Any Newport News VA guys/gals in here?
It is shallow, but hey bass love shallow. And there are tons of lilly pads when the weather warms, and they are fun to fish with a frog or some such

Back Bay Va Bch
The feeder creeks that run into Back Bay produce pretty well, I fish them in my kayak quite a bit. The Northern part of the bay is where I have done the best, but I've only lived here a year so who knows. I do know that the grass is making a come back and that the fish and game guys just released a bunch of bass into the bay so lets hope things start taking off.

North Landing River fishing Question...Va. Beach
I fish all up and down the north landing from my kayak. I moved to the area last year and am still getting to know the water, but I can tell you that the river is pretty shallow(no prob for a kayak) and the best luck I have had is fishing soft plastics in the cypress knees.

1st topwater fish of the year
I had a couple of hours before I had to go to work this afternoon and decided to take a quick trip to my local honey hole. There is a storm front moving in so it was warm, cloudy, and windy. I had one monster of a fish shake the hook on a shakey head, and then caught this nice fish on my topwater fave a silver and black chug bug.

Finally!!!
Finally after a long winte,r a bass. Not a beast by any means, but a bass none the less. My wife and I both had the day off today, and she decided she wanted to try and go fishing with me. We went to a local pond and I caught this little bass on a wacky rigged senko. my wife hooked into her first bass ever, she did a pretty good job of fighting him but he shook the hook on her. by the time we were ready to head out and get some grub she was the one who kept saying "one more cast". that alone made it a awesome day.

strangest things caught?
I've caught ducks, turtles, a seagull, and a bat on a topwater once. But the funniest by far was a glove that I caught by ( you guessed it) the middle finger, it was hilarious. my brother and I laughed for a good ten minutes.

Best and hardest fight you EVER had with a fish?
Best I fight I everhad was yesterday believe it or not. I was fishing for LMBs at a local lake that runs buy some houses. I had caught 5 or 6 bass in about an hour and was having a great time. The fish came on a combo of a 1/8oz spot remover w/ a 4" roboworm and a 3/8 oz chug bug. I saw a big swirl and chucked the chug bug out after a few feet it got engulfed and i almost crapped myself at the sight of the fish. I had on 12lb floro which in most cases would be pleanty. After about 10 min and a few awesome runs I landed about a 17- 20 lb striper. and of course didnt have my camera, but it was a great even so. P.S hey steven this is joe from east lake but i live in virginia beach now, just thought I'd say hi

Nice topwater outing
Went out to beat the banks this evening after work for about an hour in hopes of catching a few topwater bass. I was not disappointed. The weather this week has just been great, nice and cool finaly. I caught these 4 fish on a silver and black chug bug, nothing beats a nice topwater bite

New Kayak
Well I just moved out here to Virginia Beach last month from San Diego, and have been dying to get a new Kayak. So last week I went down to a local shop and bought a Manta Ray 12. I've been out about 4 times and am loving it. I've managed to catch a few fish on each outing but my cameras batteries were dead. I finaly got some new batteries and went out today, and of course caught no fish worth photographing. but i did take a pic of my boat and a family of otters I saw playing in the river. I was pretty cool. I there is any one in the area who would like to go out fishing just let me know, I'd be glad to learn from a local.

619Bassman Moving to 757
Hey Guys I'm From San Diego as my name denotes, but I just got married and am moving out to VA Beach this week. My mom lived in Suffolk when I was a kid so I know the area a little bit, but any help or friendly faces would be appreciated. I am a bit spoiled with the size of the bass out here but am super stoked about all the fishable water out that way. Here there are some great bodies of water but they are few and far between, but out there you guys have more lakes, creeks, and rivers than you can shake a stick at. Well I just thought I would introduce myself and say hi to yall here in the southeast division. Youll be seeing more of me shortly
