Tautog
March
Temperatures finally start to rise into the mid 60s by the end of the month. This is perfect weather to get you hooked up on some Striped Bass, Seabass, Tautog and Speckled Trout.
April - As temperatures start to transition into spring, so does the fishing. Yellowfin Tuna start to appear offshore, with Bluefin, Bigeye and Mahi Mahi hot on their heels. Inshore, Black Drum and Speckled Trout are biting.
May - Spring is definitely here, and peak fishing season starts. Everything is biting from now through October. Look out for big Red Drum and Black Drum in the Chesapeake Bay or large schools of Yellowfin tuna and Mahi Mahi offshore of Virginia Beach.
Cobia
June - Cobia start to invade the Chesapeake Bay, making for excellent sight fishing through September. As well as Yellowfin, offshore trips target Bigeye and Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi and White Marlin.
July - Summer fishing continues to bring in big pelagics offshore like White and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Tuna and Virginia Beach charter fishing is the perfect way to have fun and escape the crowds in peak season.
August
White Marlin, Mahi Mahi and Wahoo fishing is better than ever, while Blue Marlin remains excellent. The Virginia Beach Billfish Tournament makes the most of the bite. Closer to shore, catch Red Drum and Cobia.
Yellowfin Tuna
September - Temperatures cool and the crowds disperse. And while hotel prices might drop, the fishing doesn't. This is peak season for Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna. Big Red Drum and Speckled Trout are the talk of the town inshore.
October - October is most certainly fall, and you will find the cooler temperatures agree. But if fall means one thing in Virginia Beach, it is Stripers. The best thing is, most of the summer species are still around, too.
November - Along with Stripers, November means fishing for Speckled Trout, Tautog, Flounder, and Sea Bass. Offshore, Yellowfin Tuna is still going strong, and the occasional Bluefin Tuna may even come in close to shore.
Striped Bass
December - Only the hardiest of fish remain in Virginia Beach in the winter. But hey, what does that matter when Rockfish, Tautog and Seabass is as hardy as they come? A festive meal of big Striped Bass never hurt anyone.
January - Striped Bass is in full swing in Virginia Beach. This is peak season for catching a 'Rockfish,' the local name for the Chesapeake Bay's favorite fish. Don't forget about Tautog and Black Seabass.
Also... Look for migrating Humpback Whales during your trip!
February - Bass fishing continues to light up the Chesapeake Bay. Bring in these hard-fighting fish until your arms hurt. This will warm you up regardless of what the grim February weather throws at you.
