November 2020:  Fall fishing for Rockfish is in full swing as Bay air and water temperatures continue to cool.  Gone are the hot, humid days of Summer and the cool air is refreshing.  Rockfish school up now and push bait to the surface, where gulls and terns dive from above.  Other than the size of the birds (big birds mean bigger baitfish), you never know whether the school of fish contains keepers or not.  Fishing can be fast and furious with all the schooling fish. 

Give Captain Drew a call or send him a text real soon if you're interested. Sailing from Dockside Marina & Restaurant (421 Deale Rd, Tracys Landing, MD 20779).

February 24, 2020: Here at Big Worm Charters we had another first yesterday!!!! With the help and effort of Doug Collison and Rich Mogel, Big Worm put its first Bluefin on deck!! Our first bite came 5 minutes after setting out. We were a LITTLE taken by the power and speed of these fish. Unless you have a set of 130s or bigger don't waste your time. Anyway we learned a few things after our first fish escaped. Next bite came an hour later and after an hour and half battle, we boated our first. It weighed in at 201 pounds and after some negotiations with Scottsoo I was sadly disappointed that I didn't get $20 a pound!!! But it was still exciting to do! A special thanks to a handful of Vrginia Beach locals who have helped me along the way. I won't mention their names -- they know who they are! Thanks guys!

December 27, 2019:  Captain Worm and crew went swordfishing out of Virginia Beach and came back with one that tipped the scales at 445 lbs!!!  (see photo below)  The former Virginia State Record sword was caught September 1, 2012 and weighed 446 lbs!! So Captain Drew's fish was one pound shy of the former VA State record -- not bad my friend!!  The current VA State Record was caught August 16, 2019 and weighed 466 lb. Great job!!

Now accepting reservations for 2020
