If you're ready to start fishing in Chincoteague, book a trip with Reed and Reel Fishing Company. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain William can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are known for Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Striped Bass, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Black Seabass, Cobia, Gray Triggerfish, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Kids are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Carolina Skiff with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. William has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be bottled water provided.
Now, time to hit the water with Reed and Reel Fishing Company!

Captain "Billy" Reed is one busy Dude. Charter Captain, professional firefighter/EMT, volunteer firefighter/EMT, Chincoteague Cowboy (pony wrangler), and volunteer for the Chincoteague Fireman's Carnival food services, not to mention a new father of a 3 month old daughter. Did I mention he's busy? Captain Billy's charter skills are on point: he's knowledgeable about fishing, birds, winds, water, ponies and local Chincoteague/watermen history. He made our trip a lot of fun. We caught flounder and a large ray. He quickly fileted the flounder and released the ray. Thanks Captain Billy.
It was a pleasure! thanks for choosing me, hope to see you soon
Once again loved going out fishing with Captain Billy. We know not to get our hopes up on catching certain fish, so catching 20+ spot, croaker, and others this trip was fine with us. This is who to book if you’re looking for someone who knows the island, its waters, and for great conversation. We’ll be back again next year!
you guys are the best!!!! cant wait till next year!
