Captain
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.
Techniques: Trolling, wreck fishing, sight fishing.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)

We were early to arrive at the boat, but off we went for a longer trip. We caught many fish. Some were just a little too small so back in they went. We’ll catch them next time! Captain and First Mate were awesome. We will definitely be multi repeat customers!

Captain Chuck got us set up over the largest school of spade fish I have ever seen. Caught some Black Sea Bass but they were not in season so they are back at the wreck waiting for another angler. Great trip with my family. Thank you Captain Chuck and Tim for a great morning.

Thank you so much. I feel like I should be leaving you guys a review… you guys were amazing. Can’t say enough great things about all of you. I had some great conversations with both of your sons (you raised some great young men). I hope Aiden had a great birthday. We’ll definitely get you guys out again soon. Thanks again, Capt Chuck.

My family had the best time on this charter!!! We came aboard as customers and left feeling like family. This was perfect for my 13 year old who pulled in a record number of Mack’s in about an hour. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I can’t say enough about you and your family. Jaden is an absolute fishing machine! If he ever needs a job in a couple of years, please look me up! I enjoyed every minute fishing with you guys! Next time, we will smash them even more.

10 Hour Trip – Offshore Mahi Mahi

Fishing with Chuck

VERIFIED

We had a good time out with Captain Chuck and his crew. We had unexpected weather come in that completely changed our day. Unfortunately we didn’t get to fish for the Mahi that we paid for. But Captain Chuck did put us onto some sea bass and tried to make up for this unfortunate event. Overall it would have been a perfect day if we were fishing for sea bass, but I paid for Mahi Mahi and didn’t even get to throw a line in the water and try. Hopefully we can come to an agreement and I’m not... More

I’m sorry you feel that way. We discussed with the weather pushing in and fog that offshore wreck fishing was an option. I’m not sure how that is false advertising. I’m sorry for any inconvenience.
