Virginia Beach striper fishing has become so large and so well known that Virginia Beach is now considered the striper capital of the world. Sportsmen and women, professional and novice alike wait all year for winter to arrive in Virginia Beach. Not for the snow, not for the cold, and not for any normal reason one would want winter to arrive.

Virginia Beach has no mountains, no ski resorts, no ice hockey - ok one pretty bad ice hockey team. But that is not the reason sportsmen from up and down the east coast flock to Virginia Beach when the temperature dips into the 20's and 30's. In spite of some relatively chilly temperatures, people, and more specifically striper anglers come here for one thing, Virginia Beach striper fishing.

Striper anglers start arriving in Virginia Beach in November and keep on coming right on through the winter until some time in February. They naturally come for the great striper fishing in Virginia Beach, they come for the various rockfish tournaments and events that are put on throughout the ocean striper season. And above all anglers want to take part in Virginia Beach striper fishing for a chance to get hooked up to the next trophy striper.

Your Chance at a Virginia Beach Record Striper

Currently the last trophy of all trophy stripers to be caught was a 73 pound monster that now hails as the current Virginia State record. Striper fishing in Va Beach has resulted in record after record. For many years in a row it seemed like a new state record was established.

It started in the high 50 pound class one year and the next it was a 61 or 62 pound cow that tipped the scales as the latest Virginia state striper record. But that did not last and the next record was a 67 pound monster that anglers thought may hold for some time. Well that record was beaten too by the current striped bass record of 73 pounds. For now the current Virginia Beach striper fishing record, 73 pound big ole fat striper is holding strong but like before there is anticipation of this striper being beaten too, maybe by an eighty pound specimen.

Every winter season striper will begin to migrate down the coast beginning in the coldest regions like Maine or New Hampshire. Reports throughout the early winter striper season will have stripers leaving Cape Cod but hitting hard in New Jersey. Believe it when those reports from New Jersey reach Virginia Beach and the Chesapeake Bay the area rockfish anglers start to get "reel" restless with striper feeding frenzies and multiple hookups running through their minds.

Striper Fishing With an Experienced Virginia Beach Fishing Captain

You don't want to hook-up with a Captain that comes in from another state or far off region who is here just to take advantage of the great Va Beach striper fishing. That is a good way to waste a perfectly good striped bass fishing opportunity and finish the day with few to no hook-ups whatsoever, especially if you only have one trip planned.
