    Core Family Memory in a 2hr trip!

    2 hr inshore fishing • 4 adults • 2 children

    Fantastic evening on the water with Captain Bob and E! Family of 4 from WV, taking our two boys (11 & 9) out on the water for their first time. We instantly started catching Bluefish trolling out into the water and while the Mackrel were evading everyone tonight, our team made sure our boys made an everlasting memory for their first trip by hooking into a Sand Tiger shark! We also caught a couple Toadfish randomly as well! The sights were abundant as the captain put us right by swimming dolphins. We also saw some rays swimming about. Our experience was truly top notch and enjoyable. We would highly recommend letting Captain Bob and Catherine C Charters take care of your fishing needs for your next trip. We are already looking forward to our next family trip with them! Thanks again Captain Bob & E!!

    Great All Around Charter!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore fishing am • 2 adults

    We signed up on an unseasonably chilly, overcast & rainy spring day so the fish weren’t biting. But Bob and his crewmate worked hard to find us a spot where the fish would cooperate but without any luck. We chose this charter for the good ratings & great things people had to say about Bob - and we’re glad we did! Bob was welcoming from the moment we arrived & apologized when the fish & the weather didn’t cooperate. Mother Nature had other plans. But we will be back! Probably a little closer to summer next time. I was in the area visiting my son who works for the Local 10 Union. We are from Michigan, so we were happy to be out on the water & just glad it wasn’t snowing! We still highly recommend Bob & this charter, no question 👍

    Great Captain & Crew Recommend 12 out of 10

    6 hr fishing • 5 adults • 2 children

    It was a great day on the water, captain took us to a new spot after having a slow start to the week. We started catching quickly, after putting several Spanish Mackeral in the cooler, captain was determined to take us out and catch a big one. We got to experience it all. Catching a big one, reeling fish after fish in the boat and even caught a couple species that I had never seen. it was an amazing day spent with a knowledgeable captain and a first mate who hustled so hard to help us catch all the fish we could! definately recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    Highlight of our trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore fishing am • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Bob and the first mate were beyond great to my family. They catered to a group of mostly first timers on a charter boat, including my 6 year old son. They were patient and helpful every step of the way. Not only did my son get an experience in catching many fish (30+ makerel, and a 6-foot shark!), he also got an education in boating from captain Bob. We are grateful and appreciative! We would recommend this charter to anyone looking to enjoy a day of fishing, especially those that have a family with linited experience.

What's biting with Catherine C. Charters in Virginia Beach

October is most certainly fall, and you will find the cooler temperatures agree. But if fall means one thing in Virginia Beach, it's Stripers. The best thing is, most of the summer species are still around, too.
