Tremendous fishing experience!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 20252 adults1 child
Bruce and the Salt Addict were fantastic! We journeyed out about 3 miles into the Atlantic Ocean and fished on top of these sunken subway cars that had a plethora of fish. The ride out was a little long and choppy but he told us it was worth it and he was correct. On the way out Capt Bruce pointed out shark, rocket launch sites and other interesting sites. On the way back we saw a huge pod of dolphins and when we got back to shore, he had a little tacklebox with candy for my son and a t-shirts. While we were fishing, he was on the spot, baiting our hooks and very patient with us, he did not once to make me feel like the land loving greenhorn that I most definitely am!!! It really was a tremendous experience

Great first experience for my family
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 11, 20263 adults
We booked a 4 hour trip starting at 7am. Captain Bruce was there and ready when we arrived. We only caught one very nice 22” flounder. The captain made the trip very enjoyable. When we come back to Chincoteague we will go fishing again with Captain Bruce.

Great trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 6, 20252 adults
Bruce was a great captain. He had a plan to run out a little further to put us on fish but with a storm coming in the ocean had kicked up bigger waves and made run time to the original location much longer than anticipated. Bruce quickly made a new plan to fish inland another location and put us on fish. When fishing slowed down he gave us a nice tour around the island to show us some things we wouldn’t have seen from land. Great time on the water. Highly recommend! Thanks Bruce!
