White Lightning Chincoteague Fishing Charters

Chincoteague Fishing Adventures to Suit All Budgets

INSHORE FISHING

We offer near-shore and bay fishing charters aboard our 23’ center console to fish for flounder, sea bass, tautog, striped bass (rockfish), croaker, bluefish, whiting, and sharks.

We offer a variety of inshore trips ranging from 4 hours to 8 hours in length. We can modify trip lengths and departure times to meet your needs. Please call regarding special requests.

We can also view Chincoteague’s wild ponies and sometimes see pods of dolphin feeding in the inlet on these trips, making this a great experience for family outings.

OFFSHORE FISHING

If you’re looking for deep-sea fishing charter boats in Chincoteague Virginia you’ll want to charter our 40’ sportfish for a day in the offshore canyons or fishing deep water wrecks.

On these trips we fish for tuna, marlin, swordfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tilefish, sharks, and sea-bass.

Offshore fishing charters typically range from 10 hours to 12 hours in length. We also offer 28 hour overnight trips upon special request.
