Chincoteague Island Fishing Reports

Keep expectations about fish realistic. But experience great

Check with locals on the hot fishing spots and bring plenty of bug spray.

Sharks were biting the best this morning, there were storms the week before we arrived. So I believe the water was a bit chilly. Was fun fighting sharks though!

We arrived in 80 degree weather on May 23rd. On 24th and 25th it was rainy and cool in 60s!!! Be flexible in dress.

Only in Chincoteague for trip not sure what else is around

Awesome time! If you want shark come a little earlier... Trout or other cold water fish come a little later.

We didn’t catch a ton of big fish, but we did catch plenty.

More recomend clamming it's a blast but the fishing is good as well. We just didnt get on to many but that's all good.

On top of sunscreen and a small cooler, bring a gym towel for your face and hands. If going clamming, extra socks and a pair of sandals for after.

Use a variety of bait; Book a charter boat to get the best experience (wider area= more chance of catching 'the big one'.
