Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Captain John reports hit or miss fishing with good trips with up to 8 or 9 fish up to 65 lbs and other trips with nothing. That is drum fish. The Delaware Bay can be fickle place to fish at times. This spring fishery for Drumfish is a mainstay of Cape May, New Jersey and the fishing is pretty simple. Bottom fishing on the NJ side while anchored.

This fishery continues through May at our 6:00 PM time and is open to the public.
