Posted on 02/15/2015
A Virginia Marine Police sting early Saturday morning netted two men accused of poaching hundreds, or possibly thousands, of protected fish (red drum and speckled trout) from a Hampton Roads waterway.

If you and a couple of fellow Anglers can gather your scales together and come up with a group of scales for early certification, then please contact Ryan.

Posted on 01/19/2015
Andrew Campbell won the 17 day-long December Striper Tournament with a 12-6 striper on 8 # fly as a points entry worth 206 points. Andrew spent four skunk-accompanied days in the lower bay looking for stripers. Finally, he got word that the fish were further up in the bay and that is where he caught his winning entry.
