Aug 9, 2026 Chincoteague
As the heat of summer bears on, the one fish we can count on is the croaker. For the next three weeks we are helping young anglers get a taste of competitive fishing with the "captain Steves Youth Croaker Tournament" this is a non-profit fish for fun open to all anglers under 16. Currently Chincoteague Bay Adventure anglers are in first and second place. Elsewhere, the redfish have slowed, waiting for trout to arrive, and flounder are still making it to the cutting board. See you out there, Aloha!

Jul 26, 2026 Chincoteague
As the comfortable cool temperatures continue, the sharks are still biting, with most of the action focused on the inlet and oceanfront. Croakers, spot and whiting provide a steady stream of bait, as well as some excellent table fare. Large redfish are about, providing trophy opportunities. Look for speckled trout and puppy drum to make their appearance in the coming weeks.

As we move into the dog days of summer, the flounder are staging a return to nearshore waters. Hopefully the moderate temperatures will continue and the bite will carry into August. Elsewhere, the panfish and shark bite continues at the inlet and nearshore ocean. Trout and puppy drum should begin to show in the next few weeks. July is fully booked but there are openings in August. See you on the water, Aloha!

The annual Captain Steve's Flounder Tournament is off to a fast start. Opening day we put one fish on the board. We continue to look for that exceptional doormat. The current leader at 5 1/2 pounds has set the bar high. Tournament runs through this Sunday, May 4th. If you'd like to get in on the fun and competition I do have a few slots open this week. Hope to see you out there, Aloha!

Flounder fishing gets an early start as the numbers per trip climb with almost two weeks to go to the big tournament. We will enjoy a few more weeks perhaps of cool mornings and no bugs before the summer rush arrives. See you out there, Aloha!

March Madness! An Early Start For Flound
March Madness! An Early Start For Flound
Mar 19, 2026 Chincoteague
First flounder caught in Chincoteague (or anywhere really) this year, goes to yours truly. The flounder, a solid 19 incher, was caught March 19th, about 10 days earlier than normal. Although it is still cool and the bite is overall slow, Shadrunner is all spruced up and ready to work. April still has a few open dates but now that fish are showing things will book up fast. We'll be looking for large Black Drum and Stripers out by the surf starting next week. So bundle up and get your spring break on, see you on the water. Aloha!

Great boat for fishing- lots of horizontal surfaces for sitting and fishing, stable in the water. Bimini top to keep you cool.
