Was in Norfolk for the weekend visiting the in-laws but was able to sneak away for a couple hours. Fished the Elizabeth River for the first time Saturday. Launched near the top of the incoming and fished through the slack into the outgoing without much of an idea of what to expect. Found some schoolie rockfish hanging on points in both the main river and some of the larger branches, landed 4 and lost a few others casting and trolling swimming mullets and paddle tails.
Hit Rudee first thing Sunday. Should have known better than to go there on a nice weekend morning but stuck around dodging boats and other kayakers. Must have been near the bottom of the tide when I launched and was incoming when I left. Saw a few rat reds caught early, found a few shad and lost a tiny speck beside the yak but it was a slow for me and everyone else I saw. Also saw a mid 20 inch sickly looking blue cruising the surface near the aquarium.
