Boat & Captain:

Capt Bob

Meet Captain Tiki Bob Robinson of Virginia Beach sport fishing boat the Fin Seeker. Captain Tiki Bob runs fishing charters on the Fin Seeker. When it comes to choosing an offshore sport fishing Captain you certainly want to choose one that is professional, experienced, and knowledgeable about the area fishing grounds. Captain Tiki Bob has been fishing the waters since he was a kid. He used to fish the Virginia Beach waters at 13 years old in a small 16ft skiff with a 5 hp Sears and Roebuck motor. Not a luxury cruiser but for a kid that's all Captain Tiki Bob needed to get him to the fish. When you fish with Captain Tiki Bob you will find out immediately how friendly he is. Not only is he friendly but he displays an abundance of patience, a must have quality for a professional fishing Captain. He has patience to find the fish, patience to wait on the bite, and above all plenty of patience with his customers. Fin Seeker Sportfishing Mate: When you board the Fin Seeker for your day of fishing you will be greeted by Jason Carroll, who is the Mate on board the Fin Seeker. Jason is a Virginia Beach native with over 10 years of sport fishing experience as a mate. He grew up fishing with his father and various boat captains from Hatteras Island all the way up to Ocean City, MD.

Fish We Catch:

Dolphin

The body of the dolphin is quite slender but fairly deep, with a noticeable tapering from head to tail. The male of the species is distinguished from the female by its high, vertical head. The anal fin has approximately 30 soft rays and stretches over half of the length of the body. The distinctive dorsal fin is long, covering almost three-fourths of the body, and has around 60 soft rays. The caudal fin is deeply forked and contains no spines. -- A blaze of blue and yellow or deep green and yellow when in the water, and sometimes shows dark vertical stripes as well when excited. Small dark spots on sides. Dorsal fin extends nearly from head to tail. Head is very blunt in males (bulls); rounded in females (cows).

Blue Marlin

The Atlantic and Pacific specimens are nearly identical in appearance. The back and upper portions of the body are dark, cobalt blue in color, including the first dorsal fin. The lower portion has a silver-white color. In many cases, there are up to 15 vertical stripes, consisting of small dots and narrow bars, with a light cobalt blue color. The principal way to distinguish blue marlin from their relatives is to examine the shape of the dorsal fin tip, which is more pointed on blue marlin. In addition, the spots found on the fins of most marlin are absent on the blue marlin.

Sailfish

The Atlantic sailfish’s most prominent feature is their first, sail-like dorsal fin, commonly referred to as its “sail dorsal.” Coloration of the body is dark blue to dark blue-green on top, brown-blue on the sides fading to silver-white underneath. The upper body has light and dark blue spots scattered about, while the sides have blue-gray vertical stripes that are often broken. The body of an Atlantic sailfish is slender and they are extremely fast swimmers, having the ability to swim at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. There is an obvious lateral line that runs over the pectoral fin and back along the flanks. The body is covered with embedded scales that become less numerous and more variable in shape as the fish ages.

Wahoo

Long, slender body marked with zebra-like stripes of white and deep blue or black. Mouth is elongated and narrow, and equipped with razor-sharp teeth.

Yellowfin Tuna

Yellowfin tuna have a muscular, streamlined body like a swimming torpedo and like all tuna they can swim fast as lightning. A tuna's color is dark blue to black on the back and tail fin, yellow and silver on the side and belly. The second dorsal and anal fins are yellow and very long in older fish. Finlets run down the back and belly from these two fins to the tail fin and are a bright, canary yellow with black edges.
