Assateague Surf Fishing, Bluefish, Red Drum, Black Drum, Southern King Fish and Shark.

A great day of late spring surf fishing on Assateage Island VA. Big Bluefish, Red Drum, Black Drum, Southern King fish and a very feisty Shark.

All the same day! Awesome, that kingfish would make a fine dinner

Awesome trip....Fish on...

[@ThatsSoKyle]

Nice fish! I just started fishing AI this year, on the OSV. It’s been a blast! My last trip this year will be the last 9 days of October for the Striper and drum run. Maybe I’ll see you down there. Tight lines!

What month was this?

[@plugcheckout807]

Any tips on bait I should use on a fish finder rig? Thinking about heading out there sometime this week hoping to come across black drum or anything that bites really

[@TheFishinDad]

Awesome man! I'm taking my kids down there at the beginning of October. My son and I each have a surf rod but it's been over a decade since I really fished the surf. You have any tips? I don't even remember what lb test I'd want to be using

[@marlboroughsurffishingclub]

If you like braid, go with 50lb @Kastking. If monofilament is your preference, look at Suffix Tritanium 17lb. Work the Sloghs and Rips with a nice big chunk of cut bait for trophy Red Drum. Have a blast.

Coming to assateague July is that a good time to fish at assateague. What bait should I use. Awesome fish.

[@marlboroughsurffishingclub]

July will be mostly Southern King Fish, Spot, Silver Perch and a few small Bluefish. Use a high low bottom rig or fireball rig with Fishbites Blood Worms you can get at Captain Steves. 4 and 5 ft sharks on chunks of cut Bunker can be caught in the early evening. Have fun

[@plugcheckout807]

What bait were you using in this video?

[@marlboroughsurffishingclub]

Peeler crabs for the Red Drum, salted frozen clams for the Black Drum (tipped with fishbites), cut Bunker for the Bluefish and a fresh Southern Kingfish head for the shark

[@marlboroughsurffishingclub]
