Hey man,
In case you check this forum post.
I'm in Norfolk, and I just decided I need to get back into bass fishing, because the saltwater fishing bite from shore is pretty miserable this time of year.
I got into a bass on my first try on Saturday. I was pretty surprised, I wasn't planning to catch anything.
I've compiled some spots to check out, as I plan on fishing much more between now and mid april (gonna switch gears to saltier stuff, which I actually feel pretty confident about my abilities in).
You're absolutely welcome to join me, I'm also 27 y/o, bout your age, not super experienced, but have been fishing a fair bit since I was about 21.
Anyway, I really enjoy fishing alone, but I also really enjoy fishing with company. If you want to fish for some bass any time, let me know. I'd also be down to fish the saltier water. Last year from may-november I didn't get skunked on a single outing (in the saltwater). Excited to learn more about bass fishing this area, although from what I can tell, shore access is hard to find. Can't get a kayak until I have somewhere to put it though.
But yeah, again, I'll be bank fishing for bass hopefully at least weekly for the duration of spring, let me know if you want to get out, I don't check this forum daily, but if you hit me up I'll probably get back to you within a week.
