Chincoteague Island Fishing Seasons

January

The winter months can be slim pickings along Virginia’s coast, but there are always some tasty treats if you know where to find them. Tautog and Tilefish are just that, and are around all year.

February

Black Seabass are open for a short winter harvest in February. You need a special permit to fish for them this month, but there are always Tautog about if you don’t have one.

March

The first few Flounder start to show up in March, as do the first Striped Bass. Add in even better numbers of tasty Tautog and you won’t even notice that Seabass are closed for harvest.

April

The season really gets going in April! Tautog hit their peak and Flounder start biting harder and harder. Offshore, the first few Sharks and Tuna start to show up around spots like the Parking Lot.

May

The Chincoteague Seafood Festival has been getting people uncomfortably full for half a century and is well worth a visit. May 1st-15th is trophy Striped Bass season.

June

Take part in the Chincoteague Flounder Tournament for your chance to score a huge, winner-takes-all prize! Even if you don’t top the list, you’ll still have some delicious flatfish.

July

The Chincoteague Pony Swim is the biggest event of the year. Wild horses are brought across to the mainland for their yearly auction, and locals gather to celebrate these majestic creatures.

August

The warm waters bring a staggering range of species to town in August. Tuna, Sharks, Mahi Mahi, and more show up offshore, alongside huge Amberjack, Tilefish, and much, much more.

September

The Shark bite drops off by fall, but that just means less chance of something eating your catch! Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna are still around, as are Flounder, Redfish, Seabass, and more inshore.

October

If you fancy trying a dozen different ways to enjoy shellfish, the Chincoteague Oyster Festival is for you. If you don’t, Trout, Flounder, and Seabass are all in season. Yellowfin are still biting at the Canyons.

November

Many species drop off by November, but not all of them! Striped Bass are in their prime, as are Black Seabass and Tautog. You can sometimes find Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna offshore.

December

The annual Christmas Parade brings the town to life, with marching bands, floats, and plenty of seasonal cheer. Join in or escape onto the water to battle big Striped Bass.
