Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Fishing September 2015. Spadefish, Shark, ++ more

Long Video! Hopefully you watch the whole thing, but some highlights are -
4:26 - Spadefish
18:53 - Shark
32:02 - 1st big ship wake
32:42 - 2nd big ship wake.... scarier wake!
39:42 - double header weakfish on top and bottom rig baited with pieces of gulp swimming mullet
Took a drive to the VA area for 2 days of fishing in mid September. The first day I fished Backbay Wildlife Refuge along the Atlantic Shore of VA, didn't catch much. The 2nd day I launched my kayak at the Bridge Tunnel to target big Red Drum, however I didn't catch the targeted species. Instead I caught a Spadefish, Kingfish, Croaker, Weakfish, Porgy, Shark, Kingfish (aka whiting), Puffer and Oyster Toad. Paddled what felt like many miles but was probably about 6 or 7 miles.
My Kayak is a hobie revo 13, like this one except older amzn.to/2i8N5uk
Camera used to film is a gopro hero3+ silver amzn.to/2iy8PyO

3 favorite thing 1. Fishing 2. Kayaking 3. People freaking out over wake Lol... Good video man

[@emrickfabien9618]

Waw

[@A1K3NFISHING]

damn bro. you are one brave guy. I love to kayak. but the places you take that kayak are insane. good stuff man.

[@jayjackson4878]

Maaaaaaan. The way u handled that shark!!!WHAAAAT. and while fishing from a kayak!!!! HECK NAH!!!! I had to subscribe. Thanks man

[@swimbait1]

I've been in similar sized water when ships go by and it is scary. I was in a 16' driftboat anchored for salmon and we were shitting when the wake was headed our way but just like your kayak, up, down, no problem. I have fished many days like this, you poke around, give it a try, catch a little, and that's it. With so much water it's hard to target them.

[@willbernhardt4163]

Yo your channel is so amazing. Keep up the good work bro

[@victortotis6856]

I've fished that area for years and he's right about the winds. Never believe the forecast. Storms and rough weather come up fast, real fast.

I hate the sun too lol - sometimes I’ll catch - but the best bite is when it’s shitE weather/overcast/crap weather/rain- good year this year. I’m enjoying your video- glad I bumped into you. Definitely subscribing

[@steviebeecham5051]

yes. finally a good fishing video of my hometown hotspot

[@smelltheglove2038]

Yeah, I was thinking he shoulda fished down the Lesner bridge. Tons of reds in the inlet.

[@solobro2469]

This video was entertaining enough for me to actually watch the entire thing

Great video. You keep it simple and to the point, good job.

[@davemojarra4734]

You're a good extemporaneous speaker. Which is another reason that your videos are so damned watchable.

[@KennethDAstonJr]

Dude, that shark OMG in that yak too also, great footage and after watching the whole vid, MAAAAAN those wakes you best stay near the rocks lol

[@TamourTahir]

Stumbled upon the video and man you had an awesome fun day. Subscribed keep it up

[@tracyl4383]

I am from Bucks County PA. My friends and I run a boat off Manasquan Spring to Winter, Fluke to Makos. *Buoy/markers/pilings are best fished during slack. We catch Mahi off lobster pots any tide but thats open ocean. *Bridge live lining is best on channel breaks or sand bar breaks during the incoming, as well as outgoing but its much more difficult to find the tiny eddies the fish hold in, if you do it will be the best day of your inlet life! Typically we daily limit Reds on my 16' when we go on Vacay to OCMD. The OCMD bridge at the inlet is KILLER for live lining. Big bass, blues, cobia and Drum. Throw net in the back fingers of the private type marinas. I HIGHLY recommend choosing this bridge over the giant flat Chess bridge. Thats too much water for short trips! Best of luck man!

There are a lot of hacks with fishing shows on youtube but I must say, you go a great job! fun to watch while I am landlocked.

Honestly I really like these vids just a tad bit more then other vids where people catch fish left to right.

[@joirjoja1]

Yeah you got BALLS, crazy wakes and all...I would need a life vest the size of a king size bed.. Two fears in life, heights and deep-deep water...

[@pedrolguzmanjr.1621]

I go to Melbourne o New Smyrna Beach to fish with my wife, my stepson n my baby son 8 months old n it fun catching fish any kind n take some good ones home to eat. I like you videos bro i watch them i learn a bit more of bait n jigs

[@weqrfawe1336]

awesome video! even though no cobia or drum all the little fish you caught were pretty cool looking esp the spadefish

[@2TEN90]

Awesome video....going out in the middle Chesapeake around Love Point over the next few weeks. Hopefully some big Rock are around.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Todd Carrick nice, Ive only fished the mouth of the bay and up around the susky flats. Good luck!

[@JpFishingBrasil]

very good his video is very interesting!!! I'm leaving in Japan here we fished seabaas too.

[@ShamanZaZa]

lol man not dogging you or anything but the little fishkies you used for drum that you called kingfish I believe, are what we call Whiting in Florida my man! croakers look similar to a baby redfish and the whiting mixed.. I am impressed with your tactics brother man. If I may give you a tip as to fishing your live bait try doing a line to line with at least 3' of fluorocarbon leader. the bait will usually dive to specified depth where the beasts live to eat the prey!! also nice chicken rig brother perfect for pompano fishing.

[@Rebelution-nk5mp]

You need to open your dam ears he said there also known as whiting

[@ShamanZaZa]

We hear that now a damn days thank you sir!! He only started doing so shortly after I commented that was before he did thank you!! Have a wonderful day! Good luck out there in your fishing world!!

[@ronaldmast2684]

in n.c thy call kingfish or whiting sand mullet.

[@gregsnider5786]

Enjoyed the video - thanks! Puffer fish was hilarious.

[@backriver4191]

Your best bet for Cobia on the yak would be to try Grandview in early/mid June. You only have to be a mile from Buckroe beach and drop the chum and eels. Best bet for Red Drum is off of Fishermans island. Those species would be a wild ride on the yak!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

lilbromarky haha pissing out of the kayak isn't easy, you have to akwardly scoot toward the edge of the yak and aim high, of coarse making sure no ones around... inevitably you will end up with some residual drip which is all good, I was pretty much soaked by the end of the day just from water coming over the sides of the yak and through the holes in the bottom of the yak

[@valonahunters7330]

+Sea-Money Fishing about the cayak that you are using: how much does it costs and how fast can it go?

[@johnblanton1212]

That looks like a lot of fun

[@31Hooah]

+Valona Hunters It's a Hobie Kayak and they are in the 1500$ to 4000$ range

[@jjjjj8455]

Its cool that you live in MD r u on the eastern or western cause i fishbin the bay too

[@typr_tox1c167]

You got a bull shark

[@alltree78]

Bay bridge tunnel is the only place I fish. I've caught spades up to 9lbs taugs up 8lbs 40lb stripers and my biggest flounder is 10.13. possibly one of the greatest fishing spots on the east coast and maybe the country in my opinion

[@tjconserette7048]

what type of rigs/ bait do u use when u fish bay bridge tunnel. Have a house down in eastern shore and want to learn how to fish better. Thinking about doing a day trip to tunnel

[@leehannon6939]

caught two really nice flatheads earlier using some of your tactics was a lot of fun man hope I get to see saltwater one day nice video bro.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Awesome, good to hear!

[@jeffstevens156]

For whatever reason I can’t subscribe! Looks like fun! I waded Galveston Bay several years in Oct. for the flounders staging before going to spawn. Did that a few years. Always had a problem with sharks. Biggest was about six feet. They would steal my stringer. I started with it tied around my waist. I was really bringing them in and tied off the stringer to a belt loop. The six footer snapped that belt loop and never slowed down. I’m going to check into a kayak. Be safe!

[@mattalisea4184]

and I really suggest using shrimp out there.

[@boxedwhine9377]

You have some balls man. I am horrified of the ocean for so many good reasons

What if you manage to hook onto a large boat like the container ship and let it take you to Baltimore

[@kman-mi7su]

Three things would happen, you get robbed, you get shot, you get hooked on heroin.

[@divanelson5901]

Chris is from Philadelphia. Im pretty sure he knows how to say no to dope

[@gregorypeck37]

@@kman-mi7su nice to see your mentality level!!! I live in Baltimore and lived here my entire life and it is nothing like that, I am 39 years old and have a life; I am Married and have a 17 year old son and I have been in his life everyday since day 1 and I have never been robbed, done drugs, or been arrested. You need to take your imagination somewhere else and come check it out for yourself instead of listening to stories and fake news.

[@kman-mi7su]

@@gregorypeck37 So your crystal ball told you all about my life so you can sum it up huh? Well, let me help you with that. A fact not fake news. You probably live over there past Johns Hopkins in the neighborhoods with all those professors and too scared to venture anywhere else. I'm 51and I live in Baltimore too but got a job and left there about 4 years ago, and unlike you who lives in imaginationville devoid of the facts and reality for many Baltimore residents, I'm not a denier of what far too much of the place is and was. BTW I lived in a rowhome on Montpelier street just off Loch Raven and a couple of 4 blocks on the other side is the infamous Greenmount ave, so spare me your BS. SO unless you've seen what I've seen, lived where I lived you need to wake the eff up.

[@michaelfallin304]

Been at those buoys many times in a 16' jon boat. The submarines push the "best" wakes! Like a roller coaster ride.

[@Vykk_Draygo]

It's been forever since I've seen the bay. Miss the area a bit, but I wouldn't want to go back to VA, since it would mean leaving Texas. ;D

[@ericmifsud4130]

video isnt long enough. I could watch your videos all day long.

[@patrickproctor3462]

Not that it's impossible to find Cobia at buoys, but you're much more likely to find Spanish or King Mackerel around them. Sardines and Minnows tend to school on the protected side of them. You can run glass minnows, clark spoons, gotcha plugs, and similar for them.

[@felofino4888]

the puffer fish was entertaining to me and funny though lol

[@josephmilnes8957]

Damn Chris, the blowfish are great eating man! Turn them inside out, they are like a drumstick!

love the vid gave me new ideas for bait when we go the beach this weekend

Cant believe you left the hook in it. Who knows how long that hook will be in its mouth

[@sharkeez5522]

+Rotties it won't be long, that saltwater rusts them right out.

[@hookedonthebay3890]

Dude that was so epic. Everywhere you go you catch fish. Im sure those ship waves were 3x bigger in person. I live in St.Pete and if you ever visit here we can go try and get giant black drum under gandy or howard franklin bridge, or just catch other fish like reds snook and trout.

[@jerseywide6.6l6]

september 15th my birthday :D , probably going to head out to rainbow lake today to get some bullheads or something , south jersey fishing!

[@cliftonsmith4013]

It's cool to see someone showing off our waterways on KZbin. Could you do a video fishing Ocean View and Pretty Lake? Its where I'm living currently.

[@ObiWanCannoli]

I live in salt ponds Marina due west of the bridge. I must say the only fishing I really enjoy there is off the 3rd and 4th Island. In the spring/ early summer you can catch some 40+ pound black drum. In the winter you go eeling at the high rise and get 50+ pound stripers. Mostly just go offshore to the canyons for bluefin and yellowfin tuna or even swords.

[@fijician6307]

Hey brother great vid! As for the tackle lost to the shark. If you hold em upside down (horizontally) for a minute you should have a better chance to get your hook loose with needle nose pliers.

[@jfrostcvl5]

I'm from Norfolk and we have always used grunts, eels, and crabs for cobia. maybe your next trip you can try these baits and have some luck bud

[@ronaldmast2684]

im from n.m but grew up in va . beach. try going in like july when the cobia are schooling up from N.C

[@jaddy540]

Cobia eat catfish too..

[@cuepee1972]

that second wake did look scary as sh*t! lol. nice video.

[@patchreefs]

thanks enjoyed you're fishing expedition.

[@mrfish49el]

People use the heavier bucktails because it's usually loads up their rods the best and gets the best action with their heavier cobia gear.

[@myshihtzudontstink]

Those wakes didn’t look scary in this video until I got out for the first time Saturday and rolled my new to me Hobie from a small wave hitting me from the side about 50 feet from shore. Now when I see the wakes in your video my heart races.

[@ellierowe8163]

Ive caught 2 cobias when I was little with my dad on his 19ft carolina skiff. He sold his boat 2 years ago and got 2 kayaks. I miss the boat!!!

If you don't mind the question, How much did the whole set up, ballpark, set you back? I'm talking the kayak and related k, not so muchj the fishing gear... Seeing this video of yours has awoken a part of my youth that was absolutely the greatest. You make a very watchable, very well narrated piece of cinematography.. I thank you for posting it. Perhaps more vids coming? Thanks Again

[@ChrisMcIntee]

That's a hobie revolution 13, a nice fishing kayak which I paid 1300$ for used. It's not cheap but compared to a boat it's much more affordable.. Thanks for the kind words I've got new videos coming about once a week

[@allenpeck8239]

+Sea-Money Fishing Thank you...

[@dutchoven55]

not wanting to tell you how to fish but if you hook a shark try and keep the tip of your rod at the front of your YAK so you dont get flipped because of the shark trying to run and you not getting your balance better to be safe than sorry you know @Sea-Money Fishing

Your channel is rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels,holy shit you've got some balls peddling all the way out there on your own man great film really enjoyed it 🎣

[@inletreg4844]

i want to catch a cobia just as bad. only hooked one keeper (35ish) on 15 pound mono on a pier. The problem was the line was too small and broke off, not because of te pier itself but because the fish was still green. I will one day catch a decent sized cobia. nice vid btw:)

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Liem Vo Cobia 2016 we'll both catch our first nice cobia ;)

What's the procedure for taking a whizz out of a kayak? One time I stood up in a canoe to go, and flipped it in the middle of the skuke.

[@johnechterhoff4791]

We have the same preference in rods...St. Croix are the best IMHO. They catch Cobia (I call Ling) off a number of piers on FL. Great eating fish. Do y'all have Tripletail in Chesapeake?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+John Echterhoff There are a few tripletail in that area but I never saw one. St Croix though, yes, very good haha!

[@K3eOne]

Damn you caught a shark.... that's fucking proper and much more respect for releasing it.

but he left the hook in its mouth

[@Nik-mg1rp]

+IfOnlyIWasCountry IfOnlyIWasCountry you can't reach in its mouth to get the hook out

[@fehr_fishing895]

[@joelwhite1492]

We use the 2 ounce buck tails because they sink faster and they will hit on the fall when u are jigging it

+Brantley Bassin' Never have, maybe when I was a little kid. Thats a loo-oong drive haha, do you catch big ones there? Thats something I could see myself doing in the winter, if the action was still strong.

[@gregkale8338]

Whiting and kingfish are the same thing. Look it up in a fish encyclopedia. Kingfish have three subspecies in the U.S.: Northern, Southern, and Gulf. I was born and raised in North Carolina and we called them Whiting (I do as well), however the offiical scienific name is kingfish. So he is not wrong, but he use of the term kingfish is not commonly used in the region he is fishing.

[@stillwaitingonmymatchwithj8765]

Can you catch triple tail out there? Seems like a great place for it

[@maxsoistmann5079]

I the deeper water there you will probably want a heavier rod to pull those giant drum up, especially in heavy current. I prefer a 20 size conventional reel with a 15-30 boat rod or a jigging rod. Also i like to keep one rod out with a livebait and drift around bouncing a big bucktail with a gulp trailer. cool video though keep it up.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Max Soistmann If you check out a video on my channel from may you'll see a 60lb+ drum I got on that rod haha

[@masterryangamer3950]

you make really good videos!!!!

[@aproctor1968]

Cobia are easier to find under the bridge itself. They like to attack out of shade. Find a spot where you can sit in 10-15 feet when the tide is coming in and you can cast into shade under the bridge. I've never had luck with them in slack tide at all.

[@davidrichichi3353]

screaming reel dave just got back ten days in the keys saw your shark fishing used your rig had two slay rides what pisser bull shark and a lemon shark two tarponone forty pounds the other one around fifty shot load of snappers mackerel all on my hobbie took all the way from Colorado I'm from long island any way you should definitely take the trip and bridge fish at night latter

[@Grant3ball]

Cobia travel more under big manta rays. The heavier jig heads are used more because Cobia do like something falling fast!
