Virginia, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedNEWSurprise for nephew did not disappoint!
4 hr Trolling only - 12:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 childWe had perfect weather and caught a bunch of blues and mackerel, as well as an impressive looking houndfish. The captain tried diligently to bring us a red drum to impress my nephew, but they were elusive that day. He was thrilled with the experience, as was my niece (his mom), and we had a great afternoon! First Mate Bulldog was very attentive, friendly, and fun and provided great information about how everything worked in the trolling setup, as well as the fish-cleaning technique back at the pier. Captain Rocky showed my nephew how the navigation and fish finder equipment worked, which he loved, and gave us a smooth ride to all the 'spots'. Highly recommend this boat and crew!

4 hr Trolling only - 4:00 PM • 5 adultsMy 16 year old son could stop talking about how much of a great time he had and how the crew was extremely nice and helpful. 'My son said mom you know I don't like talk but the crew was easy to talk too" I would definitely recommend them.

Douglas MurphyChicago, IL, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedCaptain Rocky finds the fish!!!
6 Hour Trip – Troll / Sight Fishing • 2 adultsWe got 30 mackerel despite having to turn around and drop off a seasick landlubber. Rocky and crew have your back no matter the experience level and the boat is very wide and stable. We stayed inshore but I’m sure he does great on the open ocean too! Flawless!

What's biting with Big Dog Charters in Virginia Beach
Temperatures cool and the crowds disperse. And while hotel prices might drop, the fishing doesn't. This is peak season for Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna. Big Red Drum and Speckled Trout are the talk of the town inshore.
