VDGIF is hosting a meeting at Gander Outdoors, Tuesday, June 12th, at 6PM to discuss the largemouth bass fishery on the Rappahannock River. Anyone that is interested may attend.

Potomac River--Bass fishing and snakehead fishing has been pretty good on the grassy flats. Water for bowfishing is murky but still fairly fishable. Look for hits on poppers, frogs and weedless baits.
Catfish are hitting everywhere on all kinds of baits.
Aqua Land Marina at the 301 Bridge is reporting plenty of catfish but they have not seen any croaker yet. They are renting skiffs and jon boats. They are open 7-7 every day of the week.

Rappahannock River--The river in town has been unfishable for two weeks it seems. Once it settles the catfish bite will be on for sure.


Saltwater--Garrett's Marina in Tappahannock reports a rare few croaker hitting. However, the catfish bite is spectacular. Louis told us that some spot showed up in Urbanna already which is early.
Cobia fishing near Cape Charles has been good as has red drum fishing. The red drum are on the shoals. The cobia are also in the bay now and along the VA Beach Oceanfront. Some Spanish are on the oceanfront now and some have been sneaking into the bay too.
Spades in the 1-5 pound class are making a good showing on structure in the bay and ocean. Offshore the tuna bite finally took off. Plenty of sharks out there too. Some nice Mahi are also being caught on Capt. Ryan's Midnight Sun Charters.
