Great family fishing trip!
Coastal Bay Flounder Chincoteague on June 19, 20263 adults1 child

What a great fishing trip! captain Joe with Reel Adventures was more than accommodating when our planned morning trip got rained out he didn't hesitate and offered to fish that afternoon. Joe was very knowledgeable with fishing techniques and was quick to rig and help re bait our lines. he did great putting us on the fish!! we wanted to catch flounder and we did do that! we landed over a dozen flounder! i definitely plan to book another trip!

Reported catch:
Flounder

Coastal Bay Flounder Chincoteague - 1:00 PM on July 16, 20261 adult2 children

Captain Joe did an excellent job getting us on some good flounder. My 6 and 8 year old had a great time and we highly recommend him! He is extemely friendly and knows where to find the fish. We will definitely book him again when we are back in Chincoteague!
