Fishing locations in Virginia

[Alley]

Recently moved to Virginia and was trying to find spots to fish at when the time comes. Figured since I love this site since it has loads of info. I would start here first.

Virgina Beach or the Bay Bridge. Lake Gaston on the NC/VA border for some freshwater species.

Not sure where. But I hear Blackfishing in Va is insane.

Good luck.

I am actually located in Fisherville Virginia. Which is more to the west side of Virginia up in the mountains.Finding out fishing information for New Jersey was made easy by being informed about this site.

I now live in NC, but lived in the area of the Shenandoah Valley area for three years.....  I'll give you run down on your options.....  Off to your west in Franklin, WV there use to be great trout river this was about 15 years ago.  to your south you have smith mountain lake with fresh water stripers, mostly caught slow trolling live bait in spring and summer, trolling small u-rigs and 6 inch swim shads (with inline planer boards) will produce striper in the fall. I highly suggest fishing a striper club on SML and hire a couple of guides on SML.  To your east, you have the ches bay;  your smorgasboard for flounder, striper, taug, cobia, spade fish, and striper.  Hope this helps....

Fellinger: I think Rod should(hint hint). I actually type in vasaltwaterfisherman.com in hopes there might be one but no luck.Thanks GH Lures for the information. It's a good start.

The Bay Bridge Tunnel system has a fantastic fishing pier close to the Va. side that is 3 miles out into the bay.  You can catch just about anything out there just check the seasons.

There are cleaning stations on the pier and if you forgot your bait you can purchase some there as well.  I would suggest you bring your own though.

Happy Catching
