Great morning on the flounder back in the marsh hiding from the wind. A passing storm this week will probably close out fishing Monday and Tuesday. Stay safe, stay tuna'd. Aloha

Change is in the air. Cool north breeze and shorter days mean sharks will be pulling out and stripers and reds will be moving in. Sept. 15 we will discontinue shark hunter and implement fall sports fishing. Check for rates and availability. Aloha

Sarah, Oliver and Jeff Smithson "Captain Tim runs a tight ship: His knowledge of the waters around Chincoteague is excellent. More importantly he treated my wife, my kid and me with great respect. Families looking for an empowering adventure should book a fishing trip with Captain Tim."

Two Fishing Booker charters on back to back days stay on the fish and keep the excitement up. Yesterday was Shark Hunters with Candie and family from York PA. Three Dusky sharks, one Atlantic Sharpnose shark, and a large Hammerhead made the trip with everyone aboard catching a shark. Sealife abounded with dolphins, pelicans, sea turtles and stingrays keeping us company. Today was joined by Carson and Dave (pictured) from Conn. for Sportsfishing outing. Had four Stripers to 18 inches, countless flounder to keeper size, and a number of small trout, sea bass, and ferocious bluefish. All caught casting jigs and spoons on light tackle.

Despite 8 inches of rain in the last two weeks, shark fishing remains strong. Bait moving outside the inlet keeps sharks and anglers focused. On the inside rockfish (striped bass) are showing on structure, portending an early fall.

After a string of tough days dealing with high winds, dirty waters and no fish (see review) today breaks loose with a hot and furious rockfish (striped bass) bite. Bait sprays and surface strikes kept it visual. Found a few hungry flounder in the afternoon to round out the day.
