Solomons, Maryland and Virginia Beach, are ideal fishing spots for anglers! The shallow coastal waters of the Chesapeake Bay provide excellent habitat for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Spot, Croaker, Perch, Redfish, Flounder and Mackerel. In addition to these popular game-fish species found in Solomon’s waters, the nearby Virginia Beach is also home to an abundance of Cobia, Triggerfish, Spadefish and Black Sea Bass. The variety of fish species makes these two hotspots a great place to drop a line.

Lucky Strike Fishing Charter provides a variety of fishing techniques in Virginia Beach. We offer trophy fishing with live baiting for rockfish and bluefish and bottom fishing for croaker, spot, and perch. Drift fishing for flounder is also available, as well as trolling the bay and offshore waters of Virginia Beach for Rockfish and Bluefish. Captain Dave has many time and tested fishing methods to choose from depending on the situation to ensure you enjoy an unforgettable day on the water with us.
