We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Pete’s Fish Tales! My 10-year-old son and I had a blast fishing for flounder—we caught several, took a couple home, and learned a lot along the way. The captain was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. Being out on the water near Chincoteague was beautiful, and spotting dolphins made it even more special. Highly recommend this charter for a great family-friendly fishing adventure!

I am quite new to fishing. I only caught 1 fish in total over the past couple months. Me and my friends had made plans to go to Wallops for a fishing trip.

My family helped in booking me and my friends a fishing charter as a graduation gift. I was very happy with the result.

First off, the person leading us on this charter, Jed Messinger, was a really fun person to be around. The trip with him was very light, his humour was on point, and he was very helpful and patient. (Especially for me because I was very inexperienced with fishing compared to my friends.)

Secondly, the ride itself on the boat was very fun. Sure we got blasted with water and bumped around by the waves a bit, but hey, ain’t that the life of an ocean fisher.

Finally, I wasn’t really expecting to catch much on this charter. I’ve only caught one fish in my whole line of fishing with my buddies so I wasnt that confident that I would catch anything. Boy was I thrown for a loop. We were catching fish left and right and get this each of my friends got to reel and hold a shark including me!! A SHARK!!

TLDR: I had a wonderful time! I highly recommend Jed Messinger for anyone else fishing (he was awesome). The boat ride was fun, and I got to catch a shark along with several fish.

This was definitely money well spent.

AM Shark trip w Capt Chris. Excellent trip, tho no sharks were caught. Colder than normal water, weather (Hurricane Ernesto offshore) and maybe pupping season kept the sharks away, and even the Croakers weren’t biting. It’s Fishing, not Catching after all… Still had a great time on the boat, and Cpt Chris is fun and knowledgeable. He tried hard to put us on fish, but they weren’t biting. We’ve gone w FishTales for many years (Channel, offshore and now Sharks) and always a great time. Thanks! See you next year!

Slow day for catching flounder, but we did get a couple (too small and we had to throw them back), but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort on the crews part. More clams than we can eat in a week, and even a half dozen crab. All of this while keeping it fun and striking up good conversation. Will do it again every chance I get.
