On my first trip fishing in a new state, I had a BANNER DAY!!!
If you are new to Salt Strong, my name is Pat Ogletree and I travel around the southeast United States making videos and fishing reports for Salt Strong Insider Members.
My latest destination was in the state of Virginia and I had never been up there, so naturally, I never fished in the state.
Don’t miss this catch footage!!
Fishing In A Spot I Found In A New State [VIDEO]

A goal of mine when fishing in a completely new area is to locate schools of bait or any bait activity in the area.
As I was sitting and thinking about picking up and moving spots, a redfish slowly moved across the sand to the left of me.
So I put my stick anchor in the sand and threw out the F.R.E.D. paddletail.
It didn’t take long for the drag to start screaming!!
I was fishing in clear water and these redfish couldn’t get enough of the F.R.E.D.
Thereafter I was getting bitten on every other cast
It almost started to become surprising if I didn’t hook into a fish!
The F.R.E.D. paddletail ended up being the ultimate ticket to reeling in these fish all day long.
I did have some success on the Strike King KVD Wake Bait as well.
The Wake Bait is an excellent search lure you can use to cover more ground and call curious fish in to have a look.

What part of the bay were you fishing Pat, I’m heading there to 2 days? Sounded like you were near an airport.
Welcome to Virginia Pat and our great fishery on the Chesapeake Bay.
Thank You Mike! To be honest, I had no idea the fishing was this good up here. Y’all are good at keeping secrets!
Pat, that was an inspiring video!
Which of your posts were filmed in Louisiana?
Chip, New Orleans
Thank You Chip!
I only had one trip in Louisiana during my short stay. I fished Hopedale the day after a cold front came through. The morning temp was in the low thirties so I knew it was going to be a late bite, I was getting worried but came through in the end. Here’s the link to the report:

Wow, you were on them Pat. Great job!!
Thanks Joe! It was a good day!
Great work, Pat! I live in VA and there’s some fine fishing spots, fresh and saltwater. The slot for Reds is min. 18 and max. 26 in. The state record is 85 lbs.!
Virginia is an outstanding place to come fish! Beautiful area up there!
Great work Pat!
Thanks Luke!
