Fish Whisper Weekly Fishing Report: November 10, 2024

Greetings, fellow anglers! This week’s fishing report brings exciting news from various locations, with striped bass, red drum, speckled trout, and catfish taking center stage. Shark sightings have also added an extra thrill to recent outings. The fluctuating temperatures and wind conditions have presented some challenges, particularly for shore-based anglers, but those with boats or kayaks have found success in navigating these variables.

Pier Fishing Highlights

All piers along the coast have been productive, offering anglers opportunities to land speckled trout, drum, and bluefish. Shark encounters, while less frequent, have provided some memorable moments for lucky anglers. When fishing from piers, consider using live bait or artificial lures that mimic local baitfish for best results.

James River Report

The James River continues to be a hotspot for diverse catches. Anglers have reported success with catfish, striped bass (locally known as stripers), drum, and speckled trout. The river’s varied habitats, from deep channels to shallow flats, offer multiple fishing opportunities. Early mornings and late evenings have been particularly productive for striped bass.

Weather Impact on Fishing

The recent weather patterns have created both challenges and opportunities. While some days have been difficult due to strong winds, the changing conditions have also triggered feeding frenzies in certain areas. Anglers are advised to pay close attention to weather forecasts and plan their trips accordingly. Remember, adapting to conditions is key to successful fishing.

Looking Ahead

As we move further into November, we anticipate continued action for fall species. Keep an eye out for migrating striped bass, as their numbers typically increase this time of year. Additionally, bottom fishing for drum and flounder may improve as water temperatures stabilize.

This concludes our fishing report for the week. Here’s to hoping for even better fishing conditions in the coming days. Until next time, keep your lines tight and your spirits high!

Tight lines,

TJ

09-14-2024 Fishing Report

This week’s fishing report from Fish Whisper provides comprehensive information on current fishing conditions and species activity. As we enter mid-September, significant changes in fish behavior and migration patterns are evident. Notably, Cobia have concluded their season in local waters. Conversely, conditions for striped bass (stripers) are improving, and the drum run has commenced, particularly in river systems near the Green Mile Pier.

The forecast for the upcoming week indicates challenging weather conditions for most fishing activities. However, it’s important to note that certain species, such as drum and trout, often exhibit increased activity during periods of rain, wind, and unsettled conditions. This presents unique opportunities for anglers prepared to fish in adverse weather.

Fish Whisper emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and angler etiquette. Practicing responsible fishing techniques and showing consideration for fellow anglers, particularly in high-traffic areas like piers, contributes to a positive experience for all participants.

Detailed reports from popular fishing locations:

Locations:

• James River Pier: This location offers diverse fishing opportunities. Croakers and spot are abundant. Trout fishing has been productive, with both speckled and gray trout being caught. Bluefish are present, providing action for light tackle anglers. Flounder catches have decreased compared to earlier in the season. Striped bass landings indicate the beginning of their fall run. Drum, both red and black varieties, are increasing in frequency, particularly during early morning and late evening hours.
• Ocean View Pier: This pier has been highly productive. Spot and croakers are abundant. Spanish mackerel are running, offering fast-paced action for those using casting lures or trolling. Bluefish continue to be caught in significant numbers. White perch are found around the pier pilings. Puffer fish, while not typically targeted, are common. Several drum have been landed, indicating the progression of the fall drum run.
• James T. Wilson Fishing Pier: This pier has yielded a variety of species. Spot and croakers remain plentiful. Flounder fishing has been productive, especially with live bait or jigging techniques. Red drum have been caught, primarily during early morning or late evening tides. Roundhead (whiting) have been caught in significant numbers. Puffer fish continue to be a common catch.
• Fort Monroe Piers: Both piers have been productive. Bluefish are abundant, providing topwater action. Spot and croaker fishing remains steady. The roundhead (whiting) bite has been strong. Drum fishing has improved, with catches from both piers. Spanish mackerel have been caught by anglers casting lures or using small live baits.
• The Green Mile Pier: This location has offered excellent variety. Flounder fishing has been productive, with several keeper-sized fish reported. Spot and croakers are plentiful. Roundhead (whiting) have been biting well, especially during incoming tides. Striped bass (stripers) are increasing in number, indicating the beginning of their fall run. Drum fishing has been particularly successful, with both red and black drum being caught. Jigging techniques have proven effective for both drum and flounder.

Looking ahead, the fall fishing season is expected to intensify. The drum run is anticipated to increase in activity, and striped bass numbers are likely to rise as water temperatures decrease. While weather conditions may present challenges, they also create opportunities for anglers willing to adapt their techniques and target species that thrive in these conditions.

Fish Whisper encourages community engagement through the sharing of fishing experiences, tips, and photographs on the Message Board. This collective knowledge contributes to the overall understanding of local fishing conditions and techniques.

Anglers are reminded to prioritize safety, respect the environment, and appreciate the multifaceted experience that fishing provides.

This week’s report highlights an increase in drum and trout catches, continuing the trend we’ve seen in recent weeks. Let’s dive into the details of what’s biting and where.

The James River Pier continues to be a hotspot for a variety of species. Anglers are reporting steady catches of croakers, roundheads, and spot.

When fishing for Spanish mackerel or bluefish, fast-moving lures or spoons retrieved quickly near the surface can trigger strikes. Flounder anglers are finding success with both live bait and artificial lures, with a slow, bottom-bouncing retrieve often proving effective.

Environmental Considerations

As responsible anglers, it’s crucial that we remain mindful of our impact on the aquatic environment. Practice catch and release when appropriate, and always adhere to local regulations regarding size and bag limits. Remember to properly dispose of any fishing line or other waste to keep our fishing spots clean and safe for both wildlife and fellow anglers.

Fishing Report

08-02-2024

Hey there, fellow anglers! The fish are still biting, and we’ve got the scoop on when and where to cast your line. Early mornings and just before sunset continue to be prime fishing times, with night fishing also proving fruitful for those willing to brave the darkness.

Spadefish have been making quite a splash lately, and even some of our bottom-dwelling friends are getting in on the action. If you’ve been frequenting the piers, you’ll find that the catch has remained relatively consistent with what we’ve seen in recent weeks.

The real stars of the show right now are quite the diverse bunch. Cobia, flounder, and trout are keeping things interesting, while spot and croaker are making appearances too. Spanish mackerel are darting through the waters, and let’s not forget about the spades, perch, and sea bass that are all the rage among local fishermen.

Looking ahead, we’re crossing our fingers that by mid-August, we’ll see some growth in the spot and croaker populations. It’s always exciting when these fish start to size up a bit, offering more of a challenge and a better catch.

Now, here’s something to keep an eye on: we’ve received reports of omega being spotted off Ocean View this week. While it’s an interesting development, it could potentially throw a wrench in our plans for striped bass and other fall fishing favorites. We’ll be monitoring this situation closely and keeping you updated on any impacts it might have on our autumn angling adventures.

As we wrap up this week’s report, let’s all hope for some stellar weather and even better fishing conditions in the days to come. Remember, every cast is an opportunity for a great story, so get out there and make some memories!

Until next week, tight lines and smooth sailing, folks!

07-26-2024

Hey there, fellow anglers! It seems the fish are biting best in the early mornings, just before dusk, and during those mysterious night hours. Nature’s putting on quite a show this week with storms and showers in the forecast. Stay dry out there, friends, and remember – a little rain never stopped a determined angler. Keep those lines taut and your spirits high!

Let’s dive into our weekly catch report:

James River Pier: The usual suspects are making appearances – spot, croakers, and sea bass. But don’t overlook the perch and flounder. Oh, and watch out for those pesky little oyster toads – they’re small but feisty!

James T Wilson: This spot’s been buzzing with activity! Anglers are reeling in spot, croakers, and Spanish mackerel. Cobia are still hanging around, much to everyone’s delight. You might also encounter drum, trout, perch, flounder, blues, and even some small seabass. For the thrill-seekers, there are reports of small sharks. And if you’re feeling lucky, try your hand at crabbing!

Fort Monroe Piers: The lineup here is impressive – spot, croakers, Spanish mackerel, drum, trout, perch, flounder, blues, and those ever-present small sea bass. It’s like a underwater buffet out there!

The Green Mile Pier: This stretch is living up to its name with a green light for spot, croakers, puppy drum, trout, flounder, blues, and small sea bass. It’s a great spot for anglers of all levels.

Ocean View Pier: If variety is the spice of life, then Ocean View is serving up a feast! Spot, croakers, Spanish mackerel, cobia, trout, perch, flounder, blues, small sea bass – you name it, they’ve got it. And for those seeking a bit more excitement, there are skates and sharks in the mix too.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Isn’t this the same report as last week?” Well, yes and no. While the cast of characters might be familiar, each day on the water brings its own unique adventure. The fishing scene is red hot right now, but success favors those who know the when, where, and how.

So gear up, stay safe, and make the most of your weekend on the water. Remember, every cast is a new opportunity for that big catch. Tight lines, everyone!

“Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.” – Fish Whisper

Weekly Fishing Report: 05-31-2024

Welcome to this week’s Fish Whisper fishing report. As we navigate through the unpredictable spring fronts, the water temperatures have danced around the low 70s. This has created a dynamic environment for our local species, leading to varying fishing conditions across our favorite spots.

Local Waterways Overview

In the winding creeks and back rivers, the drum have been a consistent catch, using live bait on the bottom has proven most effective. Speckled trout have been hitting soft plastics, with the occasional striper making a surprise appearance for those fishing with cut bait during the twilight hours.

James River Pier Report

The bustling activity at James River Pier has been a delight for anglers targeting bottom feeders. A medley of croakers, roundheads, and spot trout have been keeping lines tight, with the occasional bluefish cutting through the calm waters. Flounder enthusiasts have been rewarded with some keepers, using minnows and squid as bait, particularly around the pilings where these flatfish prefer to ambush prey.

Ocean View Pier Highlights

As the season heats up, so does the action at Ocean View Pier. Anglers casting for cobia and Spanish mackerel have reported success, especially when using brightly colored jigs. While blues and drum continue their steady presence, the spots, croaker, and roundheads have been of smaller stature, perfect for young anglers looking to hone their skills.

James T Wilson Pier Insights

With cobia catch-and-release in full effect until mid-June, anglers have been practicing their sight-fishing techniques, anticipating the opening of the season. Big blues have been spotted off the end of the pier, providing a thrilling challenge for those equipped with heavier tackle. The area has been a hotspot for diverse catches, including drum, speckled trout, and even small sea bass and perch.

Fort Monroe Piers Tips

Fort Monroe Piers have been a treasure trove for those seeking variety. Anglers focusing on the rocky structures and close-to-shore areas have found the best results, with catches of spot croaker, drum, speckled and grey trout, and the occasional striper. Light tackle and patience have been key in these areas, as the fish tend to be more skittish.

Fishing Tips and Tricks

As we look forward to more stable weather patterns, here are a few tips to maximize your chances on the water:

• Understand the Tides: Fish activity often increases during the transition from high to low tide. Plan your trips accordingly.
• Check the Weather: Barometric pressure changes can affect fish behavior. A falling pressure usually means more active fish.
• Keep a Journal: Document your catches, including time, location, weather, and bait used. Patterns will emerge that can inform future trips.

Remember, a day on the water is about more than just the catch—it’s about the adventure, the connection, and the stories you’ll share. Stay respectful of other anglers and our aquatic friends, and don’t forget to join the conversation on our Message Board or share your adventures in our Video Library.

Tight lines and happy fishing!
