SPADEFISH At Chesapeake Light Tower - {Catch, Clean, Cook}

Great day of fishing for Spadefish at the Chesapeake Light Tower in the Atlantic Ocean. We launched the boat out of Rudee inlet in Virginia Beach. These fish are POWERFUL! The drag stays screamin'. Yes, my wrist hurt.. I realize I said it about a dozen times, sorry LOL. Hope you enjoy the video and even learn a little about "how to" catch these spadefish. Subscribe!!

By far some of the most fun fish the Bay area has to offer!

Excellent work! Can't wait to get out there!

Let’s roll!

Hey great video. I’m taking my boys to the tower Saturday for the first time to catch spade. What size split shot do you use?

[@jamesvoutdoors7745]

Biggest one I found. Good luck out there!

[@brandone6252]

What pound braid you using I have a Penn battle 3

[@banksjeep]

Awesome video. How long does it take to get out there. And how deep is the water there.

[@jamesvoutdoors7745]

About 30-45 minutes depending on boat speed (aka how fast the conditions will let you). I think it’s around 40’

[@walterdouglas9050]

awesome video. Great job. What rod reel combo y’all using?

[@jamesvoutdoors7745]

Thanks! This is a Penn Battle 2 4000 size, mounted on a Penn squadron rod, 7’ long

[@walterdouglas9050]

I’m gonna guess and medium action with a fast tip

[@bobbychanthamixay8369]

How are you rigging these? Small hook with a split shot above?

[@jamesvoutdoors7745]

That’s it!!
