We couldn’t leave the island without giving our grandson a fishing experience. He loves to fish and that is all he talked about all week. With a stroke of luck and some divine intervention, the captain had an opening for a morning 2-hour trip. We honestly didn’t care what he caught. If it swam and had fins, then the little one would be happy. Pap and daddy put in their request and the Captain delivered!!! They all really enjoyed the experience and Captain James has a new little friend. This man has a great personality, he is awesome with the kids, very knowledgeable and entertaining. My husband and I are now planning a flounder trip just for us! We are highly satisfied and it was no effort to give a solid 5 stars.
Thanks Jeanette the group was awesome today. I'm glad the little man enjoyed and big men . Hope to see you again. Captain James
Captain James was fantastic. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a charter. The boat was super clean and we had a lot of room so you didn’t feel packed like sardines. He was super patient, entertaining and engaging with the kids. He answered any of the questions that we had. He is super knowledgeable about the area. We were always catching bait fish while we waited for a shark or a ray to bite. We caught 2 stingrays both fights were filled without of action and moving around the boat. We will be booking another trip with captain James when we come back.
Thanks Matthew the kids did great . Hope to see you next time.
We had such an amazing time with Captain James. His knowledge and experience took us to some really nice spots. We caught a little bit of everything, nothing that we could keep in size range, but we didn't care. Our 12-year-old son had a blast fishing with Captain James. He was very helpful and really cheered us on to catch the big ones. Cannot wait to book another charter with him in the near future for shark. Highly recommend this charter, even if you don't catch anything you will most definitely have a fun time with Captain James and learn a lot about the island.
Thanks Jason I greatly appreciate it. I like to have fun. Hope to see you back soon. Thanks Captain James
I had a trip with Shore Chaos on 4/17/26. We wanted to target flounder and the cpt said no problem. Fishing started off slow with just one flounder first thing. Sometimes it goes that way. Just as we were about to head in the fish turned on and we caught three within a ten minute window. Should have booked PM lol. Me and the boys were in town for a three day turkey hunt at Pockomoke State Forest. Cpt took the the time to share his knowledge of the area and give us some pins of where to go. 2/3 of us harvested a bird the next morning. So we not only caught our flounder but also got some bonus turkeys (big ol toms). I would recommend Shore Chaos to anyone, just not the Friday before turkey season, cuz I'll be there next year too.
thanks I appreciate it come see me anytime.
Had an awesome trip with our captain James, my son, and my dad. James was knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to find the fish. The highlight was watching my son hook into a shark, with our captain coaching him through the fight. It was an unforgettable day for three generations, and we’ll definitely fish with him again.
Thanks Radcliff I appreciate it. Hope to to next year.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Born and raised on the Eastern Shore, I've spent most of my time fishing on the Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay. At a young age, I fell in love with saltwater fishing and never let go. I started fishing the bay and the tributaries of the Chesapeake, then ended up recreational fishing offshore for 17 years, eventually returning to the bay, where my true passion has lied for the last 24 years. In 2019, I received my captain's license, and now I have chosen to share some of the awesome sunsets and fishing experiences that the Chesapeake Bay has to offer.
