Pick up oily fish from the Asian markets, I like mackerel, and fish the Virginia side from fletchers to chain bridge…deeper the better (it gets to 70 feet in a few spots). I’d recommend 60lb braid and 60 lb mono/fluro leader as well as a bunch of extra lead (you’re going to get snagged a lot).

Right now the water is a bit cold so the bite is slower, but the big girls consistently eat all winter. Look for eddies and current that go from deep to calm. I like 2-4 ozs on the bottom
