Lots of sushi

Here's a shot of Dr. Julie Ball of Virignia Beach with a nice yellowfin tuna caught this past weekend off Virginia Beach.

Anyone who follows Virginia saltwater fishing has heard of Julie, the Virginia Beach representative to the International Game Fish Association. A dentist in the Coast Guard, she's one of the state's top saltwater trophy anglers, boating loads of citation-sized fish annually. She also does a weekly fishing report and I plan to keep posting highlights here.

Here's what she wrote about Saturday's trip:

"We headed offshore with Capt Jake Hiles onboard the Matador. Our crew, Howard, Robin, Eric, and Steve. We left the dock around 4:30 out of Rudee. Lines in near the Norfolk Canyon in 100 fathoms. The seas were calm with a slight chop. We ended our trip with tuna to about 60-pounds, dolphin to about 12-pounds, and a cooler of tilefish and seabass."
