    Wreck Fishing β€’ 3 adults β€’ 1 child

    Capt. James communicated in advance excellent to ensure we would get the trip we hoped for. Mate Kevin was great especially with my 12 yr Grandson. We caught our limit so fast! Capt James put us on top of schools of fish. He didnt make us hang around when fish stopped biting. He moved us to another excellent spot on top of the fish! They were kind and respectful and made us feel at home on the boat! We gave extra $$ and Mate Kevn cleaned our huge haul in no time! Book this charter, you will love it.

    Great time

    Half day trip β€’ 2 adults

    Both Mike and James made this very enjoyable. I haven’t fished on a boat in over a decade so it took me a while to get use to it again. They made it fun helped me and gave me good advice, overall had a great time. Thanks to Mike and James I was able to catch the my first sport fish in 10 years. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in fishing. I look forward to the next opportunity to fish with them. Thanks captains James and Mike for a wonderful time fishing.

    Reported catch:
    Cobia
    Spanish Mackerel
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    Great day at Chesapeake Bay!

    Wreck Fishing β€’ 3 adults

    Captain James and First Mate Mike did a great job at putting us on the fish yesterday. We caught several Blues and Spanish Mackerel. We caught a few Cobia, but none big enough to put in the box. James and Mike definitely put in their best efforts to get us a keeper, but it just wasn’t our day. We will definitely go with them again if our travels bring us this way in the future!!!

What's biting with Goin Anyways SportFishing in Norfolk

There's no sign of the fish disappearing, despite the dwindling crowds. Make the most of the calmer waters and take advantage of the renewed Tuna bite offshore, along with plenty of inshore fishing delights.
