Gone Fish’n, Gasp’n, And Fun’n!

Capt Fisher takes us out 7 AM

Yesterday and today its like a perfect summer day here in Virginia. 75 yesterday and 80 today. So, I followed my own advice and left work, and headed to the water. Jimmy had planned a large fishing trip, and it seemed like the perfect way to spend a day. And man oh man, it sure delivered. Sorry no classic boats today, just classic fun with a fun group of people. BTW, the Boatress LOVES fishing. So today she had to enjoy the company of 14 fishing buddies.

The Gang headed out

Past The Pride Of Virginia Seafood

“The Stack” A Reedville landmark, this is the second largest fishing port in the US. A very rich history of fishing and is still a working fishing village

Going by the Omega plant

Dr Lewis’s amazing land mark dock. This is the mouth of the Great Wicomico River. Ingrem Bay.

it’s never to early to start eating the home made potato chips

Or other stuff. The breakfast of champions

Morning sky!

Others heading out to the Chesapeake Bay

Headed into some fishing. The fish were jumping

The Omega folks headed out as well.

Fishing Buddies

There is a fleet of Omega Protein boats. Several headed out durring the morning. This has been a tradition in Reedville for over 100 years. At one time boasting over 13 Fish Factories.

Our host, Jimmy who is now fully bearded.

Everyone having fun on a beautiful day

The Boatress of course was giving everyone a run for there money and can dish the crap right back!

A huge thanks to Jimmy for organizing the trip with Capt Fisher and his first mate Mark. The boat is amazing, and very well run. So how did we do? Well, we hit our limit of Blue Fish. And came short on Rockfish. The large ones are in the creeks. We are catching those off the dock. But man oh man the Blue Fish are a fun fight and taste like Butta!

Fish tonight, fish for breakfast, fish sticks, fish desert, fish snacks, fish fries, fish cocktails.

    Yes plenty of blues around here also., along with albies, a blast from the kayak. The big rockfish ( we call them stripers) are still up in RI for us as the water is just starting to cool.
