The Rockfish Season around Norfolk and Va Beach this time of the year is generally good or it can be a hit and miss proposition due to the weather patterns - wind, rain, snow and the like. Some times it seems like a "Catch'em when you Can" month!
Despite this, we have had several fun, successful trips! Throughout the month, Team ReelTime ran both Bay Catch and Release trips and Ocean "Catch and Keep" Trips. Here are a few pictures and highlights:
Above: Team ReelTime USCG Captain, Morale Officer and Chief of Angling Logistics, Capt Fletcher Dunton with two Nice Fat "BIG BONED" ROCKFISH Caught off of Va. Beach near the Ocean Front.

This one was caught in the Ocean, 2 miles off of the Ramada in 45 feet of H20 around sunset.
Outstanding Job and W.T.G, Carl !!!
