If you plan on fishing in Chincoteague, look no further than Mechanical Obsession Sportfishing. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Dan can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are known for Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Black Seabass, Flounder, Wahoo, White Marlin, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few!

On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites for a boost of energy when needed!

Your trip begins aboard a 32’ Island Boat Works Sportfishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It’s customary to tip the Mate 18-20% to show your appreciation.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
