VIRGINIA: State cobia regulations to be set in late May

March 20, 2017 — The Poquoson Kiwanis Boating and Fishing Flea Market will be from 8 a.m.- 1 p.m. on Saturday at Poquoson High School. It will be a great opportunity to stock up on fishing gear and fishing related arts and crafts, while helping raise money for a good cause.

Virginia cobia regulations will be set over the next two weeks. There will be two public meetings where anglers can voice their opinions prior to the final decision. Both will be held at the VMRC building, 2600 Washington Avenue, Newport News.

The first will be the Finfish Management Advisory Committee meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 27. There will then be a public hearing after the noon hour at the March 28 Virginia Marine Resources Commission’s monthly meeting. Following public comments, the commission will establish the 2017 cobia regulations.
