Fishing Hampton Roads (Sewells Point)

Virginia Beach, Lynnhaven and Rudee inlets and the famous Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, where the bay meets the ocean.

What's biting now (Fall): Striped bass, speckled trout and red drum around the Bay Bridge-Tunnel and inlets; tautog move onto structure.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, speckled trout, red drum, flounder, cobia, sheepshead and tautog.

Also caught here: croaker, cobia, sheepshead, tautog, Spanish mackerel.

Piers put you over deeper water without a boat. Fish the pilings for sheepshead and snapper, and cast out from the end for mackerel and pompano when they run. Many Florida piers sell a license that covers everyone fishing from that pier.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
