Lewes has a fish with your name on it, so let Shooter Dog Fishing Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Chris can tell you all about the local fishery.
Shooter Dog Fishing Charters specializes in offshore Flounder, Black Sea Bass, Tautog, and Striped Bass. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.
Your adventure begins aboard the 'Shooter Dog,' a 46' Downeast that can carry up to 6 passengers. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time!
Kids are welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. It's recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Shooter Dog Fishing Charters is just a click away.

Meghan HewittRepeat angler5.0Verifiedbest fishing charter!
6 Hour Trip (copy) on July 3, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe all had th best time on this charter!! Captain Chris and his mate Mike were amazing had us on fish all day and had a surprise encounter with Mahi Mahi and a trigger fish! They worked hard to make sure we had a great time and were on fish all day. We have been on numerous charters and this was by far the best ones we been on! 5 stars if could give 10 I would!
Lucinda Allen5.0VerifiedThese guys know their stuff and you will catch a lot of fish! Just a heads up from my lessons learned though…bring/take seasickness meds! Lol
6 Hour Trip on August 8, 2026 • 6 adultsFirst mate had everything ready for us and captain took us to a great spot. Started pulling in fish as soon as we put out the reels. Black sea bass and flounder. Really cool experience just wish i had taken seasickness precautions cause a few of us were struggling.
Joseph MantonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome afternoon!
6 Hour Trip (copy) on July 29, 2026 • 3 adultsseas were rough so Chris and Mike came up with a backup plan that had us catch our first ever sharks and a massive Ray! great boat with plenty of space to move around and fish the different sides. Just a great afternoon that made lasting memories for me and the boys!

8 Hour Trip (AM) on June 24, 2025 • 3 adultsI would absolutely recommend Shooter Dog! Capt. Chris got us on the bite right from the start and it kept going all day! Deckhand Tommy is on point. We didn’t have to worry about a thing in regard to tackle and equipment. These guys attend to everything to ensure your trip is what you are hoping for… both are welcoming and a great sense of humor. If we come back next year… Shooter Dog will be our first stop!
Clayton Marchetti5.0VerifiedBest fishing trip ever!
8 Hour Trip (AM) on June 22, 2025 • 2 adultsWe had a fantastic time. Both the captain and first mate went above and beyond. We’ve booked other charters in the past but Shooter was the best! Thank you Captain Chris! We will be back!

Captain Chris and mate Jeff are very friendly and great at what they do. They made sure we were catching fish all day long with no dry spells. Between the six of us, we caught around 300 sea bass and a few flounder. We were able to take home at least a dozen fish that met the size requirements. The boat was very nice and extremely clean. It was a family-friendly trip— even if you’re not an experienced fisherman, you’ll have a lot of fun and catch plenty of fish.
