Lt. David A. Thornes

Cape Charles, Virginia
 

         
I’ve been fishing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay for almost twenty-five years now.  My fathers side of the family is from Tangier Island Virginia so I probably have some salt-water in my system somewhere.  I was raised as a military brat and moved around a lot, but came home to one of the greatest places on earth, The Chesapeake Bay and the Cape Charles area.  And it still must be in the blood, my best first mate (and son) is stationed in Savannah, Georgia serving in the U.S. Coast Guard.
     I work full time as a Police Lieutenant with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Police, and part time on the water as a commercial fisherman and taking people out fishing.  One great job pay’s the bills, the other great job creates bill’s to pay.  But you gotta love both. 
     Give us a chance to show you one of the greatest waters in the world, and what it has to offer.
