Nice video. Those drone shots are great ! That pier is a part of the original James River Bridge . I drove it a few times in 1977 . Looking forward to seeing you catch more fish .

Fished that pier a long time but it's been almost 20 years since last time. I caught many nice flounder on right side as you go out. Mostly about 120 yards past the Crab Shack..maybe a little further. Fished for them as the high tide was turning, jigging light twin jighead baits...so I was jigging towards myself with the tide coming out. Some times a school of menhadden would come in with the tide so I would fish under the schools. By your video I can see many positive changes to the bridge (pier) over the years..nice video btw. Pier can be a hot spot for stripers too...the flounder were mainly caught in early-mid fall as were the stripers. For info if you didn't know the pier is the remnants of the original James River Bridge Rt17..I have never caught a catfish there and I don't normally fish for spot or croaker..just flounder and occasionally puppy drum. So if you go again try a high tide, at night under a light, with jigheads and hold on..

Just recently started following you. Love your videos especially the drone shots. James river pier is my goto spot because it's so close to me. Hope to see you out there one day!!

I see cuzzo do your thing 💯

Great videos, especially the aerial views. Personally ally I've never had great luck with fish bites, but one of those spots would have probably made some pretty good bait!

Hey man, I really like your videos. Have you ever considered shore fishing? After much frustration with crowded piers in the Hampton roads area, I transitioned to shore fishing. I mainly fish back bay wildlife refuge and damneck naval base area. I use a deep water rig with fish bites just like you do. This time of year I’ve been catching 20-30 inch reds, black drum and more. I feel like shore fishing is a secret gem in Virginia Beach that people don’t know.

Another Checkered Flag video. I took Helen to that Crab Shack restaurant many years ago.

Those spots were hitting. Like the drone footage when u was fishing
-
If you used that fish as bait would you chop it up or would you keep it alive?
-
I just wonder why people call them spots. That is incorrect they are called spot

Great drone shots! We just started watching you. What type of drone are you using? Looking into getting one.
