kayak fishing in VA Beach

[Rob Shane]

Heading down for the first 4 days in October. Tides look decent. Hopefully see some fish moving. Anyone have any insight on a decent launch we should look for? I've read that Rudee Inlet and Lynnhaven Inlets are good places to start. Also the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Anything else out there in TPFRland that y'all think I should know before I go? Appreciate the help.

I live down here and fish a good amount. If I were you, I'd stick to Rudee Inlet or maybe consider launching out of the Narrows. Both should be fishing well. 

Launching out of crab creek in lynnhaven takes a bit too learn and can provide some unforgiving trips so I recommend avoiding that. 

If you fish rudee, I'd focus on 2 specific areas. The marsh area around the aquarium and launch as well as Lake Wesley. If you can bring 2 rods, bring a full sink with clousers as well as a floater with a cork / baitfish. Also, if you have lights and some spare time at night, there will be stripers under the lights once the sun sets. 

As far as the narrows, I would just launch out of the boat ramp and fish your way west focusing on the shoreline. Same rod set up as rudee but you would use the floater a lot more here. 

Good luck. That should be an awesome time to be here. Shoot me a PM if you have anymore questions. I'm happy to help.

Look up the Cory Routh book. An angler and a biologist. He knows the area better than most. And he took this video:
