A valid Virginia fishing license is required for any person aboard our boat participating in fishing charters. Guided fishing trips include most of the fishing equipment you will need but there are some things you will be responsible for bringing. Virginia Fishing License can be purchased online at.
Patriot Fishing Charters are year round, Please dress appropriately for weather conditions bring rain gear, boat shoes or sneakers. No heals as they could damage our boat or cause a tripping Hazzard. Bring hat and gloves for fall, winter and spring outings. Sportfishing during our cold season can be very rewarding as long as proper fishing equipment and clothing are used. Water and wind proof outerwear is a must, wool socks and insulated waterproof boots will aid in keeping your feet warm and dry. Good quality hat and gloves will help heat loss and the gloves will insure that you don’t lose dexterity in your fingers
FOOD AND DRINKS.
For half day fishing charters we recommend snacks and drinks to be brought by our customers for full day fishing charters we suggest lunches along with extra snacks and drinks to keep you full and hydrated throughout the day.
YOUR CATCH
In the event that our clients decide to keep some of their catch of the day we are happy to prep and filet them for you. We ask that you bring ziploc bags preferably gallon sized and a cooler with ice in it to keep them cold. As a part of sportfishing we try to practice catch and release, However clients are welcome to keep fish to enjoy, please consider half your daily limit as a way of giving back to our fishery.
