There’s nowhere else in the world where you can target Cobia so close to shore. Anglers flock to Virginia for Chesapeake Bay’s incredible Cobia fishing. From both sides of the bay, you can step aboard a Virginia Cobia fishing charter and experience the thrill. 

What to Expect

A popular game fish all over the world, Cobia are an unpredictable, thrill-giving fish. Elsewhere tailored to experienced anglers, a Virginia charter will also give beginners the chance to test the waters. Within four hours, you can explore the Cobia hot spots and fill the boat with plenty to take home. 
 
Trips take the form of half, three-quarter, and full day trips. If you’re a beginner, a shorter trip will let you see what it’s all about. Otherwise, the more fish you want to catch, the more time you should spend on the water.
 
From Kilmarnock down to Virginia Beach, Virginia Cobia fishing charters leave from every saltwater port in the state. You’ll hit the productive fishing grounds south of Mobjack Bay and around the entrance to the Chesapeake, so your shortest run is out of Hampton or Poquoson. 
 
Due to the choppy waters, most captains prefer a sturdy vessel. Expect a large offshore sportfishing boat to keep you steady. These professional vessels will come with all you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll use top-of-the-line rods and reels that will give you the edge over the fish as you bottom fish or drift fish. 
 
Unlike in the deeper waters, the Cobia here swim close to the surface. This provides excellent sight fishing fun. Hook yourself up with live bait and cast away! You may also chum with some eels and croakers to bring the fish to you. This is an effective way of cheating while bottom fishing, and you may also attract plenty of other fish!

How to Prepare

Despite the fishing in the Chesapeake lasting year round, Cobia are not always present. A migratory fish, they turn up between May and October, so you’ll want to book your charter during the season. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun and bring a cap, shades, and plenty of sunscreen.
 
All that’s left for you to do is bring some food and drinks aboard and settle in for a memorable day. Come aboard a Virginia Cobia fishing charter for some of the best nearshore fishing in the world!

Spend the money and go Fishing book the 8 hour or better excursions they are more but you get what you pay for. And nothing is guaranteed in fishing so why not up your chances of landing quality sized fish where fewer boats travel.

The captain and first mate were great. The fish didn’t want to cooperate fully but fish were caught by everyone aboard. Seeing the crab pots worked and then going into the flat to dig clams were also good experiences. So don’t be afraid of trying the afternoon adventure.

Have to say — Rudee Inlet is ideal if you want to get off the dock and, in less than 15 minutes, on to 42 feet of gorgeous water with the year round chance of a variety of fish.

Get a local to take you. The bay is shallow and you need someone to help you figure out where to go. CPT Craig told me where to go fishing after our charter and we caught fish there too.

Chincoteague has all of the charm of a small beach town island without the presumptuous and stiffy entitlement that comes along with many other beach towns. The fisherman of Chincoteague are salt of the Earth type people who are kind, helpful, and will bend over backward to make your day on the water memorable!
