For our guys looking for the Virginia fishing report, we’ve got you covered.

As summer fishing heats up with warm water and active fish flooding into the bay, it’s easy to focus on the bite and forget about safety. But as Captain Bart reminds us, contingency planning is critical. He shares real-world stories of close calls and successful rescues, explaining why every boater should have a Sea Tow membership. From dead batteries and running out of fuel to unexpected mechanical failures, Sea Tow offers peace of mind when the unexpected strikes—all for just $249 a year.

Captain Bart outlines the most common problems boaters face: not checking the weather, running out of fuel, and overlooking basic maintenance items like batteries and bilge pumps. He explains the importance of having a float plan, keeping your GPS and communication tools accessible, and making sure your crew knows how to use them. He also emphasizes often-overlooked safety gear like emergency jump boxes, spare water pumps, and portable bilge pumps that can move serious water when seconds count.

Whether you’re a seasoned captain or just getting started, this episode is packed with must-know advice on safety planning and equipment. Captain Bart also offers some insights into why Sea Tow’s fleet includes older Mako boats—they’re heavy, tough, and made to handle the conditions of the Chesapeake Bay.
