Fishing a LIVE! Crab Under Sunken Concrete Ships in the Chesapeake Bay

Join my wife and I for an action packed fishing trip to the infamous Concrete Ships. Located in Kiptopeke State Park on the lower eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. In this video we will target red drum, flounder, sheepshead and tautog. I talk briefly about each setup I use and my reasoning behind my techniques. Additionally at the end of the video I tell an unbelievable tale of something very shocking that just barely missed being on video. I hope you all enjoy!

  1. nice video Abe! Absolutely certain given the time of year you were on the water, that was 99% a Sturgeon. They get huge, and they do breach during their spawn. We live in RVA, and can go down to the river here in the city and watch them breach in the evening hours. it’s startling to hear them when we’re fishing at night!

  2. Sounds like you saw a sturgeon for sure. We made a trip from KY to the Chesapeake area just now. Couple nights ago on the Rappahannock River we had a solid 7ft 200lber completely clear the water and land within 15 foot of my buddy

  3. Hey Abel I planning a camping trip to kiptopeke…when is the best time fishing there…do you know much about the camp ground..I was thinking October??I will be able to bring my cutbacks…
