Virginia Beach Windmill Fishing (Cobia, Mahi, Seabass, Flounder)

- I am really excited about the future of this fishery. I don't understand how anyone thinks this could make the fishing worse. If a lot of windmills end up being constructed off the coast of VB, that alone could be come a destination fishery. If you get bored of the seabass, skip to 24:00 for the mahi followed by flounder fishing at the bridge.

I wish my Dad was into fishing - the only thing he taught me to do is detail my car. Your videos help me learn - thank you
Love your videos. No bullshit, just fishing.
You do a great job with these videos Nolan. Your love of fishing comes through loud and clear. Let’s do a grouper fishing movie next time you and Wyatt can make it down to Cape Fear
I won't say no to that!
Just found your channel and I love the fact that you fish while keeping the talking to a minimum.....some of these other fishing channels do 8 - 10min intros then breakaway after every fish they catch to do a 5min dissertation on what they caught, how they caught it, what they're going to do with their catch, etc....then the last 5 - 10mins is them talking about how they're going to clean their fish, how they're going to prepare the fish, how they're going to cook the fish😂🤣😅....I love that you just fish!! I subscribed
Fishing videos should be fishing right!
@@nolanminor6761 Exactly!
We've had really good luck at the windmills last year, looking forward to them building more and the opportunities they will offer.
I think it could be crazy. Hard to say what will show up when there are enough windmills to support a really big population of baitfish.
Man. Those sea bass taste sooo good.
So i work at the port of va and yes they are gonna be building a bunch more windmills. The parts for them are starting to come through the port now
Awesome. Looks like a great time
Another great video! Awesome content
you deserve more views, another great vid
nolan you should consider getting into the fish tagging program the amount of nice fish you catch and throw back,
great sea bass fishing🤙
Yes, they are building more now off Croatan. Im from there.
i hope they build them in louisiana too. more structure = more fishing opportunities
Bravo
I see you throw all the oyster toads back. When my dad and friends used to charter a boat out of Deltaville back in the late 60's, if we caught any toads the captain or mate would kill them.
What month of year was this filmed? I find the early season action slow, no Mahi or False Albies. It's now late Aug of '24. There are now an additional 50 bases installed. All of them will attract and fish. Hopefully sooner rather than later! Those are perfect size cobia. A lot of fun but you're not wasting all day with a big one.
I’m up in Delaware water temps are 10 degrees colder this yr then last yr same time fishing is just now really starting to kick in gear
Are the fish out there good to eat?
Lol sorry I'm a life long Alaskan 30+ years but may be moving to Virginia but worries that fishing is not going to be the same.
😅 Do y'all get any salmon out there or is it strictly white meat fish?
Any halibut or grey cod by chance?
Also does anyone surf fish down there?
Can you keep yellow fin and blue fin tuna, I just wonder because I saw these videos where people kept releasing them but driving them through the water to jet water through their gills. 😅 But can you keep them to eat?
What size boat are you using out there, and what would you say is minimum size boat on a nice day?
Nice!!!👍🙂👊
That seating up front is so weird. Donyou like that it loops around to the console? Great trip. They are building them up here in nj..everyone really mad about the windmills but on the down low i am excited.
I have heard that once power is being generated the fish supposedly leave? Not sure if the VA beach windmills generate power currently or not. I like the layout of the boat for sure, pretty comfortable fishing.
First of all, there is nothing green about these things. They destroy our environment and disrupt radar. No one wants to see this garbage in our oceans. Why support something that will destroy our fishing industry. There are many layers to this issue. At the end of the day, we are being lied to regardless of anyone's view on OSW.
@@nolanminor6761 The windmills off VB only generate intermittent power to the grid here. Also, they claim that these will last 25 years but that is absolutely false. Just look at the Block Island windfarm, not even 10 years old and they are falling apart.
Im going headboat fishing in june. When using squid strip as bait for sea bass should i bounce like you are doing? Or just let it hit bottom and stay still?
usually with bait you want to leave it as still as possible
@@nolanminor6761 ok thanks!
virginia hasthat many cobia? wow
Where is the location of this place. You mentioned va beach but where ?
Love to know the answer to this
The two existing turbines are located 27 miles offshore VB. They plan to put 176 turbines starting this year.
How far is that from the bay bridge tunnel ? I want to fish that area but don’t know where to launch the boat
I think its 25 or so miles from the CBBT but I'm not certain
Should come up to the mon river and do a video
I must say I think I have already spent enough time on the mon river for one lifetime
@@nolanminor6761 lol we placed 5th in a tournament there last month
We bleed our fish out it just purifies the meat and takes that fishy taste out of it. Idk why people make fun of it if they tried it they wouldn’t do it any different ever again
Even if it didn't improve the quality of the meat at all, I still think it would be 100% worth it because of how much cleaner the cleaning table is without blood everywhere.
What was the seabass jig
Big Nic spanish candy, the largest size they make
Love the videos but man there's a lot of ads
doing what I can to maybe make this my job one day, gotta do what you gotta do!
I didn’t hear how far from shore ?
about 25 miles from rudee inlet
Do you have numbers for the windmills?
You can see them very easily from the Chesapeake Light Tower. No secret!
They are 600ft tall. Can't miss them!
Id like to see a big push by the government to install more artificial reefs. They pay for themselves in business/tax revenue.
Would be cool to see for sure
First off, all these projects from New England to VA were rammed through without public input. Now they want to triple the number of these projects. This is reckless since they are no environmental studies on large scale OSW. Our utility bills will go through the roof. Also, no one wants to see this crap in our oceans and will have no impact on climate change yet why are we doing this. MONEY! We are destroying our commercial/recreational fishing industry by industrializing our oceans. Why support something that will cripple our fisheries. There is evidence that radar does not work around these things. Your radar will be compromised, were talking about boats colliding with each other. This is all an experiment. OSW has no place in our ocean. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
They make good fishing spots. However, they are better/cheaper ways to build artificial reefs. These things kill all our whales and marine mammals! This will do more harm than good. No offense.
How do they kill marine mammals?
@@haydenzzz9997 Here is a recent documentary that explains how OSW affects marine mammals. Also, you can find more info from BOEM.gov th-cam.com/video/km78wMHt9d8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZCZ0DgrG99vOii5-.
They kill whales huh? lol Do they prop chop em up?
@@patrickmcphee770 No. it's the OSW pre construction activities such as pile driving the turbine foundations and sonar mapping of the seafloor. This deafens whales which increases the risk for ship strikes. For the past there have been 70+ whales/ marine mammals washing up dead. Another one washed up dead a few days ago in MA.
A claim without a shred of evidence. Claims yes, evidence no.
