Captain Pete's Fish Tales
Sign up with Captain Pete's Fish Tales if you're looking for an unforgettable angling adventure out of Chincoteague Island. Captain Pete Wallace has been fishing here for more than 25 years and knows these waters like the back of his hand. He welcomes anglers of all ages and skill levels and will do his best to show you what makes fishing around here so great.
His boat is a 24' Carolina Skiff that runs on a single 140 HP Suzuki engine and will get you to the fishing grounds in no time. It has a canopy top that will keep you in the shade and a seating area where you can catch your breath and relax. There's enough room on the boat for up to 6 anglers, so be sure to bring along the rest of the family for the trip.
Fishing for Sharks is Capt. Pete's specialty, but there are plenty of other species in the sea that you can find. These include Flounder, kingfish, Spanish mackerel, and plenty more. Most of the time you'll be bottom fishing, and drifting, but you're welcome to fly fish if you bring your own fly gear.
Conventional fishing gear and live bait caught during your trip are included in the price. Not only that, but your first mate will clean all your catch after the trip so you don't have to worry about it later. Come on down and create your own tale with Captain Pete's Fish Tales!

we have been coming to Chincoteague for 7 years, and we have had the pleasure of booking with Captain Pete's Fishtales 5 of those years. They are always outstanding to do business with. we have booked Ll of the adventures, and have enjoyed all of them, whether we caughtfish or not. The crew alays make the trip. We have ha Captain Andrew and Captain Jed several times now, and it is always an awes experience. Today we did a 4 hour shark adventure with Captain Jed. Although we did not catch any sharks, it was exciting when the lines got a hit and dragged. All members of our party caught 4 or more fish, which definitely made the experience so much more fun. At the end of the day, we all walked away with a smile on our face.
We had a great time shark fishing. We went on a 4-hour outing with Jeb (the captain) 8am-12pm. We caught Kingfish, Spot, Trout, and Croaker. Actually, we had such a good time with Jeb. we asked if we could take the next spot from 1pm-5pm. On this trip, we caught more of the same. The weather went a little sideways for a moment but ended up clearing out fast. We would absolutely recommend Captain Petes Fish Tales to anyone who loves fishing and enjoys great conversation with a very knowledgeable and friendly captain (Jeb).
We had a productive and enjoyable day on the water with Capitan Andrew and his deck hand. They brought us to the fish and explained to us the techniques they were using to help us catch fish. Additionally, both were very knowledgeable, personable and fun to be around. I’ve chartered several fishing boats from Hawaii to Key West and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I highly recommended Captian Pete’s and will seek them out for our next excursion in Chincoteague!
This was a great trip for myself and two kids! We did some fishing, crabbing, clamming, sightseeing, and got mussels. Saw pods of dolphins right up next to the boat for some great pictures! He took us to the lighthouse, the old airstrip, and explained different parts of the area we had never heard nor seen before. John was a great captain and guide! Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone that doesn’t want to sit waiting for fish or to try something new! 10 out of 10!
My Marine Corps friends and I took this fishing trip back in 2019 and had a blast. This time in 2026 the kids were older and we took them with us and had even more fun! We went caught some crabs, then went fishing for flounder, then did some clam digging and picked up some muscles. We caught some skates and caught some flounder that was big enough to keep. We look forward to doing this trip again next time we come down. Highly recommend it!
