Well it is that time of year again. Being in a military family we move every 1 1/2 years. My dad(Navy) already reported in va and the rest of us will move begining of may. Yeah it really sucks moving in the heat of fishing season and moving in genarel. But on the bright side of things we are getting a boat to fish the Chesapeake bay. So there is a hearty helping of Stripers, Cobia, Flounder, Cod, Tog,Grouper,Redfish, and TARPON on my plate!!!!! there are also some good ponds for my serving of fresh water!! Well it was really nice here in CT but my time here is almost up.

My dad was also in the Navy for 25 years before he was honorably discharged. Have vacationed at Virginia Beach several times and love that area. If you're an aviation junkie you'll love the constant flyover of the Navy fighter jets there. Have fun going over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge going there. That is a marvel of engineering. Good luck and keep in touch.

im sure you can, i stay with family at a campground on it (one of those ones where people own spots and have campers pulled up to house type things, kinda weird the first time you see it) and we have boats but we also fish right from the docks....its a really big lake, they hold bass tourneys on it all the time, so im sure there is fishing from shore.....
