Chubby's Charter was founded in 2013 as a saltwater fishing guide in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Species of fish range from the popular striped bass to seasonal migrating atlantic spanish mackerel. Additional species include, but are not limited to: red drum, speckled trout, taylor bluefish, flounder, white perch, spot, croaker, spadefish and black drum. How it works: Trips can be tailored to t
he angler's desired fish species catch or technique. Chubbs and specifying the desired catch and technique, Chubby's Charter will recommend a season when you are most likely to have a successful trip! We are also happy to do group trips/cruises if the group is just interested in catching a wide variety of fish instead targeting a particular species. Example trips include: trolling for deepwater migrating rockfish, high speed trolling for spanish mackerel or bluefish, skinny water casting for redfish and speckled trout or bottom jigging or bait fishing for additional species such as flounder, spot, perch etc. along with the species mentioned above. Saltwater fly fishing can also be arranged. The northern neck region offers some excellent shallow water oyster shelf's and other shallow water structures that make fly fishing an excellent technique for targeting redfish, speck and rockfish. Fly fishing expeditions are an exciting journey as jet-skiing is the way we guide those trips. Chubby's Charter is dedicated to being on the front lines of both conservation efforts of the Chesapeake Bay as well as it's tributaries. Capt Chubbs is actively involved with the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences in watching fish populations and bay health. Capt Chubbs is fully licensed for boating as well as sport-fishing in the northern neck-the license covers all who fish on the charter, so there is no need to for you to have a fishing license. We've got you covered! Chubbs also uses the latest technology for putting you on the fish. Along with our instrumentation, Chubby's Charter keeps up with local reports from anglers and utilizes its membership with the Northern Neck Anglers Club as well as the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association.
