Wanted to find out how many people are having a hard time catching fish in the waters this year or is it just us who are having problems in Virginia USA. I've been several times this year salt water fishing and usually go with a group of people and nobody seems to catch anything in the bay. I'm thinking that maybe here for us in Virginia, we've had a record breaking summer of heat over 100 degrees for several days on end. Best guess is that the water is quite warm for the fish and they are driven down deeper where its much cooler. Also the crabs in the bay have been outrageous. Those little shits keep eating all our bait, its like an all you can eat buffet for the crabs.
