East Ocean View 6th Annual Head Boat Fishing Trip

August 13th, 2018



Norfolk Anglers Club held their 6th Annual East Ocean View Recreation Center Head Boat Trip with Captain Ronnie Boone Jr.’s Head Boat the Judith Anne on August 13. We had 17 NAC member’s providing the assistance with all the children fishing on this trip. The day started at 8 AM with all members present to assist the kids and adults onto the boat at the Ocean View Fishing Center off of Pretty Lake Avenue. We had 50 children and approximate 4 adults from the Rec Center as guests for this outing. Many of the children had fished with us on previous trips and it was great to see how much they have grown over the years and how enthusiastic they were to go fishing with us. The weather, though threatening in the forecast, turned out to be beautiful and hot. Capt Boone got us started fishing near the First Island of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and the kids did a fine job of catching as many as were available.

They really got a kick out of catching croaker, spot, black sea bass one flounder and even several small sharks. NAC members on board untangled lines that frequently got entangled. Baited hooks, taught the kids how to control their lines and reels to prevent backlashing as well as untangling bird nests created by the kids as they fished. Several anglers actually fished and then let the kids bring in the fish that the angler’s hooked. NAC members frequently instructed the kids about the Virginia Junior Angler Awards Program of the Virginia Saltwater Tournament. Several of them were able to apply their catch to the awards program. The wind and fast current did present some trouble with a fast drift most of the trip but didn’t prevent most of the kids from catching plenty of fish. Over all, it was a great trip and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

After the Head Boat Trip, we headed to the East Ocean View Recreation Center for a picnic lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, potato salad, mac and cheese and watermelon which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Ed and Karen Schrader of Sea Tow even provided Frisbee’s for each of the kids which made excellent plate holders. Members who assisted with the fishing were: myself, Mike Hubert, Greg Rogers, Mary Troutner, Marvin Chivers, Ben Capps, Rich Lewis, EJ O’Brian, John Talha and his daughter Jolie, Russell Willoughby, Beth Synowiec, Paul Harris, Dennie Dobbins of Portsmouth Anglers Club, Alex and AJ Perez and Wendy Branson as photographer. Helping with the cooking and serving of the food at the picnic were Will Bransom, Karen Schrader, Jerry Hughes, Michel and Ned Smith, Kathy Eisenhower and Mike Mancini. If I missed someone who helped I’m sorry this is everyone I had listed.
