7citiesfishing I have lived here my whole life and haven’t fished rudee yet but this is my first year of heavy kayak fishing I’ll have to make it out there lol
Dang those were some huge bluefish man. Sorry I watched this late brother, got operated and home medication soooo great, I'm good now brother and just watched this video! Robert you tha Man, to leave everything behind and your the country for different species of fish. Let us know if your going back to Panama again brother. tight lines never stop brother!
Robert Field , I want to go on my birthday which is in January. please keep me in mind, I do want to go brother. BTW, Badass videos, I love all of em. Tight lines never stop!
We call Blue fish Tailor. We love eating them, gut and cook whole, stuff with butter, salt pepper, tomato and onion. Squeeze lemon on to taste once cooked. 👍👍 Typically we get them 300mm (12 inches) but sometimes upto 500mm (19.5 inches) in our Estuary systems. They get to 1.2m (4 feet) out in the ocean.
Robert It's good to see you made it to the DMV. Yes spot are real. Good bait for blues and striper in this region. Can't wait till you hit Maryland. You'll love it. Good times bro.
F A N T A S T I C videoooooooo !!! even if Megan was the better fisher of the crew ; remember : Stripers are for boys, Blufish are for men !!! congrats Robert !!! another fantastic video !!
The size of those little ones or preferably smaller are fine to eat. But my suggested recipe isnt smoking em. Foil boat on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil and water, let the fillet cook half through and then pour a few shots of whiskey on em and a very thin layer of buffalo sauce. Used to toss em all back now I'll keep any under 4-5lbs. Obviously bleed immediately and cut out bloodlines before cooking.
@@YakFishField been binge watching your videos lately. Awesome to get a reply. Your vids are amazing. You threw back a lot of good stripers in this vid and/or a few others. The small ones (28-34in) are pretty well equivalent to grouper. Just did blackened striper sandwiches with chipotle mayo yesterday. Absolutely amazing.
Have always eaten Blues. Smaller are better, as with any highly predatory fish, less likely to be accumulated environmental toxins. This is why many states have no minimum size requirements and encourage anglers to keep and eat smaller Blues. Bleed them first by snipping area below gills. Baked fillets with butter, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning is great!
If you are still in the VA/MD area and plan on hitting the eastern shore, Tuckahoe State Park is about 30min east of the bay bridge. Nice campground and a small lake with extensive creek system. There are a few big bass (4lb my best there but heard about a 7lb) but the quantity is always good. I started fishing it in a canoe then a jon boat. Work up the creek, enjoy shore lunch and then drift back to the launch. Pads and weeds and wood. Chain Pickerel are common and my personal best came out of Tuckahoe. Never looked into the inshore options available for eastern shore of MD/VA but Tuckahoe may be well suited as a base to check them out.
Bluefish are an absolute blast to catch. Fighting them near docks like that must be a lot of fun. I saw someone make smoked fish dip with bluefish. That sounds pretty darn delicious. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great episode brother!! Love catching Blues, I have yet to catch one kayak fishing! They are definitely the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever caught! #YouTheManRobert!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Ok, finally signed up for my own account ;). Used to be under my husband's name Richard . We look forward to Tuesday's because a new episode is coming ! My favorite Vlog to watch right now :). Anyway, thank you for sharing the journey with us :). Looking forward to all the adventures :):
Awesome video Rob! Your videos continue to be an inspiration to us. Can't wait to see you in some salt water again, but always dig your videos fresh or salt!
Well what another great video buddy. I see Meghan can definitely handle her own and out fish the guys. I see she can out drink them as well haha. I bet that was a blast being with them over there Rob.
If you get them on ice fast it helps a lot. I like to smoke blue fish or make fish cakes with them. If you sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice and wait for the flesh turn whitish they taste less fishy.
hey man if you want some nice sized stripers check out the Roanoke river in plymouth north carolina. i grew up there and have caught an insane amount of stripers out of that river. the cool part is the river dumps into the albamarle sound and that dumps into the ocean. and if you want some big bass i suggest go trolling by the edenton bridge in the albemarle sound
hay Rob those blue fish you are catching are standard size in AUSTRALIA and great eating if bleed. great with bacon and eggs.they are also called Tailor here
sweet man, blues are so much fun especially on topwater! If you ever get around to NJ in spring hit the inlets with like pencil poppers or tsunami talkin poppers, blues get real crazy on them
I got a good bluefish poke recipe. Easy, and quite delicious. Best to bleed them after catching if you want to keep. And the smaller size are the good ones for poke.
Robert Field yessir, cut 1lbs of filet into approx. 1 inch cubes, toss in a bowl. Mix in ~2 tbsp soy sauce, ~1 tsp toasted sesame oil, ~1 tsp gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste), 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, ~1/4 cup finely sliced green onion. Obviously you can adjust the measurements to taste. Or use whatever fish you want. But it's a good way to use bluefish, at least to me.
Va beach used to go to rudees all the time. Hopefully I can move back one day! Check out Bob's fishing hole in Chesapeake next time your out there monster bass there!
Great episode! Have only caught one (small) Blue many, many yrs ago surf fishing in St. Augustine. We used live finger Mullet, and most of the bait was retrieved bit in half.
Another great video, if you ever make your way to Rhode Island we got stripers, blues, fluke, black sea bass, tautog. Love what your doing with the toy hauler, I also have a travel trailer and would love to send you to nice campgrounds near nice fishies in RI
Are you ever going to come back to VB because I am trying to get into kayak fishing and it would be awesome to meet you sometime. Also I was the exactly 800th like.
Well... I am glad I found this video! Just moved into the area and thinking about putting in at the same inlet tomorrow in my Yak. You guys put in next to the Virginia Beach Aquarium right? Tried out a small area in/near Lynnhaven inlet on Friday for a few hours after work until chased off the water by a storm. This looks promising! I have only caught a few small blues from the beach a few years ago... and never a striper. Thanks for sharing!
I saw a guy reach into a Blue's mouth for the hook one time and it pealed his thumb like a banana, that's why I use a 9 inch steel leader before my hook..... When the blues are feeding on a school of pogies (manhadin) the big strippers will sit on the bottom under the school of feeding blues and catch the pieces that drop down to the bottom. Many times while snagging pogies for bait I've pulled in half a pogie......
Robert Field for real though because of you and all of the awesome videos u put out I went and got my first kayak ( ocean kayak,prowler) I love it, so thank you man let me know if u are ever in southern Michigan would be great to go out fishing with you.
I’m heading north and hitting every state. My schedules pretty solid though man, I have my route and plan pretty dialed in months in advance. I have to, or my life gets pretty disorganized and miserable pretty fast, haha.
Robert Field me and a friend made the mistake of going out three miles on the cbbt in kayaks...... never again we weren’t prepared and the current and wind fought us two and a half hours of constant paddle to land
I love when he lands the fish and the fish starts flopping around "Oh God, oh God". lol
Hahaha those teeth, man!
Oh. I screamed no at the same time you did and that fish came off. I have family in that area and have never fished there. Awesome
Yeah man I was bummed, but that’s what keeps us coming back for more! Really cool area to fish
rudee inlet!!!!! my local waters!! i got tons of videos on this body of water check em out robert!! from reds to blues rudees got it. thats so awesome and your fishing with a guy i know! id love to meet ya man and like you said towards end of the video Virginia beach is rad!
7citiesfishing I have lived here my whole life and haven’t fished rudee yet but this is my first year of heavy kayak fishing I’ll have to make it out there lol
Really cool area man! I already moved on but I’ll definitely be back!
I love rudde caught a 31 in red fish in may
I live in the area as well! What time of year is best for blues in Rudee?
Dang those were some huge bluefish man. Sorry I watched this late brother, got operated and home medication soooo great, I'm good now brother and just watched this video! Robert you tha Man, to leave everything behind and your the country for different species of fish. Let us know if your going back to Panama again brother. tight lines never stop brother!
Thanks my man! I’m in Panama every January, April and August.
Robert Field , I want to go on my birthday which is in January. please keep me in mind, I do want to go brother. BTW, Badass videos, I love all of em. Tight lines never stop!
That is a for real hangover when you try to hook your bait on backwards. Lol.. Great video.
Hahaha the struggle was real
We call Blue fish Tailor.
We love eating them, gut and cook whole, stuff with butter, salt pepper, tomato and onion. Squeeze lemon on to taste once cooked. 👍👍
Typically we get them 300mm (12 inches) but sometimes upto 500mm (19.5 inches) in our Estuary systems. They get to 1.2m (4 feet) out in the ocean.
Sounds pretty tasty. Good to know!
We call them Shad in South Africa. The young green shad average 2- 3kg and the big blues shad get to 10kg
Quote of the episode.
Megan: "Takes longer to revive the big ones."
Haha
Nice... lol
Robert It's good to see you made it to the DMV. Yes spot are real. Good bait for blues and striper in this region. Can't wait till you hit Maryland. You'll love it. Good times bro.
I had no idea! Really cool area
F A N T A S T I C videoooooooo !!! even if Megan was the better fisher of the crew ; remember : Stripers are for boys, Blufish are for men !!! congrats Robert !!! another fantastic video !!
Haha I’ll remember that. Thanks Giorgio!
I am not a big fishing type, but these vids are very entertaining and educational. Thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying em!
Thanks for the shot of the Virginia Beach EMS Marine Rescue Boat. Those crews are mostly volunteers serving the citizens and visitors to the city.
That's awesome, I had no idea.
The size of those little ones or preferably smaller are fine to eat. But my suggested recipe isnt smoking em. Foil boat on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil and water, let the fillet cook half through and then pour a few shots of whiskey on em and a very thin layer of buffalo sauce.

It is a paradise for fishermen! Beautiful bluefish!!!
Yep!
Love the vid. especially the intro about going out and fishing the following morning. Awesome!
Haha thanks Jose!
Blue fish fry when they're 8 or 10 inches long we call them skipjacks and fry them up in a pan they are tasty little kippers......
Good to know

I bet they make a killer dip. Fun for sure!
Another awesome video, really enjoying see all different parts of the US and what they all have to offer. Keep up the great work!
I’m enjoying it too! Every state has been special in its own way. Thanks for coming along for the journey man.
Rob I feel your pain when you lost that big one. It's happened to me many of times. Great video btw.
Heartbreaker for sure, but that’s what keeps us coming back for more! Thanks man
Another awesome video Robert!!!!! Way to HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH!
Thanks man!
Great episode brother!! Love catching Blues, I have yet to catch one kayak fishing! They are definitely the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever caught! #YouTheManRobert!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
They’re a blast dude!
Another great video, you just keep on getting better!
Thanks Toby

Thanks for following along on my journey Tamara!!
You’ve got to fish the bay bridge tunnel if you ever come back. One of the best spots on the east coast for kayak anglers.
Really had a great time Robert. Cant wait for you to come back to our area.
Likewise brother! Thanks for showing me such a good time. One less shot next time.
Awesome video Rob! Your videos continue to be an inspiration to us. Can't wait to see you in some salt water again, but always dig your videos fresh or salt!
9:07 caught a nice striper off that dock and the point to your left is a killler drum spot
Good to know!
Well what another great video buddy. I see Meghan can definitely handle her own and out fish the guys. I see she can out drink them as well haha. I bet that was a blast being with them over there Rob.
Haha yes she can do both! Super fun day
Robert Field I see that haha. Jay has a great partner that's for sure.
If you get them on ice fast it helps a lot. I like to smoke blue fish or make fish cakes with them. If you sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice and wait for the flesh turn whitish they taste less fishy.
Good tips, thanks!
Top water bluefish and striper action is much more fun.You need to get up here to the northeast for the fall run to get in on some real action!!
I’m in Maine now, that northeast enough?!
Yea I would say so...how the fishing up there ? I’m in CT but fish mostly Connecticut , Long Island and Rhode Island
That was so excellent! Going to get a line out now...pumped! Ty for sharing.
Thanks Chucky!
Rob great vid man, in Australia we call blue fish Tailor, cause their teeth are sharp, good eating if blead on capture 👍nice
I didn’t know you guys had em! Very cool
Thanx for the tip, about bleeding them! Great to know
hey man if you want some nice sized stripers check out the Roanoke river in plymouth north carolina. i grew up there and have caught an insane amount of stripers out of that river. the cool part is the river dumps into the albamarle sound and that dumps into the ocean. and if you want some big bass i suggest go trolling by the edenton bridge in the albemarle sound
Thanks for this video !!! Wonderful
Kiss from France
Thank you!
hay Rob those blue fish you are catching are standard size in AUSTRALIA and great eating if bleed. great with bacon and eggs.they are also called Tailor here
Good to know!
living the dream !!!!!! cant wait for you to make it to the great lakes . tight lines bro
Next summer!
sweet man, blues are so much fun especially on topwater! If you ever get around to NJ in spring hit the inlets with like pencil poppers or tsunami talkin poppers, blues get real crazy on them
Sounds like a blast! They’re a sweet fish
You should come out to lake St.Clair in Michigan and fish for musky!
I plan to! Next summer is the great lakes
Awesome videos man. You’ve became one of my more favorite youtubers!!
Thanks Josh!
I got a good bluefish poke recipe. Easy, and quite delicious. Best to bleed them after catching if you want to keep. And the smaller size are the good ones for poke.
Wow I wouldn’t have thought of bluefish poke. Now I’m curious!
Robert Field yessir, cut 1lbs of filet into approx. 1 inch cubes, toss in a bowl. Mix in ~2 tbsp soy sauce, ~1 tsp toasted sesame oil, ~1 tsp gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste), 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, ~1/4 cup finely sliced green onion. Obviously you can adjust the measurements to taste. Or use whatever fish you want. But it's a good way to use bluefish, at least to me.
Give this man his own show
C'mon man, you are giving up our secrets. Nice video 👌 and we like it here, welcome to the Virginia family!
Those "spots" taste great! J.S.
Va beach used to go to rudees all the time. Hopefully I can move back one day! Check out Bob's fishing hole in Chesapeake next time your out there monster bass there!
I’ll do that man! Really cool area
Keep up the great works guys.
All the best,
Jimmy Willis
Thanks Jimmy!
11:18 best catch of the day !!
Haha she’s a rad chick
awesome video haha those were some big bluefish u caught n hook into
Yeah man! So much fun
Great episode! Have only caught one (small) Blue many, many yrs ago surf fishing in St. Augustine. We used live finger Mullet, and most of the bait was retrieved bit in half.
Really fun fish, but a little sketchy when those teeth and treble hooks are floppin around the kayak.
Ditto on that. :)
Another great video, if you ever make your way to Rhode Island we got stripers, blues, fluke, black sea bass, tautog. Love what your doing with the toy hauler, I also have a travel trailer and would love to send you to nice campgrounds near nice fishies in RI
I’ll be fishing RI in a couple days. Wish me luck!
Robert Field please hook a nice trophy Stiper!!! Best of luck man
I'm living in williamsburg now! Glad you caught a bunch of fish!
Beautiful area!
Beautiful Video Congratulations friend! *hug!* 👍🎣
Thanks!
Are you ever going to come back to VB because I am trying to get into kayak fishing and it would be awesome to meet you sometime. Also I was the exactly 800th like.
I hope so, I really liked VB! Not sure when but down to get together when I make it back that way
Nice snapper blues
Yep
Awesome vid! Can't wait for you to make it back to Oregon.
Me neither!
Up on cape cod where I live are giant blues and stripers. My PB blue is 15pounds and striper is 35 pounds
Those are beasts! I’ll be hitting Cape Cod and Boston.
One fish two fish red fish BLUE fish!
Yep!
My home town! I miss it so much! :.(
Awesome place to fish and just hang out!
Good to see you give VA a shot. However, the other side of the state is where its at!
just a quick note, i have not ever caught a bluefish so this episode is still bad ass!
I’ll definitely be back to Virginia
You need to come back!
Bluefish is very good to eat and doesnt have to be smoked if you know how to cook it. i grew up fishing on the bay eating blues
Good to know! How do you cook em?
Oooh man that bluuuuu got chomped. 😳
Haha yes he did
"When I was puking at the middle school the last shot felt a little excessive." -Robert Field
edit: oh and by the way Megan is hot 😍😂😂😂
Hahaha, not one of my better moments. Luckily it was 2:30am and no kids were present.
Robert Field I just joined the notification squad love the fishing great upload
She's not shy either.
This is awesome !!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Justin
Great video, good content. Like what you're doing
Thanks Lee!
Just wait til you make it up to the North East... a 30"+ striper or gator blue is pretty normal up by us in NY/NJ.
Oh I’ll be fishin for em!
nice, looks like fun
It was bro. When y’all flyin out?!
Robert Field not sure yet. Rex is pretty busy. I’ll see how his schedule is in September
Sup dude great content every upload
Thanks for following along with the journey Oscar. I’ll keep em comin!
A sign of a true pro, catching fish after getting hammered the night before. 😂 another quality outing Robert.
Hahaha the struggle was real
For some reason this video was suggested to and then I find out you were in my home town!! Weird
Shooting at the middle school lol
Spell check OMG
Uh yeah, no shooting, just vomiting haha
Well... I am glad I found this video! Just moved into the area and thinking about putting in at the same inlet tomorrow in my Yak. You guys put in next to the Virginia Beach Aquarium right?
Tried out a small area in/near Lynnhaven inlet on Friday for a few hours after work until chased off the water by a storm.
This looks promising!
I have only caught a few small blues from the beach a few years ago... and never a striper.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes sir! Good luck out there
You too man. Tight lines!
Great video as always
Thanks man!
I saw a guy reach into a Blue's mouth for the hook one time and it pealed his thumb like a banana, that's why I use a 9 inch steel leader before my hook.....
When the blues are feeding on a school of pogies (manhadin) the big strippers will sit on the bottom under the school of feeding blues and catch the pieces that drop down to the bottom.
Many times while snagging pogies for bait I've pulled in half a pogie......
Yeah their mouths are crazy
Love the content!👍
I’m so glad!
Great vid keep it up living the good life
Thanks my man, I will as long as I possibly can.
Robert Field for real though because of you and all of the awesome videos u put out I went and got my first kayak ( ocean kayak,prowler) I love it, so thank you man let me know if u are ever in southern Michigan would be great to go out fishing with you.
Heading my way NJ/NY ?
Jersey bit quiet with Stripers
What's your next destination?
Thanks for the video
I’m heading north and hitting every state. My schedules pretty solid though man, I have my route and plan pretty dialed in months in advance. I have to, or my life gets pretty disorganized and miserable pretty fast, haha.
Pound for pound one of the strongest fish I have ever caught!
Man I must have just missed y’all out there...wish I could been out there smashin em with ya! Nice fish!
Super fun place to fish man. I’ll be back!
Robert Field definitely have to let me know. Would love the opportunity to fish with ya! Good luck on the rest of your journey across America!
Nice video bro,i personally like to catch them on poppers
I bet that’s a blast!
Blues are frustrating at times. They spit the hooks a lot when they jolt out the water. That’s why I use 8- 9/0 Gami’s or beaked hooks
Yeah man losing that big one was a heartbreaker
Nice snapper at 9:41
Don't be a pig.
there again Robert... Eastern nc has chopper blues....come here man
I’m hitting every state bro. Let me get there. Haha
Robert Field you get here and I'll put u on whatever type of fish u wanna catch bro
what time of year was this?
Summer. Possibly May?
🔰I love this video :Very nice game 🐋🐟
Thanks!
What kinda rod are you using
A Lamiglas PK724S, part of their Paco series.
Bluefish is good to eat
Is it? How do you cook em?
Robert Field at least here in MA you can filet it and grill it, its very good with a squirt of lemon
Small Blues make good shark bait but I didn’t like blue fish either. This area is fantastic for fishing tho. Love me some Virginia beach lol
Yeah man our original plan was to fish the CBBT but the wind would’ve made it dangerous. Plan B worked out pretty well!
Robert Field me and a friend made the mistake of going out three miles on the cbbt in kayaks...... never again we weren’t prepared and the current and wind fought us two and a half hours of constant paddle to land
Too bad you didn't keep any of the bluefish. Seasoned or breaded and baked in an oven, they turn out quite tasty. I've had them many times.
Good to know!
11:21 What was that about bait there?
Chris Gruno Pink snapper for bait
Would have been cool to see Kayak Kevin on the water with you guys.
Awesome!! When was this, July?
That’s the ramp I use to go off
What month was this fishing trip? I see it was published in July.
June
Fished rudde my whole life
Nice! Sweet area!
Thank you
What size was that penn slammer III you used?
3500
Great videography
Thanks Gary!
Dang!
Rob Choi sounds like one bad hombre.
He definitely is.
p.s watch your fingers. great eating
Yessir
