Enjoy Cold Weather Fishing
In a previous post, I briefly described our fishing trip in Hampton Virginia.
The day was extremely cold. Most times when fishing, it’s the angler who has a tougher time than the prey. But with a little preparation the day can be an enjoyable experience regardless of the season.
When fishing in cold weather, remember that you must keep your head, hands and feet warm. Maintaining warmth in these spots will give you the best opportunity for success.
One of the best ways to keep warm is to keep chemical warmers in your tackle box.
One of the best items to help keep you warm is to have several chemical warmers in your tackle box.
I always purchase three large packages (six warming pads in each) each fall. They have a one year shelf life but mine are used way before the spring.
So to make a cold trip enjoyable, don’t forget the three cold spots – heads, hands and feet.
Rockfish in Tidewater
On December 4, the first mate and I ventured to Hampton Virginia for a day on the Chesapeake Bay Rockfishing.
The day was clear, breezy and cold.
We joined many friends from my real job and had a blast. We caught over 50 rockfish that ranged from 20″ to 27″ at and around the 3rd and 4th islands of the CBBT.
For a great inexpensive fishing experience, definitely seek the Ocean Eagle on the Hampton waterfront. You will not be disappointed.
