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

The fishing in Poquoson is fantastic, and you will catch multiple species. And, the scenery is beyond beautiful. You also don't have a long haul to the fishing grounds, so you get to spend more time catching than traveling. I whole heartedly recommend taking a trip here, and Marshland Expeditions will never fail to please.

First recommendation: don't go when the water is too cold or the current is too strong. Second recommendation: don't have only one day you can go, that way you can reschedule as the weather shifts. None of these recommendations or my rating are meant to reflect on Poquoson or the crew I fished with. They did warn me about the weather conditions, but as my vacation was only a few days that was literally the only day I could go. So the three stars is meant as a general "hey, my experience indicates this may not be the best time of year for first-timers to head out on the water."

We had great weather and calm water until near the end of the day when a sudden thunderstorm blew in. Great variety of fish in the area, and booking Fin-Atic Sportfishing Charters is the way to get the most out of it.

Sonny knows every inch of the Poquoson River and if the fish are biting, he'll find them for you. Great guy and fun to spend a day with.

The fishing for Spanish Mackerel was great. We also caught a few Croaker, but they were small.
