Surf-Fishing the Waters Surrounding Chincoteague Island

Assateague Island, located across the channel from Chincoteague Island offers some of the best surf-fishing on the whole Mid-Atlantic coast. Pottery Barn Duvet Virginia portion of Assateague offers anglers beautiful beaches, public parking areas and a choice of several great locations. Overnight fishing is allowed with a free permit which can be obtained from the ranger station, while fishing without a permit is allowed from 5 am to 10 pm. Chincoteague Island has great accommodations for the angler to set up base camp for the family in a bed and breakfast, motel or hotel. From base camp it is only a five minute drive to reach Assateague beaches which offers great surf-fishing action. Early morning or evening hours during a falling tide is the ideal time for some very productive fishing.

During the early summer months this area offers some great action for big red drum, black drum, and a large assortment of game fish such as striped bass, weak fish, sharks, flounder and bluefish. The best fishing from the beach is found along deep drop offs where the bait plays in the surf where predator fish wait in ambush.

Most anglers agree the best time to surf-fish is early in the morning or evening when game fish are feeding, but this depends on the tide and wind. The best bait to use for summer includes bloodworms, clams, crabs, squid and fresh-cut mullet.

Chincoteague and Assateague are the only barrier beach islands on the Eastern Shore that are accessible by car, all the other islands stretching 70 miles along the Atlantic Coast line of the Delmarva Peninsula can only reached by boat. By making Chincoteague Island your base camp the family can enjoy all the activities this very popular Eastern Shore Island Resort can offer. The Island offers great restaurants, shopping, family activities, and dozens of vacation rental properties. The best websites for information about this area are found by searching for Chincoteague Island Vacations in Google.
