Spend the day with Jim's Dream Charter Fishing and find out what the fishing in Chincoteague is all about!

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Striped Bass, Porbeagle Shark, Flounder, and more. You'll target your catch by bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be fishing aboard a 25' Grady-White cuddy cabin with space for 5 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Jim's Dream Charter Fishing, feel free to send Capt. Jim a message down below.

Captain and first mate were so personable and had an absolute blast fishing with them. First mate catered to us and kept us laughing all day. Took us a couple different spots on the bayside and inlet. Will definitely book again next time we come down.
