If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in Virginia Beach, look no further than Back Bay Fishing Charters and Eco Tours.
The fish in these waters include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Flounder, and more if you come at the right time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. If the kids or adults want to have an exciting time we can jug for catch fish which is a non stop good time for everyone.
You'll be dropping lines from a 21' Bay Stealth flats boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Zachary will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Back Bay Fishing Charters and Eco Tours.

5 Hour Trip (AM)
The day I’d booked weeks ago for my 9 year old’s birthday gift (this charter) turned out to be very windy and the water was lower than it’s been in years. Nonetheless, Capt Zach clearly has a lifetime of fishing these waters and got us out (the only boat out) and into some great spots where we caught a lot of great fish. His equipment, tackle, bait, and rigs was perfect for each stop we made. FAR BETTER than some massive charter boat with crowds and limited routes. Zach was confident and adapted to the days conditions which made for a great day and birthday memory my boy with remember forever.

I took my 17 year old and my 12 year old out with Zach and it was a great/unique experience. One of the great things about Zach is that he is knowledgeable about the area and customized our trip to ensure everyone had a great time! Zach took us to a little hidden gem where we were able to get off the boat and do some swimming! Snacks and water were provided as well! I highly recommend booking a charter with Zach!
