- These are GENERAL FISHING REGIONS and areas explained for Virginia Beach. We have been receiving a lot of requests for fishing locations in Virginia Beach so we decided to give you all some information on where are the general fishing areas and what type of fish you can expect to catch, and also with some tips on how to catch those fish!
Haters be warned: We are talking about general fishing areas and public fishing areas. These are not specific GPS coordinates but this is covering the regions/areas of Virginia Beach and it's awesome fisheries. This is information you can find at any tackle shop or article online.
Thank you to all for your support and input on our channel. We do this for ya'll and to help people catch fish. Please hit us up for any questions or tips, or even if you want to go fishing.
We are Jeff and Kristi Anderson and we are 1fish2fish
You should probably stop reading this and get out there and catch fish.
Just watched this for the first time, even though it’s 4 years old. Ingots tell you how proud I am to see another local sharing their passion for fishing with everyone and sharing the honey spots. Seriously, those haters can just lump it. It’s about friends and families sharing their fishing stories and there’s no better way than sharing what we know so they can hook up on some big ones! Oh, and thanks for all those tutorials. I’m in Great Bridge and live right off of Deepwater Rd. And put my kayak in right on the Elizabeth River, so you’ve really helped me learn techniques for my plastics and Mirolures.
Ya'll - Kristi and I seriously cannot thank ya'll enough for the support and comments. We will absolutely keep vids coming and WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS ON VIDS TO DO if there is any requests!!!
Stripers in the fly !!!!
Thanks for pointing out basic fishing locations for us outsiders to go and catch some fish. Y'all are great. Keep up the great work. Tight lines.
I’m laying in bed in my hotel room and came upon your video that answered all the questions I had about fishing this area. Came down here from Long Island to take my son to his new job with military sealift command and thought I would do a little fishing. Now I can put the phone down and go to sleep. Awesome
good info, but novice kayakers should not attempt to go too far out at the bridge tunnel, especially the 1st island. the currents out there are sometimes like white water rapids and pair that with any wind over 6 to 8 mph and you can have extrwmely dangerous conditions. us local kayakers recommend at least a full season of fishing the inlets and other spots before attempting the CBBT. if you do go, take a buddy and wear your pfd always
Im a new kayaker in the area and ive been sticking to the lynhavenn and rudee inlets for saltwater. The CBBT still intimidates me and used to ride bikes @ 170 mph lol. Even with a $1700 kayak im gonna keep the CBBT as my "next-step" in kayaking and will make sure im at least somewhat experienced before going out there, I hate being that noob guy at anything. Thanks for the tip
@@tooshmart6669 you're smart to take it easy bro. I have been out there in my boat many times and I have seen it get really bad really quickly.
Thanks for this info. Planning a trip in the winter months to see my son and want to go fishing while I am there..this is very helpful....Keep the vids coming...
New subscriber here from NYC! Talk about perfect timing. We will be there next week to camp in Cherrystone Campground. I have been doing research on where to fish and you guys just helped me out alot! Thank you for the very informative video! Hoping to catch fish by the campground as well.
I really appreciate your vids you guys! I have been an avid outdoorsman for my entire life & love the outdoors as I see y’all do to which is fantastic because last year I had a car wreck that left me in a wheel chair for the rest of my life. Your videos have been great- they remind me of the great times I have had. I’m not staying down forever & you guys are helping me want to get back in a boat or modified fishing kayak again. Thanks you guys!
Man this is one of the best comments we have ever received. Thank you for this. Please keep us updated if you ever get out there and if you ever want to try and get a land based fishing experience in let us know!!
Thanks for posting this video, brother! I live in Baltimore, but I've been visiting VB a lot the last several years. Thanks for giving me a bunch of places to try my luck beside simply fishing at the Virginia Beach Pier all the time!
Thanks for sharing for us visitors it was very helpful. Appreciate y'all Keep up the great content! God Bless
Have a family trip there this weekend. Great info thank you for the video.
Wow!!!!! Just found this video. Such good info for us "out of towners". We can figure it out but these basic "where too fish" tips are a great help. We promise to not catch all the fish, ha. Thanks a million

Great vid!!!! I'm a local and fishing at Lesner was really fun. Set up a tent for the little ones and fish for 12 hours!!!
Thank you for making this video. I have found it difficult to find fishing locations at the beach. I love in Richmond.

thank you for making this vid, I am from the upper chesapeake bay area in MD and am coming down this weekend to target some puppy drum and sheepshead. hope to run into you there, if you're still in that area.
Appreciate the tips for the area.
Great job guys, lived in VA. most of my life never fished down towards VA. Beach, this was a great information video, don't worry about haters keep doing a great job of letting us know the best places to fish in VA. Please in the "SHOW MORE" section put addresses or locations or links to google maps of locations to fish, again great job.
Thank you!! This helped alot!!
Thanks for the video, it really helped me.
Good job Jeff and Christi love your videos. Stay blind to the haters go One Fish Two fish
Fished Rudee Inlet this morning and caught a 17 inch flounder and a couple small Croaker.
That is some good eating: Croaker is underrated.
Croaker was the first fish I’ve ever caught
Great video be down there tomorrow from Richmond
Coming down from ontario for the week. Thanks for the tips.
Very informative!
Being a Hampton native it's not really a big deal to tell fishing spots but it definitely will strike some nerves because fishermen are so stingy and scared of sharing
@tom young exactly and alot of locals hate it when they have competition
What pisses me off is most fish are migratory so their not even guaranteed to be in the same “secret” spot lol
I fished all those spots and they are beautiful catch and release
Nice broad topic, know exactly where you are coming from. Anglers should know you can catch coolers full of “small” spadefish on the sandbridge pier, but ya got to know how. Also recommend inexperienced angler not try to paddle out to 1st island in a kayak, the weather can turn and one should know how to handle the rough water. The current in lynnhaven inlet at the bridge can flip a kayak very easy, it is so strong. Keep up the good fishing vids!
Thank you for your comment. I completely agree!!
This video definitely helped 🤙
Really awesome video guys! Fam and I are headed down week of April 18 for the first time. Any suggestions for this time of year? Can sharks be caught at this time? Stripers? I’m from Jersey so I surf fish a lot.
TINY but important correction on the spot he says is the most popular. Thats the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-TUNNEL (CBBT), not the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (CBB).
The CBB is like 150 miles away in Maryland. Could make for much different GPS routing...
Great info
Great video. Can’t wait to hit the water .#ihatework
Love your channel! Thanks for all the good advice! I fish under the lesner all the time, hope to see y’all out there soon! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! And yes, hopefully we will see you!!
Well this is pretty convenient considering I am a local but only just got into saltwater fishing. Definitely going to check these out, thanks! Any recommendations on tackle etc.?
Great video....thanks
Been waiting for this vid!
Thanks for the info, I fished ocean view a few times this summer, caught some blue fish and sting rays, Would you say fishing in these spots is good enough to go this time of year in the fall and december? It's a little cold but if the fishing is still good I'd still be willing to go.
Cool!! Thanks!!👍🙂
Being a North Carolina fisherman, I’m looking for new Flounder spot since we have a flounder season 😉
Good Info my family is from the beach area and ive only ever gone to the pier me and my friend are going to try out some of those spots he wants to catch sheeps and drums so thatxwill ve good
Great man...tks
Good to see a CZcamsr who live in VA beach
@1Fish2Fish you said you can’t fish the jetty but does that include the beach to the left of the jetty. Gonna be staying at the schooner inn by grommet park in June.
For on the boat, cobia and stripper, head to 'trestle C' at outgoing tide when the water is 50degree and lattimer shoals right on the 30ft drop off line and drop cut bunker with a chum bag. :)
What size hooks would you use in this area?
I'm going to fish this area the 1st week of October
Thank you! I'm new to the area and getting a fresh start to fishing after 25 years. Do you have any recommendations for a starter rod/ real and weight of line? I used to trout fish with a 1 pound line.
I'm coming up this coming weekend from South Carolina thanks so much for the info.
Nice intro!
great video you guys. quick question about licensing. I live in Richmond but I'm always super nervous about just throwing the rod in to catch some fish when I visit the beach area. I've always heard horror stories about being fined for fishing without the proper licensing. What's needed in your area to keep things on the up and up. thanks!
All VA residents just need a saltwater license to fish anywhere in the ocean around Virginia Beach. If you go to a pier, you don't need a license at all.
Hey thanks for the info new sub will be going to first landing state park to camp for a day or two an will be fishing from beach there an maybe pier would like to get a shark or any other big fish
With the internet and fishing apps. There no longer is a thing called a "secret stop".
Hey guys great video I'm going down Virginia Beach September 10th 11th to 12th no boat I just wanted to know at the Virginia Beach Bay bridge tunnel where you were standing is there parking there so I can take my wagon out and do some surf fishing at the bridge I'd appreciate it you guys have a great summer will fall is coming up but you have a great fall too thanks for the info
Thanks for the video, our family is coming down later this week and staying at the KOA. I want to take my 11 year old daughter out who loves fishing so where would be the best and safest place to take her. Thanks again.
Hey Jeff where is parking for the 2 spots you and Kristi mentioned beach fishing at lynnhaven and CBBT? Thanks in Advance, We will be coming from Richmond! Also My kids love your channel and they said to ask you to go fishing with us some day
Thanks y'all , I've been waiting a lot of years to find out where to fish here in Hampton Roads ! I'm from around Gulf Shores Ala. and Pensacola Fla.
Thomas Huskey hey man I am also from Pensacola and now live in Newport News. Have you figured out the fishing?
How is the fishing in front of Westminster - Canterbury and out at Fort Story (bay and oceanfront)?
Hey everyone, going to be in the VA beach area for the next 5 months and am trying to get more info on fishing this area. A friend and I attempted to fish rudee inlet last month and had zero success as expected but considering season rolling around next month I'd like to be better prepared and equipped to catch some ocean fish/sharks. I prefer to fish for only fish that I would be allowed to keep so any information on that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and hope to catch some megalodons next month.
I am a local and I want to take my kids out and teach them to fish and crab but everywhere I went as a kid is built up. It is hard to find a spot that isn't crowded.
Can you do a video on lakes and rivers in inland virginia? I’m from Richmond, my favorite spots are Wilde Lake and the James
Swift creek res in midlothian
Nicholas Sabella ayy wassup. The reservoir has some good bass
Thanks for the info. I am a bank fisherman. Therefore, ur info is awesome! Damn the haters!
Emergency! Here in va beach for first time and fishing at lynnhaven inlet for bday weekend trip (no kayak or boat, so surf/land fishing) Spots here are limitedz and not seeint any fish. Really want a drum to take home. Any recommendations on spots can go for drum? Thanks!!!
I’m bringing the boat down tomorrow and fishing rudee any advice?
Great job fish your way......
I would like information on lesner bridge to pier and chx
great vid and very informative; hope to go there one day,,,
What beach were you at by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Can you wade the Lynhaven Inlet / waterway? Thx
I know on the pier you just buy a license for the pier or a pass, but if anyone can tell me what Virginia licenseing requirements are for surf fishing or Rudee Inlet can you please let me know thank you
I am staying at four point sheraton hotel, can i walk out and beach fish there? Is beach fishing allowed? Thanks
Any tips for targeting sheeps at Rudee?
Do you know any good crabbing spots ?
Are there any beach restrictions at Chicks Beach?
Is cast net fishing allowed? We saw some people doing it
Where do you go for bluefish. VB PIER IS PACKED
I definitely needed this FUCK the haters keep making content 💪🏾
what about little creek will a 14ft mod v jon boat be gd at lynhaven or anywhere else
14 ft Jonboat you are solid! Rudee, Lynnhaven, just don't go outside an inlet. But you are fine to take it all over the inshore waters.
I wouldn’t call them haters just very protective! Lol
Is that rudee inlet I go there all the time I’m going there today
So you can't surf fish in Grommet Park or you just can't get on the jetties? Little confused...
anybody done any float tube fishing in these parts thinking about the marsh around Chick's and possibly the Backbay refuge?
Is there any parking near the Lesner Bridge?
Great parking at the north end of the bridge at the boat ramp. From the ramp side of the parking area you can walk under the bridge and get to the beach on the Chesapeake bay. Also get to the bridge piers and fish off of them. Great fishing off the bridge piers.
Where's the best spots in December I'm from gloucester but moved to Wisconsin like 13 years ago
🤙
Where is the parking at near the bay bridge for the beach fishing?
Dustin Lowery I need this answer too
you have to park on the streets in the neighborhood. check for no parking signs closely. on the weekends, it gets busy, you may have to circle the block a couple times unless yoy go really early
Randy is right. Parking can be the issue but actually instead of parking near Buoy 44 and HK on the Bay there is parking in the neighborhood on the other side of the tunnel. Hard to explain, but if you look on google maps you can see it. You are essentially parking on the West Side of the bridge, right under the bridge in the neighborhood.
I grew up in sandbridge
