Captain Tim's Chincoteague Bay Adventures
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

Kristen Queen5.0VerifiedNewFish were on and we had one heckuva good time!
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing on October 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childThis is one of the best decisions I have made: booking a charter with Captain Tim. He was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone, especially our fishing-obsessed 13-year-old son, had a great experience. Throughout our trip, we got to see some beautiful back-channel sides of Chincoteague and Wallops. Capt. Tim had us on the fish and moved us around for some prime opportunities to try different baits and techniques for different fish. We had fish on throughout the trip: speckled trout, a couple of bluefish, and some flounder, all firsts for us! While none were keepers, it was an outstanding trip, and my only regret is not having booked a second trip while we were staying on Chincoteague. Needless to say, we are all looking forward to returning and being back aboard the 'Shadrunner' with Capt. Tim again very soon! Do yourself a favor and do the same.
Samuel Kinney5.0Verified2 Sharks!
Family Fun Fishing P.M. on July 17, 2026 • 2 adultsCaltain Tim was awesome! He listened to what we were looking for and he delivered! I wanted to catch sharks and my girlfriend wanted to see ponies. We caught one 30lb Dusky Shark and one 40lb Sandbar Shark. He then took us around the island in search of ponies with some fishing along the way. 10/10 would recommend fishing with Captain Tim, he’s clearly an expert.

4 Hour Trip (AM) – Private Fishing on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a very memorable time catching flounder. And Captain Tim was awesome at showing us how to fish for flounder. and we were able to catch some even though the fishing was tough that day. We definitely will be back and are hoping to make this a yearly trip.
