The Chesepeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is at the mouth of the Chesepeake Bay connecting the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area to Virginia's Eastern Shore. It is a series of bridges and two tunnels extending 20 miles.
We decided we would take a little night trip out to the first island (first entry to the tunnels from the Norfolk side).
On the way out, we met a couple of Marine Policemen who indicated that the fishing had been slow. Our time on the water did little to change that assessment.
Darrell, Paul, Kurt, Derrik, Devin and Dwayne had a great time despite the rockfish (stripers) not cooperating the way we had hoped. Kurt grilled some hot dogs (it's amazing how great a simple dog can taste when you're cold and hungry) and we got down to some fishing.
We managed to keep 3. We caught 4, but tossed the first one back because we were uncertain of the slot limits. It turns out that Darrell could have kept that fish. It also turned out to be the largest fish of the night.
An example of what we were looking for....
The simple pleasures..........
