I don't know anything about fishing in Virginia, but if you were down here I'd say put a live shrimp under a cork, an fish when the tide is dropping the fastest. If you use artificial, my favorite is the 'electric chicken' plastic cochaoe on a 1/4 oz jig head. Also almost every fish in the water will hit a silver or gold spoon. I wish I could help more, just I know nothing about Virginia. Come to Louisiana and ill put you on em.
