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!

Shark Trip – Private (AM)
An Absolutely Amazing Fishing Adventure!
Just got back from a fishing trip and it was truly an incredible experience for the whole family! My son and daughter had the time of their lives – they were absolutely thrilled to catch multiple sharks! Seeing their faces light up with each catch was priceless. Beyond the sharks, they also reeled in tons of other cool little fish, keeping them engaged and excited throughout the entire trip. The crew was fantastic, incredibly helpful, and made sure everyone had a blast. We had an amazing time and I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a memorable and fun fishing adventure for their family. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful morning on the water in Chincoteague
My family and I had a fantastic morning out on the water! The captain and crew were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also friendly and easy to talk to. My kids were thrilled to catch fish especially my daughter, who has had a tough season and finally landed some catches on this trip! We enjoyed a great variety of fish, explored the island’s ins and outs, spotted wild ponies, and even got a hands-on lesson about crab pots and crabs. We cruised around to different parts of the island and were taken to a beautiful, secluded beach where we spent a relaxing afternoon. This was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We’re already looking forward to trying some of the other excursions they offer the next time we visit Chincoteague!

Happy 16th Birthday
This was part of our daughter's 16th birthday and we all had a blast. Everyone caught plenty of fish, a few to keep (which forest mate cleaned), and some amazing memories. Connor was a great captain who made sure we were catching and if we weren't we moved right away. Kevin the first mate was the best. He was on top of getting our fish and bait taken care of. They truly made our day and also made us feel like family. We will be back!

Best fishing trip ever!
The crew at Fish Tales took my family of 5 out on the Chincoteague inlet this morning and man did we connect with the fish! Constant action and a nice variety of fish. Lots of kingfish and croakers among some others. My kids especially liked reeling in a massive southern sting ray and almost a second. The crew were professional, fun and great with our family. We’ll be booking again next time we’re down. I give Fish Tales my highest recommendation 10/10!
