Dude, that was a beautiful day of fishing from the North end of the bridge. You gave me lots of good ideas.

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzread.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

hey just wanted to say your a great fisherman and have some great gear keep up the good work 👍

I think it’s so cool how curious those fish are

Definitely challenging! In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have attempted that without a backup drive system or trolling motor with me. But in the worst case scenario, I just would have been embarrassed and had to get someone to tow me back in, that's why we picked a pretty day!

That's cool, what time of year and where do you launch from? I've kayak fished at multi peaks many time, caught sheep's there in the fall, but that's too far run to the bridge.

I'm guessing you never ate an oyster toad fish. Delicious fish.

Is this late August? Think I saw you out there!

One thing I noticed when fishing that current is to let the line out in 10’ increments. If you try to do it all at once it will sweep out. A little bit at a time and on the eddy side and you can get 3/4 oz down there. With too heavy of weight I’m not sure how well you could feel the bite. But I’m no expert

As a teenager we lived on the northern terminus of the bay Bridge. Was an old radar site and now is a bird refuge?

Nice video, question I moved to VA from Florida over 3 years ago and haven’t attempted to fish since moving here. Since watching your video I’m going to take some days off and make the two hour drive from Woodbridge and try my luck there, would like to know what you use to catch cobias?

Cobias are pretty easy, hardest part is getting around one. My best recommendation would be to fish from Buckroe Pier if you are boatless. Easier to get one there than kayak.

Be careful if you go. You can get in trouble in a hurry out there, what we did was only possible because of a weather window combined with the tide change lining up at the right time of day. I had 30lb braid on the spinning rod I targeted the sheepshead with.

We put in at Fisherman's Island. Most people fish the other side of the bridge which is what I would recommend. Pretty dangerous to do what we did IMO, we had the perfect conditions for it and even that was challenging.

Don’t feel he littered, or did so intentionally. If he didn’t care, wouldn’t have crushed the air out the bottle, twist the cap air-tight; to mitigate any chance wind or whatever displacement into the water. I hate people trashing our resources, don’t think this was one of those cases. IMO
