for prime catches of salt-water fish and sport fish.

One of the first things to check before choosing your charter boat and crew is the expertise of the captain and crew. The captain should be aware of the fishing reports for the area and get you to the place where you can participate in some good catches. Of course, you may find that just being on the open water is enjoyable too.

You can find wonderful fishing opportunities during the entire calendar year in the waters near Virginia Beach. There are bluefish and flounders nearby and the captain and crew can help you get to where the fish are. If you have special needs or want to go after a certain type of fish, be sure to let the charter boat people know everything necessary to provide you with a wonderful fishing experience.

The most well-known summer fish is the tuna. They are found in the deep waters of the ocean and are also found closer to the coastline during the fall months of the year. Charter fishing vessels nowadays have modern technology to help in the search for tuna. The captain can access satellite shots to actually see where the tuna are swimming. Charter fishing can so bring in sharks, trout and marlin.

During the winter season, you can take a charter fishing trip and go after the twenty to fifty pound striped bass that frequent the southern part of the coast. In December, charter boats will take you to the area around the Bay Bridge Tunnel on the lower part of Chesapeake Bay, where you can fish for trophy sized stripers. In January and February, many of the charters move into Atlantic Ocean waters, still after the big striped bass.

The length of your charter trip is adjustable. Most commonly, trips last for half days, full days or overnight in some boat accommodations. Charter boats usually provide all the needed equipment for a successful fishing trip. The price of your accommodations will vary depending on how long the trip lasts, how experienced the captain and crew are, the distance the boat must travel to get you to good fishing water and what type of fish you are hoping for.

All reputable businesses, including charter boats need licenses, credentials, inspections in place and accurate. The safety equipment must be readily available and in sufficient supply to equip all members of the passengers and crew. The success of the trip will be due to a good catch of fish, but also to the enthusiasm and support of the staff.

With Virginia Beach fishing charter trips, you can expect care and concern on the part of the charter crew and captain. Whether your charter trip is the only one you ever planned or an annual event in your life, each trip should be memorable.
