Virginia Saltwater Fishing is a news portal which provides the latest in fisheries issues, regulations, safety and other news of importance to the Virginia fishing community.

The resource was created in response to the growing need for information about fishing issues in the Commonwealth. In recent years Virginia has gained recognition for having some of the best saltwater fishing of the Mid-Atlantic coast.

Long known for its catches of flounder, spot, sea trout, drum fish and offshore species such as tuna, mahi mahi and billfish, Virginia's acclaim among the fishing community has been fueled in the last decade by the return of species such as striped bass and croaker. Its winter fishery for striped bass, known locally as "rockfish" has made the state a year round attraction for saltwater fishing enthusiasts.

Virginia Saltwater Fishing was created specifically to serve the growing community of local and transient fishermen. A long term blueprint of the news portal and blog will include guest posts and reports from area fishermen, guides and charter boat operators. The site is located at: http://www.virginia-saltwater-fishing.com/.
