At Matador Charters, we have fished several inshore fishing trips from Virginia beach this weekend. The inshore charter fishing remains very good with plenty of bluefish and some really nice flounder around Rudee inlet. There have also been plenty of red drum and black drum at the mouth of the Chesapeake bay.

It has been a very strange week for weather in Virginia Beach and we have had a very early season tropical storm to our south for several days. Early this week we will feel the impact of that storm in Virginia Beach and we will not be charter fishing until after the storm passes.

Next friday is the first day of sea bass season and hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will be able to get out and do some fishing. We have several offshore fishing trips booked out of Virginia Beach for next weekend and look forward to the chance to get out and go fishing.

On sunday, we had a gorgeous forecast in Virginia Beach and took the chance to take a deep drop fishing trip out to the Norfolk Canyon. We had no wind, sunny skies, calm seas, and 63 degree water in the canyon. There was quite a bit of current from the full moon which made it difficult to fish in the really deep stuff but we still scratched out a nice catch out there. We caught all sorts of fish deep dropping and came home with a nice catch of red bellied rose fish, hake, 2 golden tilefish up to 35 pounds, a limit of blueline tilefish to 14 pounds, a 39 inch bluefish, several 100# class seven gill sharks, and a 7 foot blue shark. We had a really nice grouper hooked up but it managed to get back down into the rocks and pulled off. We caught fish all day long and everyone got to catch a nice fish. Great day fishing. We have plenty of dates available for a deep drop charter out of rudee inlet so give me a call at 7577496008 and we will get your trip booked.
