- I take my 2005 23 Contender Tournament about 40 miles to the south to fish the famous Delaware Bay for the big Black Drum that make their way there every spring to spawn.
Please note these fish are there to reproduce. Not much is known for them outside of their spawning habits. Please handle them with care and strongly consider catch and release. They have such a low yield of meat for their size as well in my opinion.
Awesome Chris!!!
Thanks!!
Villas Tuna! People go nuts for them down here
Ha!!
Great video Capt. Chris. All my years fishin I never heard the Drum fish, nor have I caught one. Cool to see. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much for watching! They're so fun!
Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into these vidjas. Really looking forward to TUNA season and more content. God Bless Capt Chris.
thanks so much for watching. Tuna season has been horrendous so far unfortunately
I am from ct and just bought a house on a lagoon in Toms river and moving my boat there shortly and your videos have helped me to gain a grasp on what I will be seeing when I finally get into the new area to me!! I really appreciate these videos. Cant wait to get out to the offshore grounds out there and also try out some of the new species we dont have off of our area inshore like drum. Very cool
You're gonna love it. YOu'll be centrally located in NJ which opens up so many different fisheries
Nice seeing ya in my neck of the woods
Yeah man I love it down there
Chris, as usual awesome content amd information. we caught 4 and missed 2 this year. I am llooking for a marina that isn't too crazy expensive as i already drive 3 hrs 1 way to come down. Currently my boat is in fortescue NJ but can't get tuna from back in the bay lol
Hopefully the big boat isn't anything major
Glad you got a few. Thanks so much for watching!! Cape May used to be such a great place to keep a boat but now i feel like it's too far south anymore.
Glad to see that you made it down to my neck of the woods. Damn shame what Sandy did to the rips down here.
Ugh. I learned how to catch stripers in the Cape May rips. So fun. THanks as always for watching!
Nice 👍 catch and release Captain Chris !!
thanks as always Charles
Well done Captain Chris! Two nice fish and an awesome sunset.... tight lines!
THANKS AS ALWAYS CHRISTOPHER
Saw your truck in CM last year, knew you were probably lost. Come back down in September and I’ll take you cobia fishing.
We had such a great time down there! Ma rented this old colonial house. It was in the middle of a noreaster. We drank beer, bet on college and nfl football, ate at some amazing restraunts, and had a blast
Ahhhh, i got water in my ear again. 😂 who needs a rudder when ya have a twin screw?? I've only caught 1 black drum. I was surf fishen for stripes with clams. It was about 20lbs. It was one of the best eating fish I've caught. Didn't know i had him til he got to the shorebreak. He saw the beach and took off. It was just dead weight til then. I thought i had snagged a pile of seaweed til i saw my leader. It was on after that.
Ha!! Yeah man they can pull pretty good.
People don't get how hard it is to film while catching fish. Especially solo. You should bring the cat out. I got 2 harnesses for my cats and I want to bring one out with me. I brought my raccoon out early this year but I'm definitely not bringing her again. She was really good but unfortunately in NJ they are illegal to have as a pet. This wind has been terrible. I'm trying to get one in tomorrow into Saturday but it's not looking too good. I'm getting tired of the Schuylkill although up until this heat hit the muskies were everywhere along with solid flatheads on artificial. I can't wait to get a motor for the new Hydra Sport 19 I picked up so I can handle a little rougher water.
Yeah man this weather sucks. We have only been out twice. THe fishing has been terrible too. You aren't missing much. I can just picture my Rambo cat chilling in the salon on an overnighter! Ha.
@@reaperfishingnj8623 I was hoping last night was not going to blow hard. With the full moon I wanted to start looking for wahoo. It's crazy how we get them now. And in numbers and usually pretty big.
Used to see them at the dock when I went weakfishing in Delaware Bay back in the 1970's and early 80's. I always thought it was a shame to kill such big fish (especially since I was told the big ones are not that good to eat, someone said they tasted like veal, not sure if I want my seafood to taste like veal). Gone are the glory days of weakfishing there too. I have not caught one off of the Jersey coast since the 1980's.
sad about the weakfish. THanks so much for checking us out
I have a friend who lives just south of Boston and wherever I go to the place he works at to deliver we talk fishing. I nicknamed him the King of the Cape Cod Canal. He's a surf fishing guy and a freshwater fly fisherman. But? No Drum up there. Sure, a couple wander north from down here and get a picture in The Fisherman if they are caught, but nothing dependable. So, He's going to try to get down to NJ and see what happens.
The full moon at the end of may is when you wanna be down there
REAPER!!💪🏼👍🏼🤘🏼👍🏼💪🏼
my man
Need to come down to virginiatuckey and catch some big reds. Then I'll ask u if black drum fight😂
I used to catch big bull reds in the Indian River down in Florida when i was at Florida Tech. Man they can pull. So fun!
Did you get a diagnosis on what was wrong with the rudders? im curious about what that sound was
rudder shaft packing was leaking was first issue. Then the rudder arm mechanism was the source of the vibration. Just needed some parts.
Janto hat…collab in the future?
How cool would that be!!! I'd be star struck. He fishes in the town we lived in down in Florida when I was in college. I still go down there as often as I can. It's like my second home
Only males make the drumming noise FYI
oh wow ok. thank you. so much I did not know that
not the best looking fish but when they get to that size you just got-a-luv-em
I love em!!!
