Lynnhaven Inlet Video

Now that my move is over and I'm now living in Virginia, I have to go and learn and learn how to fish my new territory. This is the first on a series of videos documenting my explorations with insight on how I go about locating spots to fish. I hope you find it useful.

Great first Vid.

Thank you hunter12, I enjoyed the process and will be making more in the near future. Stay tuned!

This is such a wonderful video, many fisherman won't take the time to read structure or look for good spots, some won't wait and listen to a 20 minute long video like yours, but for those who do I'm sure they'll be hooked onto something.

Again, this is a wonderful and informative video, thank you for making and sharing it.

Thanks Stuck, I hope you find it useful.

Thank you for making that video and sharing it. I am not going to look at water the same again.

I would love to hear how the different spots you identified to investigate have turned out over the last few months. I also really enjoyed looking at this satelite photo of the inlet and seeing some of the structure you indentified in the video. thanks

Or not if you think my request falls into the category of spot burning. cheers

Hi Bowditch. As luck would have it, they are rebuilding the bridge and now I have no access to that area without fear of legal penalty. Might not stop me anyway lol.

I did find access to Pleasure House Reserve area and did fish the opposite point I mentioned in the video near the end. I caught several nice fluke (what they call flounder down here).

BTW, try using BING maps in "Bird's-eye" mode. These are photos from aircraft and they can get you much closer to the surface and with much greater detail than the sat shots.

Use the little arrow on the left side of the map to get rid of the ads to the left and go full screen. Then zoom in to the area you want to see and click on the [bird's-eye] tab. Then keep scrolling in until you can't anymore. You can get within 50 feet in many cases and it's really the way to check out structure and water. A great tool. This is what that point in the video looks like in bird's eye.

Bing looks good. thanks for the tip.
