Stay Updated with the Latest Norfolk, VA Fishing Reports

Trophy Fish Caught

At Prowler Fishing Charter, we pride ourselves on putting anglers on the bite—and our recent trips prove it. This season, we've seen a strong run of trophy fish including citation-size red drum, hefty cobia, and deep-dropping success with tilefish and grouper. Offshore trips have produced solid catches of tropical fish like mahi mahi and yellowfin tuna, with warm water pushing bait closer to our Norfolk fishing grounds. Our reports are updated regularly, giving you the latest info on what’s biting, where, and how to gear up for your shot at a record catch.

Norfolk Portsmouth Lift Bridge - Norfolk (city), VA Offshore Report on 25th Jul, 2025

The deep waters off Norfolk, VA have been producing solid results for bottom fishing this week. We ran offshore and put our anglers on a steady bite, dropping lines down to the ledges and wrecks where the fish were stacked up. By mid-trip, the box was filling fast with a variety of bottom dwellers. What’s Been Biting: We’re seeing great numbers of black sea bass, triggerfish, and a few chunky golden tilefish in the mix. Some keeper-size grouper also made an appearance, giving anglers a good fight on the way up from the depths. Best Setup: Heavy-duty bottom rigs with cut bait and squid are doing the trick. If you're targeting deeper wrecks, bring your electric reels or be ready for a workout. Conditions: Calm seas and a light current made it easier to stay on the bite. Water temps are hovering around the mid-70s offshore—ideal for bottom species this time of year. Now’s a great time to book a deep drop trip if you’re looking to fill the cooler with quality table fare. Spots are going fast as the summer bite heats up.
