What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Hampton, Virginia for the first time?

Whether you’re a first-timer or a repeat customer, you should definitely use Chasin’ Wake Charters. Capt. Wayne Webb and his crew mate were phenomenal hosts and seemed as if they had known us for many years. We’re excited about the prospect of using this charter service again in the near future.

I was amazed at the marine life in the Hampton area of the Chesapeake Bay. I saw more fish of various species in one day than I could have imagined. Red and black drum, spade fish, cobia, sheepshead, cutlassfish, dolphins (by the dozens), and even a sea turtle up close to the boat. The Bay water was beautiful, clean, and clear. If you ever go out once, you will be hooked for life.

When it is warmer, you’ll get better results! The fish are biting , but with the wind & cold air … it’s better to wait until about March/April to get back up and running!

Hampton is a great place! Have fished Lower Bay and CCBT for over 30 years! Would not recommend Reel Blessed Fishing under any circumstances.

Waters can be a little rougher than down south; water isn't as clear(might effect bait); and try to be flexible/patient. Warm and cold currents can move the fish constantly.

Go in with low expectations. We had a fantastic day but the season has been hard this year. Not every trip will yield a big catch.

Make sure to wear proper shoes and listen to advice given by your Captain and first mate. Also use sunscreen and most importantly, just have fun.

Spanish were hitting pretty well for our trip. Good for a sure catch. Support your local private charters.

It was great. We got to experience a small rainstorm and had some great fishing!

Go with the expectations of just having a great experience not so much catching a bunch of fish.

Always bring a hat and long sleeve shirt and a positive attitude and get ready to have some fun.

You never know the weather when boosts trip. And the wind did not play in our favor
