Enjoy a day with Custom Tides Guide Service

Local knowledge of the waterways and fishing experience Is provided. 

A day on the water with Custom Tides is spent chasing after redfish in the shallows, speckled trout, stripers when they are around, and sometimes flounder.  We use light tackle gear and top of the line fly gear.  During the later summer months Tarpon can be targeted too.  This is one of the hardest fisheries in Virginia and can be rewarding.  It has some long days grinding it out looking for them and then trying to hook one.  This is one of my favorite fish to target and if you're interested, I'd be glad to obliged.  

• Half day trip  $400.00
