Time To Book those Spring DRUM trips in CAPE MAY!!

[CaptJohn]

We have began to book a lot of dates for our Spring Striper and Drum Season.  We will start striper fishing around the last week in March.  And the drum usually show up around the 1st week in May.  The drum fishing usually lasts a little over a month, so don't wait too long. 

If you have never been drum fishing, this is something you should really try out!!  If you have been out for the drum, then you already know how much fun it is!!

I have all of our current availability listed at www.fishtheunreel.com . 

WE ARE OFFERING OPEN BOAT SEATS AND PRIVATE CHARTERS!!

Lets do a NJSWF trip!     Then lunch or dinner at the Lobster dock.  Is drum an eating fish?  Taste any good?    I saw an episode of Northeast Angler and the guys were killing the drums on Clams fishing on a Cape May charter boat in the Delaware Bay. Looks like fun!

Do you guys catch and release these fish? I caught a couple last year and made the mistake of keeping them. First for such a big fish you don't get much meat, second there are worms in the meat and it taste like crap. It seems a shame to keep such a large fish, just to learn it was not good to eat. Although we caught them on striper rods and they where great fun to battle.

[Hotrod]

Ive Heard the same thing Jess.. But there are those that love to eat them

It is actually quite good eating if you do it right

[Capt. Mike]

Yeah I hear it is good to eat as well as it is not.  I will give mine to some one else if they want it, if not back it goes.

[Hunter 2]

One guy from work told me it was good eating meat, white and flakey, but hard to fillet. Another fisherman told me about the worms and did not recommend eating it. I myself will give it a try if Capt.Bob says its good.  You can batter and fry almost anything.

[Fishin Dude]

Hey, that's what she said, " There were a few "little worms" there before you decided to eat it!"  .  Serious now, I've been told that the worms are usually found in the larger fish, so eat the small ones (Sounds like, well I'm supposed to be forgetting about about women for a few minuites)
 Snap a few pix of the big fish and let them go, try a small one and we will swap recipes sometime in May/June.
I have decided to tow my boat down there in May ,around the full moon, do an over nighter on the Drum and see what happens.    <'(((((><
