Chincoteague Bay Adventures offers customizable and affordable family fun fishing trips to serve any angler's need. All trips are private, so you'll always have the whole boat for your group only! If you would like to fish in these Virginia and Maryland waters (convenient to Ocean City, MD,) and have fun onboard with a polite and friendly captain, look no further!

These waters are home to a variety of species, including sharks. Captain Tim knows how to find fish and make your trip memorable. If you want a snippet of action, have a look at some of the fishing reports he's written.

Capt. Tim is a certified fly fishing guide and casting instructor trained at ORVIS-endorsed Hubbard Guide School in Emigrant, Montana. He works with anglers to explain why the fish feed where they feed and how your method will entice them. So, it's not just doing, it's also understanding, and then doing it better.

You will join the captain aboard his historic 22' Jones Brothers Bateau skiff, restored in 2017. 'Shadrunner' can accommodate up to six people, and take them fishing around flats, nearshore, inshore, and backcountry waters. The boat is equipped with a fishfinder and GPS, has a cooler, and a bathroom is always nearby.

You can go spinning, jigging, drift fishing, fly fishing, or bottom fishing, and depending on what you're targeting, use heavy or light tackle. Depending on the season, there is Shark (catch and release only), Redfish, Striped Bass, Cobia, Flounder, and many more. You can customize your trip to suit you, your family, friends, or fellow anglers.

Capt. Tim has a cooler to store your catch so that you can have a tasty meal afterwards, once he cleans your fish. The captain will provide you with rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait, and will take care of the fishing license. You can also choose to release your catch.

Pack your necessities, grab snacks and drinks, bring a camera, and hop on your adventure around Chincoteague

Captain Tim Didn’t stop trying
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing on May 25, 20262 adults
Even though the storms had churned things up and made for a poor flounder catching day, Captain Tim took us to several spots and made for an enjoyable day. Tim did catch one so we came home with dinner. We like that it is only 2-4 person tour and the cost is reasonable for the two of us. Captain is knowledgeable, considerate and pleasant. Highly recommend!

This trip with Captain Tim was our first and certainly will not be our last! Our family had a wonderful time and the weather could not have been better. Captain Tim went above and beyond to bring a great experience to our short vacation and we definitely plan to book again with him on our next trip to Chincoteague!

Great Knowledgeable Captain!
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing on March 19, 20262 adults
Captain Tim is all about fishing and although we did not catch any fish due water temps in the 40s (Spring Break was early this year), Captain Tim knows fishing and has an in-depth understanding of the Chincoteague area and where the fish are. Most importantly we had a great time getting to know and spending time with Captain Tim and that is why we'll be repeat customers!

Great, experience exploring the islands in the cold of winter.
Fall Sportsfishing on December 22, 20253 adults
It's called fishing and not catching for a reason - we wanted the experience of being out on the bay in winter, and we got it. We knew going out, that if we caught any fish, it would be a miracle. The temperature was 38 degrees, and nothing was biting, but we had a fantastic time,and ended up getting several dozen clams that I turned into an amazing clam bisque.
