In Sinickson, Virginia, Swan's Gut Creek flows into Chincoteague Bay. This is one local spot to fish from a kayak or other small boat. Fish enter the creek in spring and stay into late fall. Flounder, small bluefish, rockfish, white perch, trout, sandbar sharks, dog sharks and juvenile back drum are some of the fish you may find.

The creek is very shallow and the bottom contains a lot of snags. Bottom fishing can be frustrating but bait can be fished on a bobber or artificial lures can be used. This is a perfect area for fly fishing.

 Kayakers can explore up the creek or down the shoreline. The area is frequented by all sorts of birds and other wildlife. The nearby bay is a relaxing place to crab, clam or just explore. Insect repellant is a must!
