A known fisherman is Captain Keith Harlan who Mega fish bite out of Virginia Beach.

In the summer months, the deep-sea fishing in Virginia Beach is excellent. Captain Keith described Virginia offshore fishing saying, "There is nothing set in stone with fishing around here but chasing yellowfin tuna through much of the summer is our core business. "These deeper waters such as tuna for the most part, being often caught in water from 30 to 100 fathoms. "We look at satellite photos to get a general idea of how far north or south the tuna are" said the captain. fishing spots include the Norfolk Canyon, Cigar, Weather Buoy, Wayne's World and others. These access points range up to 75 miles out of Rudee entry. In addition to yellowfin tuna, fishermen catch bluefin, bigeye, skipjack and longfin albacore, dorado, wahoo, swordfish and sharks.

Of interest to many anglers are the trips that arrive at the Norfolk Canyon. Just before reaching the canyon walls are slopes that are often highly productive areas. Near the canyon walls, the bottom becomes steeper and rocky. Fish congregate along the slopes to catch food that is caught in the harsh currently running. Along the edges are lobster traps which are marked by orange buoys or "lobster balls". The buoys attract dolphin fish which in turn attract the larger marlin, swordfish and sharks that feed on them heavily. A trip by a buoy can be without problems, or one or more lines could be attacked by mahi mahi, tuna, marlin and other fish.

Late August and September often feature the best fishing and more fishing tuna, as well as an influx of wahoo and bull dolphin. offshore fishing continues in October, when windy weather and falling water temperatures make fishing less productive.

After the season winds down at sea, the fishermen of Virginia enjoy excellent striped bass fishing. Known locally as rockfish, these delicious fish migrate down the East Coast and congregate in the lower Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters from November to March. The fishermen sometimes catch monster rockfish, exceeding 50 pounds. The Virginia state record rockfish has been broken many times recently, with some of the largest fish caught out of Virginia Beach Virginia.

These fishing beautiful love cold and windy weather and feed in immense schools along the coast. Local charter boat captains such as Captain Keith of the Mega Bite monitor local fisheries and are often able to find the fish reliably when a window of opportunity of the winter time available.
