Dang those were some huge bluefish man. Sorry I watched this late brother, got operated and home medication soooo great, I'm good now brother and just watched this video! Robert you tha Man, to leave everything behind and your the country for different species of fish. Let us know if your going back to Panama again brother. tight lines never stop brother!
Robert Field , I want to go on my birthday which is in January. please keep me in mind, I do want to go brother. BTW, Badass videos, I love all of em. Tight lines never stop!
We call Blue fish Tailor. We love eating them, gut and cook whole, stuff with butter, salt pepper, tomato and onion. Squeeze lemon on to taste once cooked. 👍👍 Typically we get them 300mm (12 inches) but sometimes upto 500mm (19.5 inches) in our Estuary systems. They get to 1.2m (4 feet) out in the ocean.
Robert It's good to see you made it to the DMV. Yes spot are real. Good bait for blues and striper in this region. Can't wait till you hit Maryland. You'll love it. Good times bro.
rudee inlet!!!!! my local waters!! i got tons of videos on this body of water check em out robert!! from reds to blues rudees got it. thats so awesome and your fishing with a guy i know! id love to meet ya man and like you said towards end of the video Virginia beach is rad!
7citiesfishing I have lived here my whole life and haven’t fished rudee yet but this is my first year of heavy kayak fishing I’ll have to make it out there lol
Bluefish are an absolute blast to catch. Fighting them near docks like that must be a lot of fun. I saw someone make smoked fish dip with bluefish. That sounds pretty darn delicious. Thanks for bringing us along.
Well what another great video buddy. I see Meghan can definitely handle her own and out fish the guys. I see she can out drink them as well haha. I bet that was a blast being with them over there Rob.
Awesome video Rob! Your videos continue to be an inspiration to us. Can't wait to see you in some salt water again, but always dig your videos fresh or salt!
Great episode brother!! Love catching Blues, I have yet to catch one kayak fishing! They are definitely the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever caught! #YouTheManRobert!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
sweet man, blues are so much fun especially on topwater! If you ever get around to NJ in spring hit the inlets with like pencil poppers or tsunami talkin poppers, blues get real crazy on them
Ok, finally signed up for my own account ;). Used to be under my husband's name Richard . We look forward to Tuesday's because a new episode is coming ! My favorite Vlog to watch right now :). Anyway, thank you for sharing the journey with us :). Looking forward to all the adventures :):
Va beach used to go to rudees all the time. Hopefully I can move back one day! Check out Bob's fishing hole in Chesapeake next time your out there monster bass there!
Another great video, if you ever make your way to Rhode Island we got stripers, blues, fluke, black sea bass, tautog. Love what your doing with the toy hauler, I also have a travel trailer and would love to send you to nice campgrounds near nice fishies in RI
Great episode! Have only caught one (small) Blue many, many yrs ago surf fishing in St. Augustine. We used live finger Mullet, and most of the bait was retrieved bit in half.
hey man if you want some nice sized stripers check out the Roanoke river in plymouth north carolina. i grew up there and have caught an insane amount of stripers out of that river. the cool part is the river dumps into the albamarle sound and that dumps into the ocean. and if you want some big bass i suggest go trolling by the edenton bridge in the albemarle sound
If you are still in the VA/MD area and plan on hitting the eastern shore, Tuckahoe State Park is about 30min east of the bay bridge. Nice campground and a small lake with extensive creek system. There are a few big bass (4lb my best there but heard about a 7lb) but the quantity is always good. I started fishing it in a canoe then a jon boat. Work up the creek, enjoy shore lunch and then drift back to the launch. Pads and weeds and wood. Chain Pickerel are common and my personal best came out of Tuckahoe. Never looked into the inshore options available for eastern shore of MD/VA but Tuckahoe may be well suited as a base to check them out.
F A N T A S T I C videoooooooo !!! even if Megan was the better fisher of the crew ; remember : Stripers are for boys, Blufish are for men !!! congrats Robert !!! another fantastic video !!
Well... I am glad I found this video! Just moved into the area and thinking about putting in at the same inlet tomorrow in my Yak. You guys put in next to the Virginia Beach Aquarium right? Tried out a small area in/near Lynnhaven inlet on Friday for a few hours after work until chased off the water by a storm. This looks promising! I have only caught a few small blues from the beach a few years ago... and never a striper. Thanks for sharing!
hay Rob those blue fish you are catching are standard size in AUSTRALIA and great eating if bleed. great with bacon and eggs.they are also called Tailor here
The size of those little ones or preferably smaller are fine to eat. But my suggested recipe isnt smoking em. Foil boat on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil and water, let the fillet cook half through and then pour a few shots of whiskey on em and a very thin layer of buffalo sauce. Used to toss em all back now I'll keep any under 4-5lbs. Obviously bleed immediately and cut out bloodlines before cooking.
@@YakFishField been binge watching your videos lately. Awesome to get a reply. Your vids are amazing. You threw back a lot of good stripers in this vid and/or a few others. The small ones (28-34in) are pretty well equivalent to grouper. Just did blackened striper sandwiches with chipotle mayo yesterday. Absolutely amazing.
Are you ever going to come back to VB because I am trying to get into kayak fishing and it would be awesome to meet you sometime. Also I was the exactly 800th like.
I got a good bluefish poke recipe. Easy, and quite delicious. Best to bleed them after catching if you want to keep. And the smaller size are the good ones for poke.
Robert Field yessir, cut 1lbs of filet into approx. 1 inch cubes, toss in a bowl. Mix in ~2 tbsp soy sauce, ~1 tsp toasted sesame oil, ~1 tsp gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste), 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, ~1/4 cup finely sliced green onion. Obviously you can adjust the measurements to taste. Or use whatever fish you want. But it's a good way to use bluefish, at least to me.
If you get them on ice fast it helps a lot. I like to smoke blue fish or make fish cakes with them. If you sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice and wait for the flesh turn whitish they taste less fishy.
I’m heading north and hitting every state. My schedules pretty solid though man, I have my route and plan pretty dialed in months in advance. I have to, or my life gets pretty disorganized and miserable pretty fast, haha.
Robert Field for real though because of you and all of the awesome videos u put out I went and got my first kayak ( ocean kayak,prowler) I love it, so thank you man let me know if u are ever in southern Michigan would be great to go out fishing with you.
Have always eaten Blues. Smaller are better, as with any highly predatory fish, less likely to be accumulated environmental toxins. This is why many states have no minimum size requirements and encourage anglers to keep and eat smaller Blues. Bleed them first by snipping area below gills. Baked fillets with butter, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning is great!
I saw a guy reach into a Blue's mouth for the hook one time and it pealed his thumb like a banana, that's why I use a 9 inch steel leader before my hook..... When the blues are feeding on a school of pogies (manhadin) the big strippers will sit on the bottom under the school of feeding blues and catch the pieces that drop down to the bottom. Many times while snagging pogies for bait I've pulled in half a pogie......
Hey man.. I love your channel. . It's the only one that my wife will watch. We are from crystals river Florida you know the place! . My wife is handicapped and can't go fishing anymore on the boat so we do bank fishing. Her birthday is coming up. . Any way she can get a shirt or hat .. or information on how to obtain would be appreciated. . Thanks bro. Tugjunkie1. Fish on
That’s awesome man, so glad you both enjoy the show. I don’t have any shirts or hats yet but I will soon! I’ll announce it. Get back to me when I do and I’ll get a couple out to ya.
Robert Field me and a friend made the mistake of going out three miles on the cbbt in kayaks...... never again we weren’t prepared and the current and wind fought us two and a half hours of constant paddle to land
Oh. I screamed no at the same time you did and that fish came off. I have family in that area and have never fished there. Awesome
Yeah man I was bummed, but that’s what keeps us coming back for more! Really cool area to fish
Thanks for the shot of the Virginia Beach EMS Marine Rescue Boat. Those crews are mostly volunteers serving the citizens and visitors to the city.
That's awesome, I had no idea.
I love when he lands the fish and the fish starts flopping around "Oh God, oh God". lol
Hahaha those teeth, man!
Dang those were some huge bluefish man. Sorry I watched this late brother, got operated and home medication soooo great, I'm good now brother and just watched this video! Robert you tha Man, to leave everything behind and your the country for different species of fish. Let us know if your going back to Panama again brother. tight lines never stop brother!
Thanks my man! I’m in Panama every January, April and August.
Robert Field , I want to go on my birthday which is in January. please keep me in mind, I do want to go brother. BTW, Badass videos, I love all of em. Tight lines never stop!

Typically we get them 300mm (12 inches) but sometimes upto 500mm (19.5 inches) in our Estuary systems. They get to 1.2m (4 feet) out in the ocean.
Sounds pretty tasty. Good to know!
We call them Shad in South Africa. The young green shad average 2- 3kg and the big blues shad get to 10kg
Robert It's good to see you made it to the DMV. Yes spot are real. Good bait for blues and striper in this region. Can't wait till you hit Maryland. You'll love it. Good times bro.
I had no idea! Really cool area
Another awesome video, really enjoying see all different parts of the US and what they all have to offer. Keep up the great work!
I’m enjoying it too! Every state has been special in its own way. Thanks for coming along for the journey man.
I am not a big fishing type, but these vids are very entertaining and educational. Thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying em!

I live in the area as well! What time of year is best for blues in Rudee?
Bluefish are an absolute blast to catch. Fighting them near docks like that must be a lot of fun. I saw someone make smoked fish dip with bluefish. That sounds pretty darn delicious. Thanks for bringing us along.
I bet they make a killer dip. Fun for sure!
Love the vid. especially the intro about going out and fishing the following morning. Awesome!
Haha thanks Jose!
It is a paradise for fishermen! Beautiful bluefish!!!
Yep!
Well what another great video buddy. I see Meghan can definitely handle her own and out fish the guys. I see she can out drink them as well haha. I bet that was a blast being with them over there Rob.
Haha yes she can do both! Super fun day
Robert Field I see that haha. Jay has a great partner that's for sure.
Awesome video Rob! Your videos continue to be an inspiration to us. Can't wait to see you in some salt water again, but always dig your videos fresh or salt!
That is a for real hangover when you try to hook your bait on backwards. Lol.. Great video.
Hahaha the struggle was real
Great episode brother!! Love catching Blues, I have yet to catch one kayak fishing! They are definitely the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever caught! #YouTheManRobert!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
They’re a blast dude!
sweet man, blues are so much fun especially on topwater! If you ever get around to NJ in spring hit the inlets with like pencil poppers or tsunami talkin poppers, blues get real crazy on them
Sounds like a blast! They’re a sweet fish

Thanks for following along on my journey Tamara!!
Really had a great time Robert. Cant wait for you to come back to our area.
Likewise brother! Thanks for showing me such a good time. One less shot next time.
Va beach used to go to rudees all the time. Hopefully I can move back one day! Check out Bob's fishing hole in Chesapeake next time your out there monster bass there!
I’ll do that man! Really cool area
Another great video, if you ever make your way to Rhode Island we got stripers, blues, fluke, black sea bass, tautog. Love what your doing with the toy hauler, I also have a travel trailer and would love to send you to nice campgrounds near nice fishies in RI
I’ll be fishing RI in a couple days. Wish me luck!
Robert Field please hook a nice trophy Stiper!!! Best of luck man
You’ve got to fish the bay bridge tunnel if you ever come back. One of the best spots on the east coast for kayak anglers.
Great episode! Have only caught one (small) Blue many, many yrs ago surf fishing in St. Augustine. We used live finger Mullet, and most of the bait was retrieved bit in half.
Really fun fish, but a little sketchy when those teeth and treble hooks are floppin around the kayak.
Ditto on that. :)
That was so excellent! Going to get a line out now...pumped! Ty for sharing.
Thanks Chucky!

Good to know!

Good to know!
Top water bluefish and striper action is much more fun.You need to get up here to the northeast for the fall run to get in on some real action!!
I’m in Maine now, that northeast enough?!
Yea I would say so...how the fishing up there ? I’m in CT but fish mostly Connecticut , Long Island and Rhode Island
Rob I feel your pain when you lost that big one. It's happened to me many of times. Great video btw.
Heartbreaker for sure, but that’s what keeps us coming back for more! Thanks man
Keep up the great works guys.
All the best,
Jimmy Willis
Thanks Jimmy!

I'm living in williamsburg now! Glad you caught a bunch of fish!
Beautiful area!
This is awesome !!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Justin

The small ones (28-34in) are pretty well equivalent to grouper. Just did blackened striper sandwiches with chipotle mayo yesterday. Absolutely amazing.
Up on cape cod where I live are giant blues and stripers. My PB blue is 15pounds and striper is 35 pounds
Those are beasts! I’ll be hitting Cape Cod and Boston.
You should come out to lake St.Clair in Michigan and fish for musky!
I plan to! Next summer is the great lakes
Awesome vid! Can't wait for you to make it back to Oregon.
Me neither!
Another awesome video Robert!!!!! Way to HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH!
Thanks man!
Are you ever going to come back to VB because I am trying to get into kayak fishing and it would be awesome to meet you sometime. Also I was the exactly 800th like.
I hope so, I really liked VB! Not sure when but down to get together when I make it back that way
Blue fish fry when they're 8 or 10 inches long we call them skipjacks and fry them up in a pan they are tasty little kippers......
Good to know
Thanks for this video !!! Wonderful
Kiss from France
Thank you!
I got a good bluefish poke recipe. Easy, and quite delicious. Best to bleed them after catching if you want to keep. And the smaller size are the good ones for poke.
Wow I wouldn’t have thought of bluefish poke. Now I’m curious!
Robert Field yessir, cut 1lbs of filet into approx. 1 inch cubes, toss in a bowl. Mix in ~2 tbsp soy sauce, ~1 tsp toasted sesame oil, ~1 tsp gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste), 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, ~1/4 cup finely sliced green onion. Obviously you can adjust the measurements to taste. Or use whatever fish you want. But it's a good way to use bluefish, at least to me.
Good to see you give VA a shot. However, the other side of the state is where its at!
just a quick note, i have not ever caught a bluefish so this episode is still bad ass!
I’ll definitely be back to Virginia
If you get them on ice fast it helps a lot. I like to smoke blue fish or make fish cakes with them. If you sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice and wait for the flesh turn whitish they taste less fishy.
Good tips, thanks!
My home town! I miss it so much! :.(
Awesome place to fish and just hang out!
Great video as always
Thanks man!
What size was that penn slammer III you used?
3500
Man I must have just missed y’all out there...wish I could been out there smashin em with ya! Nice fish!
Super fun place to fish man. I’ll be back!
Robert Field definitely have to let me know. Would love the opportunity to fish with ya! Good luck on the rest of your journey across America!
Just wait til you make it up to the North East... a 30"+ striper or gator blue is pretty normal up by us in NY/NJ.
Oh I’ll be fishin for em!
Beautiful Video Congratulations friend! *hug!* 👍🎣
Thanks!
What kinda rod are you using
A Lamiglas PK724S, part of their Paco series.
Awesome!! When was this, July?
Heading my way NJ/NY ?
Jersey bit quiet with Stripers
What's your next destination?
Thanks for the video
I’m heading north and hitting every state. My schedules pretty solid though man, I have my route and plan pretty dialed in months in advance. I have to, or my life gets pretty disorganized and miserable pretty fast, haha.
Great video, good content. Like what you're doing
Thanks Lee!
For some reason this video was suggested to and then I find out you were in my home town!! Weird
Give this man his own show
Great vid keep it up living the good life
Thanks my man, I will as long as I possibly can.
Robert Field for real though because of you and all of the awesome videos u put out I went and got my first kayak ( ocean kayak,prowler) I love it, so thank you man let me know if u are ever in southern Michigan would be great to go out fishing with you.
11:21 What was that about bait there?
Chris Gruno Pink snapper for bait
You should come to Montauk, NY
I’d love to!
Robert Field you would have a blast, maybe you can give me some tips and trips on starting up on UA-cam if you come out here.
Awesome video! Was everyone in the video using live spot as bait?
Nice video bro,i personally like to catch them on poppers
I bet that’s a blast!
What month was this fishing trip? I see it was published in July.
June
Love the content!👍
I’m so glad!
What time of year was this?
Summertime
Robert Field
Thanks for the reply and the informative videos. Keep it up!
Blues are frustrating at times. They spit the hooks a lot when they jolt out the water. That’s why I use 8- 9/0 Gami’s or beaked hooks
Yeah man losing that big one was a heartbreaker
Bluefish is very good to eat and doesnt have to be smoked if you know how to cook it. i grew up fishing on the bay eating blues
Good to know! How do you cook em?
That’s the ramp I use to go off
Have always eaten Blues. Smaller are better, as with any highly predatory fish, less likely to be accumulated environmental toxins. This is why many states have no minimum size requirements and encourage anglers to keep and eat smaller Blues. Bleed them first by snipping area below gills. Baked fillets with butter, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning is great!
Good to know!
You need to come back!
there again Robert... Eastern nc has chopper blues....come here man
I’m hitting every state bro. Let me get there. Haha
Robert Field you get here and I'll put u on whatever type of fish u wanna catch bro
I saw a guy reach into a Blue's mouth for the hook one time and it pealed his thumb like a banana, that's why I use a 9 inch steel leader before my hook.....
When the blues are feeding on a school of pogies (manhadin) the big strippers will sit on the bottom under the school of feeding blues and catch the pieces that drop down to the bottom.
Many times while snagging pogies for bait I've pulled in half a pogie......
Yeah their mouths are crazy
nice, looks like fun
It was bro. When y’all flyin out?!
Robert Field not sure yet. Rex is pretty busy. I’ll see how his schedule is in September
Would have been cool to see Kayak Kevin on the water with you guys.
Nice snapper blues
Yep
Sup dude great content every upload
Thanks for following along with the journey Oscar. I’ll keep em comin!
Once your done with US will you go to other countries?
Maybe!
You should got the amazon
Big cat fish there
Kk gracias
Oooh man that bluuuuu got chomped. 😳
Haha yes he did
A sign of a true pro, catching fish after getting hammered the night before. 😂 another quality outing Robert.
Hahaha the struggle was real
Quote of the episode.
Megan: "Takes longer to revive the big ones."
Haha
Nice... lol
Hey man.. I love your channel. . It's the only one that my wife will watch. We are from crystals river Florida you know the place! . My wife is handicapped and can't go fishing anymore on the boat so we do bank fishing. Her birthday is coming up. . Any way she can get a shirt or hat .. or information on how to obtain would be appreciated. .
Thanks bro.
Tugjunkie1.
Fish on
That’s awesome man, so glad you both enjoy the show. I don’t have any shirts or hats yet but I will soon! I’ll announce it. Get back to me when I do and I’ll get a couple out to ya.
Robert Field btw. Our last name is also field..
11:18 best catch of the day !!
Haha she’s a rad chick
Those "spots" taste great! J.S.
Too bad you didn't keep any of the bluefish. Seasoned or breaded and baked in an oven, they turn out quite tasty. I've had them many times.
Good to know!
Great videography
Thanks Gary!
Small Blues make good shark bait but I didn’t like blue fish either. This area is fantastic for fishing tho. Love me some Virginia beach lol
Yeah man our original plan was to fish the CBBT but the wind would’ve made it dangerous. Plan B worked out pretty well!
Robert Field me and a friend made the mistake of going out three miles on the cbbt in kayaks...... never again we weren’t prepared and the current and wind fought us two and a half hours of constant paddle to land
has Magan his one UA-cam channel ?
Nope
Dang!
Nice snapper at 9:41
Don't be a pig.
Pound for pound one of the strongest fish I have ever caught!
One fish two fish red fish BLUE fish!
Yep!
How do ya like that pedal kayak?
I like it a lot
🔰I love this video :Very nice game 🐋🐟
Thanks!
