Va Beach Offshore Fishing, Virginia Sportfishing

• Season - Late May through October
• Available only in full day offshore trips

During the Summer, Virginia offshore sport fishing is exceptional with multiple sportfishing species available for the patient angler. The best Virginia Beach sportfishing starts at the end of May when bluefin and yellowfin tuna show up.

Their numbers will increase through June along with occasional catches of mako sharks and eventually the bluefins will continue on their migration to the north. The yellowfins will stay here and provide entertainment all the way though the end of October and sometimes into November. Virginia Beach sport fishing offers a relatively long and productive offshore fishing season which is why the region is so popular to anglers.

In July, dolphin (mahi-mahi) will show up in incredible numbers and as the waters warm, we will see our first wahoos, white marlin, blue marlin, and sailfish show up in the Va Beach sport fishing region. These fish will continue biting through September with the prime time on billfish being around the last full moon of August or first full moon of September.

Any day of offshore trolling you never know what you are going to catch but chances are its going to be something big. On these trips, anglers enjoy strapping into the chair and battling with the biggest and meanest fish the Virginia Beach fishing grounds have to offer!

Virginia Beach Swordfishing Trips

• Season- Year round
• Available only for overnight trips

In Virginia we have a very under-utilized sword fishery. Though very few anglers take part in our swordfish fishery, we have incredible sword fishing in Virginia. The best sword fishing of the season takes place from early October to January here, and its not at all uncommon to catch several swordfish per night. Though the peak of the season is in the fall, when waters are right in the canyons, swordfish can be caught year round off the coast of Virginia.

These trips are normally very productive and offer anglers a chance to see a part of the ocean rarely seen. The ocean transforms itself at night and offers up one of its rarest, toughest, and most beautiful species in the swordfish.

These trips prove to be very productive with trolling for tunas, marlin, mahi-mahi, and wahoo taking place in the late evening and early morning and sword fishing - which often yields swords, large sharks, and tunas - taking place all throughout the dark hours. An overnight trip is the longest and most expensive trip we offer, however these trips are an incredible experience and any angler who has done one will tell you there is nothing like it and will probably tell you that they can't wait until their chance to go again.
