Gloucester Point offers both game fish and sport fish. It is the gateway where the York River feeds out into the Chesapeake Bay. You can catch various species, including shad, herring, drum, flatfish, temperate bass, catfish, shark, skate, ray, and other small species. The hottest spot to fish at the Point is at the fishing pier. Anglers have managed to snag croaker, spot, flounder, striped bass, and gray trout here. The pier offers free fishing and doesn’t require anglers to have individual saltwater licenses.
