This is an excellent local pier to fish from. It
lies on the eastern shore of Virginia a few miles off the highway.
Finding Saxis is a bit of an adventure if you are not familiar with the
area but a good map should get you there. Good bait is available
locally....... peeler crab or soft crab bait is essential.
Check with local tackle shops or VMRC for fishing regulations.
The VMRC website describes this pier as
"The
pier extends 200 feet into Saxis Harbor and terminates with a 100-foot
