Virginia beach offshore fishing charter boat report

On Monday, we had an offshore fishing charter out of Virginia Beach and we were going to go deep dropping. The weather was great and we got an early start out of rudee inlet. We arrived at the fishing grounds at the norfolk canyon after seeing some bluefin tuna on the fingers area inshore of the norfolk canyon. We put a bait n the water very quickly to try to catch a tuna but we didnt wast emuch time with it. These were very small tunas and they were moving very quickly. Our target for the day was deep drop species, and as soon as we arrived at the canyon, we started catching target species. We caught a limit of tilefish and about 40 jumbo sea bass pretty quickly, with a few citations in the mix. Then we went and looked around at a couple of deeper spots looking for golden tilefish and wreckfish. Within a few minutes we had 5 golden tilefish, 3 rosefish, and 3 wreckfish. The deep drop fishing in the norfolk canyon was very good and with the calm seas the drift was slow with little current. We pulled away from the deep stuff and spent a while trying to catch a shark, but we did not have any bites. All in all it was a great day of fishing and came back to Virginia Beach with a box full of big fish that are good to eat with a couple citation sized fish in the mix.
