Captain Pete's Fish Tales
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!

4 Hour Trip – Private (AM)
Phenomenal experience!!
Captain Andrew and first mate Kevin were an absolute joy to fish and go clamming with. Our family did a 4 hour adventure with our 3 children (ages 5, 7, & 10) and my 70 year old mother. We all loved digging for clams and exploring the shore creatures. The boat ride alone was a blast! The water was pretty choppy so we all got soaked; which the kids thought was the most fun.Fishing conditions weren’t great, but everyone was able to catch at least one fish. My husband even hooked a stingray, but unfortunately it got away. The team was so encouraging and patient with my kids. We can’t wait to get out there again. I highly recommend these great guys to anyone interested in a memorable experience filled with fishing, clamming, boating, exploring, and so much more. Thank you so much Andrew and Kevin.

An Unforgettable Family Adventure on the Water!
Our recent family fishing charter was an absolute highlight of our trip, thanks to the incredible team of Captain Andrew and First Mate Garrett. From start to finish, they guided us through a day packed with fun, learning, and plenty of fresh seafood! Captain Andrew and Garrett were both incredibly knowledgeable and patient, especially with our 4-year-old son. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the entire day. One of the most unique and enjoyable parts of our charter was the time we spent on the sandbar digging for clams. They even thoughtfully provided socks for my husband, our sons, and me, which was a huge plus and made the experience even more comfortable. Our little guy (4yo) had an absolute blast exploring the sandbar, happily discovering periwinkles and hermit crabs – it was truly magical to watch his excitement. After our sandbar adventure, we moved on to fishing, and then had the added bonus of picking up crabs from their crab pots. Our haul was fantastic: two large buckets brimming with fresh clams and about 25 crabs! Beyond the incredible experience on the water, Andrew and Garrett went above and beyond by providing invaluable advice on how to cook and process our catch so we could bring it all the way back to Pennsylvania to share with our family. This thoughtful touch truly made our charter an all-inclusive and memorable experience. We highly recommend this family fishing charter package to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and delicious day out on the water. Andrew and Garrett are a fantastic team, and we can't wait to book with them again!

4 Hour Trip – Private (PM)
Super Friendly Captain and Mate
Often, the people make the experience, and that certainly was the case here. We had less than cooperative weather and conditions, but we still managed to catch some fish. Captain Andrew and Ashley, the mate, were very friendly, and kept us entertained during the slow spots. They were a wealth of local knowledge and turned us on to great restaurants we may have otherwise missed, as well as things to do. The rods were new and in top shape, and we saw lots of dolphins that came around the area we were in. Would recommend this trip, especially if you have smaller kids that want to get out on the water.
