    Hi I enjoyed your video. I like the way you explain things compared to so many other TH-camrs out there that use a typical young persons slang. You make it very clear what you’re doing. Thank you

    Just stumbled across your Channel I really enjoy the fishing videos how you represent Maryland I've lived in Maryland for close to 60 years now.
    I'm proud of our state and the way you represent Md.
    I got skunked at Assateague just passed Sunday and we went for a couple hours was throwing some Kastmasters out it was very windy and choppy and I had a lightweight kastmaster didn't do well.

      Thanks Ken! I really appreciate you watching. Assateague is my favorite spot to fish, hopefully you can get back out soon when the wind dies down.

      No better place to live than near Assateague! We love it there, I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point.

    Been beach driving on 20 to 22 lbs for 20 years. Never seriously stuck. We love Assateague and Hatteras national seashore! You should take a trip Jay.

    Nice catch! Maybe a “Driving on the beach for beginners” would be a popular video. I’d like to know if a 2011 Ford Escape can do it, asking for a friend.

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I could do that! I'll try to think of some common tips and what to look out for. Great idea!

    Great fish I have a question I don't have a four wheeler drive vehicle I normally go to the end of the Rd where everyone goes swimming seems like the water there is really shallow is there a better place to go for the fall run?

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's pretty much it. Most who don't have a 4x4 will fish on the state side of the park. Some will venture out near the OSV side and walk on the beach from there.

  • @2001pontiacta
    @2001pontiacta 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Jay! Always appreciate your video’s! Do they require you to have any kind of tools/rope etc to drive on the beach? As if, you’d get stuck, items to get yourself unstuck? Thank for any info

    • @DukeFame88
      @DukeFame88 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You'll need your basic recovery gear, tow rope, jack and shovel. The park ranger will check to see if you have the gear on occasion.

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, they do. Here is the link to the NPS OSV website, www.nps.gov/asis/planyourvisit/osv.htm it has the required equipment listed on it.

    What website do u check to keep up on the black drum to see when they are running?

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a calendar on my website, www.reeljayb.com that shows the months fish are here. For migratory fish like drum, I just monitor local facebook groups/friends pages and when I see them being caught, I hurry and get out there.

    How far past the breakers do you cast out for this place ? I'm heading up there tomorrow and was looking for an idea before I head out

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      On that day I was casting between the breakers. When the waves break, that tells you where the top of the sandbar is. I try to put my bait either before the wave forms or after the wave breaks, but never on top of the bar.

      9' or 10' is perfect. I use 1 of each. I think the drum I caught was on the 9'.

      @ReelJayB  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think this was April. They only hang around for a few weeks, April is definitely the month to try. April/May. The redfish are around now.

      Black drum....mild white meat. Drum tend to have worms when they are bigger in size, so I release them.

    Fishing with crab for black drum is a waste of bait. Sand fleas are the way to go.

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Maybe so, but they definitely liked the crab better than day. I caught smaller ones using green crabs as well and they took those more than sandfleas.
