On the road to Chincoteague, Virginia is Queen Sound Bridge. This is one local spot to fish from land. Fish begin showing up in spring and stay into late fall. Flounder, small bluefish, rockfish, trout, croakers, small sea bass, tautog, sandbar sharks, dog sharks and juvenile back drum are some of the fish you may find.

The area where access is to fish is very shallow and the bottom around the bridge contains a lot of snags. The channel has some bridge rubble on the north side from the old bridge and the channel itself has areas of a rough shell bottom and large growths of coral and sponge. Bottom fishing can be tricky.

In the evenings, artificials can be casted and some large rockfish and snapper bluefish are caught there mostly at night and in bad weather.
