Fishing Va. Bridge/Tunnel with pontoon boat

#1 Post by gmorgan » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:35 am

Has anyone seen or done this , I was looking to take my pontoon boat down and try fishing around bridge or would it be better to use my 23.5' Trophy boat , I like the Trophy but I can fish more people on pontoon boat .

Do it all the time but on a lake, we tie up to a rope around the pier or just use the anchor works for us and a lot of other people.

The bay bridge tunnel ? Gets rough as hell there, so just watch the weather. I fish the bay bridge at Annapolis all the time and it can be calm as glass or 6-7 waves :scared :scared :scared :scared

I fished the bridge tunnel many times...sometimes its pontoon weather, most often not. Take the Trophy. You will be glad you did.
