Based out of Saluda, Virginia, Divergent Fishing Charters offers fun and enjoyable fishing trips in the Northern Neck Region, serving Lancaster, Middlesex, and Gloucester Counties. You and Captain Doug Goodman will be exploring rivers, inshore, and nearshore waters and have fun as you chase various fish species that roam these waters. The captain can pick you up and return you to Grey’s Point and Beth Page Campground at your request. Come aboard and have a memorable time on the water with Divergent Fishing Charters!

You’ll start your trip on a 26’ Pathfinder bay boat that can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and uses GSP, a fishfinder, radio, as well as a radar for safe and fast navigation. The boat’s got a flybridge, wireless trolling motor, and an ice-box. The onboard fishing gear includes a fighting chair, livewell, as well as outriggers. Aboard will also be a first mate to give you any assistance you may need.

You can fish the beautiful Rappahannock River, Chesapeake Bay, as well as go nearshore and experience the Atlantic Ocean. The species you’ll target include Cobia, Atlantic Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Whiting, and Black Drum. In order to catch them, you can troll, bottom fish, spin, jig, and pop, using light and heavy tackle. You’re free to keep all the fish you catch as well as to bring along kids on your trip.

The captain will supply you with the tackle, live bait, fishing license, and will also clean and fillet your catch.

Come to Saluda and create lovely memories on the water together with Divergent Fishing Charters.

What a time.
4 Hour–River Adventure/Inshore (PM) on September 22, 20254 adults
Captain Doug is very knowledgeable about the waters of the Rappahannock, Carrotomen, and Chesapeake Bay. We visited all three on our trip. Unfortunately, the fish just were not biting on this day. We enjoyed Doug’s banter and beautiful day on the river.

3/4 Day Trip–Cobia/Mackerel (MAX 3) on August 1, 20223 adults
Originally booked a trip for Cobia, but the weather didn’t want to play along. Capt Doug made it right with plenty of Redfish with other species sprinkled throughout the day. We had a blast! Capt Doug’s boat was comfortable for myself, my brother in law and my father in law. He knew where to find fish and set us up for success. Couldn’t ask for a better day! We were excited to hear that he spends half the year in Florida…you better believe we’ll be calling him when we head there to visit family!
