Drag Taker Fishing Charter

Drag Taker Fishing Charter’s mission is to provide you with a safe, enjoyable, and productive fishing trip under the guidance of Captain Greg Brown. He strives to tailor each trip to your individual needs no matter if you’re looking to fill your cooler with tasty fish or chase trophy game fish. Captain Greg uses his experience to make your trip memorable, no matter how skilled of an angler you are. Join him in Newport News and make fishing memories that last a lifetime.

The boat you’ll use for fishing is a 22’ Sea Pro center console that can fit up to 6 anglers comfortably. It’s powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine and uses all the modern fish finders, GPS, radio, as well as radar technology for reaching your fishing spots quickly and efficiently. The boat features 6 insulated ice-boxes so you can store your fish, a multimedia system to make your trip even more enjoyable, and a livewell for keeping live bait.

The species you and Captain Greg will go after are King George Whiting, Striped Bass, Flounder, Scup, Amberjack, Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, and many more. You can attract them by bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, as well as drifting, all using light tackle. You’re free to keep your catch if you want to.

Captain Greg will take care of fishing licenses. You should bring your bait, snacks, and drinks. Fishing rods and bait are available for purchase and rental. Kids over 6 are welcome to join aboard and smoking and alcohol are not allowed during the trip.

Pay a visit to Drag Taker Fishing Charter and have a wonderful fishing experience in Virginia!

    This is a 5-hour cat fishing charter that provided anglers of all ages to catch catfish. Our goal is to fill coolers, not hunt trophies, even though it may seem like it. No coolers are allowed and please no sunflower seeds. Our trips max out with 6 anglers and we limit each angler to 1 pole. This is to ensure everyone on board has a good time. We will postpone all charters in the event the weather drops below 50 degrees. We launch from Hopewell Marina in Hopewell, VA.
