About Marsh Madness Charters
Specializing in shallow water sight fishing on the Lower Eastern Shore of Virginia. Virginia's pristine estuaries are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world, and support an incredible number of species in the world of sport fishing. We offer you the opportunity to target inshore species like Redfish (Red Drum), Sea Trout, Flounder, Stripers, Bluefish and Tarpon depending on season. The Barrier Islands, marshes, creeks and flats on the seaside of the Eastern Shore of Virginia are where Captain Zach Pfingst primarily targets the fish.

The boat is set up for sight fishing whether it be with a fly rod or spinning/conventional rod. The boat can be polled from the polling platform or trolled from the Rhodan GPS Trolling motor.
