Salty Hooker Charters runs daily out of Cape Charles Harbor in Cape Charles Virginia, 23310. We fish the lower Chesapeake Bay wherever the bite is on. Captain Jon will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing on the lower Chesapeake.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28' Grady White 282 Sailfish. The Salty Hooker is equipped with a new Rhodan trolling motor in 2026, state of the art Lowrance electronics, and twin 200 HP Yamaha outboards. There are plenty of places to sit and store your belongings. The lower cabin has a sitting area and table, and an enclosed bathroom. For cold weather fishing we have an enclosed helm area and cabin with a heater.

Smoking and Alcohol are allowed.

All fishing licenses required, fishing poles, tackle, bait, and the ice for bait and fish is Included in the price. So you can focus on what really matters, fishing. The crew will clean, fillet, and bag your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Salty Hooker Charters.

No fish but great day

4 Hour Seasonal Trip PM on June 21, 2025 • 4 adults

We went to several locations and the fish were not biting. The Captain stayed past the time to try to ensure we got fish. But the day was beautiful. We slipped on about 3/4 fish that we could not get on the boat by simple mistakes. However we caught a shark.
