Chuck Shelton

Member since October 2022 Virginia Beach, United States
Background
Captain Chuck grew up in the small fishing town of Bowers Beach, Delaware. As a young kid, he wanted to follow in his great-grandfather's footsteps and become a charter boat captain. He started his fishing career in Delaware Bay as an early teen his obsession has led him up and down the East Coast chasing all kinds of species of fish. With over 30 years of fishing experience, he has chosen Virginia Beach, Va. as his place to make his dream become reality in 2022. As much as he loves finding and catching fish himself, he ultimately loves sharing his knowledge and watching others catch fish, and having a memorable day on the water.
