Reel Release Sport Fishing
Reel Release offers sport fishing out of Virginia Beach, VA. Their number one goal is customer service, and they promise to provide the best fishing experience possible. Cruising out of Lynnhaven Inlet, Captain Robbie will take you fishing the Chesapeake Bay and wrecks up to 40 miles offshore. Whether you want to get a boatload of big Redfish and Cobia or crush it on Seabass and Flounder, a great catch is guaranteed.
You will go out aboard a 30’ Privateer which can take you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. It comes powered by a 380 HP Caterpillar engine and is well-prepared for the current bite. Perfect for accommodating up to 6 anglers, the vessel is fully rigged with the latest navigational electronics and safety equipment, as well as a live well loaded with bait and outriggers. The boat is perfect for chasing the fish in the bays, as well as up to 40 miles offshore.
Choose between exploring the Chesapeake Bay, looking for Cobia, Bluefish, fat Red Drum, Tog, Shark, Spadefish, and Flounder, or heading out to the ocean to fish the wrecks for Seabass. Captain Robbie can also take you targeting Yellowfin Tuna, Tilefish, Spotted Seatrout, Blue Marlin, and even Shark.
All trips come with everything you need to make an outstanding catch possible. You will be provided with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait. You won’t have to worry about getting a license, Captain Robbie’s got you covered. All you need to bring is your favorite food, drinks, and the desire to catch fish!

8 Hour Trip
Fishing
I went in a 8hr near/inshore trip. The bait equipment and cree were great just had a tough time getting fish to bite. Of the time spent on water about 6 hours was driving for sight fishing or getting to and from the boat dock. Beyond that not much trolling happened and we bottom fished for alittle more than 1 hour. A total of 3 fish were caught,Spanish mackerel, cobia and Red drum. For a total rod in hand time of about 2 minutes. I would have liked to have more time with my hands on the pole weather throwing lures. Bottom fishing or free lining live bait.

Too cloudy
It was too cloudy for a good day catching Cobia. But my son did catch a keeper when the sun did peak through the clouds. The Captain went out of his way trying to get us hooked up again but no luck. Grayson his 1st mate was super. We had the fish for dinner and it was really good. Thanks you guys for making it a very special time with my son's.

Excellent trip
Captain Robbie and Grayson were amazing! We took our boys fishing to celebrate a birthday. They did everything they could to put our kids on fish and were so kind and helpful to them. Can't thank them enough for an excellent day on the water!
