  • HRBT Sat, 9-20-14

    Went to CBBT early in the am, but wind and surf were bad. So, I went to HRBT.

    In the afternoon I started to cross the channel to fish on the Ft Wool side, but the swells were 3-4 ft with some breaking waves. All I needed was a rogue wave to break broadside on my yak when I wasn’t looking. I made a U turn back to the Ft Monroe side.

    Anyway, I jigged and caught toads, sea bass, short flounder, and a long tube-like fish. Never caught one before, but I think it’s a lizardfish (10 1/4 inch). It hit the plastic.

    Yep, that's a lizzard fish. I have caught several around Kiptopeke. Weird looking thing.

      According to wikipedia, the maximum recorded length is 15.74 inches. So, maybe I caught a BIG or "near citation" one...lol...

        I never thought to messure one. I will have to pay attention if I catch another one.
