    This 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.

Fishing in Virginia

Virginia's diverse waterways offer unparalleled freshwater and saltwater fishing experiences, with charters providing access to iconic rivers like the James and expansive coastal gems like the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Anglers target trophy smallmouth bass and catfish in scenic freshwater currents, while saltwater adventures yield striped bass, speckled trout, flounder, and cobia.

Offshore charters venture into deep waters for thrilling battles with yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, and marlin, while nearshore and inshore trips deliver red drum, sheepshead, and croaker. Virginia Beach serves as a prime hub for charters, with options ranging from half-day family outings to specialized expeditions targeting species like tautog or tilefish.

Whether casting in tidal rivers, exploring inland lakes such as Smith Mountain, or navigating the Chesapeake's rich estuaries, Virginia fishing charters combine accessibility with world-class opportunities. Year-round versatility—from tranquil river bends to adrenaline-fueled offshore drops—ensures every angler finds their ideal adventure amidst Virginia's ecologically rich landscapes.

    Fish were on and we had one heckuva good time!

    Book with Captain Tim. He's passionate about all kinds of angling, extremely knowledgeable, and does his best to put you on the fish. He was very keen on making sure our 13-year-old son had a wonderful time, as it was his first time inshore fishing on a boat and was a complete surprise up until we walked to the slip.

    A great family memory made.

    Don't eat before you go if you get motion sickness. Take nausea medicine at least an hour before. Bring waters to drink. Mostly, have fun!!

    The captain took the time to ask about what we wanted to target and if we want sport or game fish. he put us on fish at multiple spots. I would charter the Fintimidator again. An unexpected bonus was the continual flyovers from the local airbase.

    Captain Bull and Mike were very nice and worked hard to get on fish for our 11 & 12 year old boys. The conditions were rainy and breezy, but captain was game to keep pushing as long as we were. The new boat also provided comfortable shelter for Mom to nap. When fishing was slow for the rockfish we were hoping for, Captain Bull setup some bottom rigs to real in black sea bass and some frog fish one after another. Good times on the Chesapeake!

    Good trip overall. A bit disappointing we did not get into big fish. A recent nor'easter stirred up the water. We did get into plenty of black sea bass and a handful of trigger fish. The sea bass were running a bit small so half went back in the drink. Not the captain's fault. We will try it again next time.
