Morning Fishing Trip To Assateague Island - Spot Croaker

Well, not the fish I was looking for, but it was a great morning sunrise on Assateague Island. I managed to get a few spot croaker, but was really hoping for a few kingfish! I'll be back out later on when the water cools down and the fall fishing heats up! Thanks for watching and see you next time!

Would be great if you could talk about your reasoning for picking the best fishing spots. When I fish the beach it all looks the same to me.

[@ReelJayB]

Sure thing! I'll be doing another video soon once the bite picks back up. I'll explain the reasoning I use.

Just beautiful filming of a beautiful place.

Thanks John!

Love the videos. Curious what the tire deflator device are called and where to buy them? Also, what’s the app called where you reported and could see the vehicle count? Thanks

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks! Here is the link to the deflators www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077JGKYG4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 BUT WORD OF CAUTION! I don't trust them to stop on their own. I watch the gauge on my truck and remove them when down between 20 and 22psi. The app is a website, it's www.osvcount.com

Have to admit the spot croaker thing sorta threw me . Those spot are great bait for rock and blue fish and i have landed a ton of sharks with those spot as well on that beach.

[@ReelJayB]

I don't usually use live bait on video, still toying with the idea to do it or not. Maybe I'll try it next year and see how people/youtube react to it.

[@jonhanson6128]

@@ReelJayB would love to fish with anytime

[@dannykapz]

Another great video Jay! I'm fishing vicariously through you. One day I'll find time to get back out.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks! It's been a slow bite the last week or so, I can't wait until the fall fishing heats up!

Hey Hey Jay, always love watching you fish our local waters. 🤜🤛 Quick question, with back story. I've been fishing Maryland and Virginia waters for over 50 years and before now in your videos I have never heard spot referred to as "spot croaker", granted Spot, Croaker, Kingfish and many others are part of the same family which is Drum. 🤔 Where did you pick up the name "Spot Croaker" in regards to the best Bluefish bait in existence for our waters? Even if buying spot as bait I have only ever seen it sold as Cut Spot or plain old "spot". Not intending to come across as confrontational, I'm legitimately interested in the origin of the name as with so many fish the common names are based on location. Keep the lines wet and the cooler full! 🎣

Hey Michael! Thanks for watching my video! I honestly have no idea where I got that name from....I'm a "transplant" here. Grew up in MA, enlisted in the Marines and moved to NC, then moved to MD. I guess I always just used the term spot croaker? Good question!

[@crestedcarvings]

Dang, lowest count ever!

[@lynoj777]

What’s the best month for shark fishing at assateaque island?

[@ReelJayB]

I don't usually target sharks, but the mid to end of summer is usually when I hear they are most active.

[@lynoj777]

Thanks!!! Hopefully they are still there by end of September, I just want to experience fighting a shark,

[@ReelJayB]

@@lynoj777 no problem and good luck! Before you try, I highly suggest checking out the DNR section on sharks and safe catch/release, this will also keep you out of trouble. Let me know if you get one!
