AquaMan Sportfishing – Smack Down
28 years in business: If you're ready to experience fishing in Virginia Beach, we've got you covered with AquaMan Sportfishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Nolan can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are known for Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Cobia, Bluefish (Tailor), Shark, Spadefish, Black Seabass and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be dropping lines from a 46' Carman fishing boat with space for up to 18 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, 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.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Please bring a cooler with drinks, food and snacks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The captain and mate were personable and were great with our large group. They had us on the fish early with mackerel and blue fin. The day got even better when we hit a school of drum and had 4 to 5 fish hooked on all at once. The kids had a blast and i would recommend these guys to anyone looking to get out and bend a few poles.
Hey Bryan. I'm so glad the trip went well. Pretty work on the drum! Thanks for the great review. We'd be happy to have you aboard anytime!
Non-stop catching, which was the reult of the knowledgeable and super courteous crew. Impossible to improve on the service they provided to iur group. Caught over 70 mackerel. Really catered to young kids throught the trip. Dont hesitate to book with them!
Hi Ernest. Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We are so glad the fishing was good and that you enjoyed the crew. That do a great job! We would be happy to get you guys out anytime. Thanks agin!
it was a fun time, our kids enjoyed fighting the houndfish! we wish we could have got onto some drum instead of the mackerel…but its fishing! and a so-so day fishing beats the hell out of a good day working! the captain and first made were great people, and made the whole experience a good one!
Hey Chris. Thank you so much for the great review. Matt and Patch were bummed that you guys didn't run across the drum. We don't see them every time but we definitely try. I'm glad you guys made the best of it. Thanks again!
