Salt Treated Fishing is widely regarded as Virginia’s leading inshore charter service and top cobia authority, run by Captain Zack, who was raised on the Chesapeake Bay and has been featured on the Discovery Channel as one of the Bay’s top anglers. Since 2013, Salt Treated has won or placed in more fishing tournaments than any other charter operation on the Chesapeake Bay, backing up their reputation with a genuinely unmatched competitive record.
Trips run aboard a 30-foot Privateer with an extra-tall tower, bathroom head, heat, and state-of-the-art electronics, built for maximum comfort while fishing the Bay. Four distinct fishing seasons bring a wide variety of styles and target species throughout the year, including Cobia, Red and Black Drum, Striped Bass, Flounder, and Sheepshead, with the captain adjusting technique and location based on what’s biting.
Charter rates run $1,200 for a full 8-hour day on the big boat, or $1,100 for a full day / $800 for a half day on the smaller boat. Inshore flats trips run $900 for a full day, $700 for a half day, or $500 for 2 hours. A $250 deposit is required for all trips, with a 12-day cancellation notice needed for a full refund; no-shows are charged full price plus the mate’s tip (20% customary).
For anglers looking to fish the Chesapeake Bay with Virginia’s most tournament-decorated cobia specialist, Salt Treated Sport Fishing offers a well-equipped, highly credentialed charter out of Seaford with Captain Zack.
