Fresh Virginia Fishing Reports

Spend the money and go Fishing book the 8 hour or better excursions they are more but you get what you pay for. And nothing is guaranteed in fishing so why not up your chances of landing quality sized fish where fewer boats travel.

No guarantees in November, but we had an amazing trip with amazing success! TY Capt Tim!

The only luck we had was offshore. We fished the beach and off a dock on Monroe bay trying for small rockfish or perch but we didn’t get a bite. 20-25’ deep seemed to be the sweet spot

From what Capt said, spring and early summer is best fishing time for kids. Still was a wonderful trip and we did catch some good fish!

Manage your expectations for what fish may be in season and enjoy the time with your family, friends, and the outdoors.

Yes. Certain fish are biting while others were not. Speckled trout were biting well.

The captain and first mate were great. The fish didn’t want to cooperate fully but fish were caught by everyone aboard. Seeing the crab pots worked and then going into the flat to dig clams were also good experiences. So don’t be afraid of trying the afternoon adventure.

Very informative on all aspects of fishing this area of coastline. We were all from different areas of the country on a business trip. Spectacular weather and nice seas.

Definitely take a charter on the river. It was great. We rented a small cottage near the marina which has also been wonderful. The owners were terrific and I and my son were celebrating my birthday at the same time we were here and the neighbors Hol told me happy birthday as well. They haul a balloon on my mailbox when I got back from fishing. The one in colonial Beach has been really nice. The restaurants in the food have been great. I definitely will come back.

Be prepared for weather. Bring a pair of binoculars for spotting ocean wildlife.

Just come prepared to have a great time and catch fish. Listen to your captain and try to learn from his experience. Makes for a great day.

Talk to locals about seasonal fish... find a good boat captain to get you to hook up.

Come ready to have some fun . Lots of stuff to do before and after fishing as well.

Great place to bring beginners and veteran! Cap will do his best to put you on the fish!

It was thought to catch what we were looking for. The Captain and mate were upfront with the possibility of not catching targeted fish due to weather. But we still had fun and enjoyed the trip.

Expect to have a great time as long as the weather & tide are on your side.

Have to say — Rudee Inlet is ideal if you want to get off the dock and, in less than 15 minutes, on to 42 feet of gorgeous water with the year round chance of a variety of fish.

Get a local to take you. The bay is shallow and you need someone to help you figure out where to go. CPT Craig told me where to go fishing after our charter and we caught fish there too.

Enjoy the moment. Water, fish, sun, breeze, eagles, osprey, and nature in general

Chincoteague has all of the charm of a small beach town island without the presumptuous and stiffy entitlement that comes along with many other beach towns. The fisherman of Chincoteague are salt of the Earth type people who are kind, helpful, and will bend over backward to make your day on the water memorable!
