Suffolk & Virginia Beach: East Coast’s Hidden Bass Hotspots w/ Sean Boorsma

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Sean Boorsma, an accomplished kayak angler and the new Tournament Director for the Virginia B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series. We dive into the incredible bass fishing opportunities across Suffolk and Virginia Beach, two of the most underrated yet diverse fisheries in coastal Virginia. Sean breaks down what makes these waters so special — from the cypress-lined lakes of Suffolk like Lake Cohoon, Lake Meade, and Lone Star Lakes, to powerhouse bass fisheries in Virginia Beach such as Western Branch, Prince, and Smith Lakes. We also talk about his transition from competitor to tournament director, the growing kayak fishing community, and the exciting plans for the Virginia B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series in 2026. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a diehard kayak angler, this episode is packed with local knowledge and insights into Virginia’s thriving bass scene.
