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

The trip was great, but May is not a good time. The fishing is slow, but before May and after May would be great. We happened to be right in between the right times to go. However, the weather and the boat ride were beautiful.

End of season fishing for flounder water is getting too warm and a storm kicked up the bay but we caught some small striped bass(rock), sea trout and spot. But what a surprise when I hooked a 4 ft. Dusky Shark which really put up quite a fight. I had never experienced anything quite like that and Captain Tim talked me through it until I finally got the shark to the side of the boat for him to lift into the boat ...Wow!!

Might wait till the waters warm up a bit. But then the crowds will be there too. We enjoyed the quieter waters.

Book with FishTales you can't go wrong . There's a lil bit of everything out there and that's what fishtales will do ,get you on them

Good variety of fish to bring up. Croaker, pigfish, fluke, spot, kingfish. Keeps your lines tugging while you wait for the shark line to pull.
