Drum Fishing Charters
Up to 6 passengers
Drum Fishing Charters have been outstanding the last couple seasons. The Drum Fishing heats up in mid May and runs through the first week or so of June. It’s a fairly short season, and the best dates, centered around the moon get booked up early. Fishing the tides is essential and we typically change up our trip times to coincide with the best tide. We fish exclusively in the Delaware Bay for Drum in May and June, which is definitely your best bet at a successful Drum Fishing Charter.
Our Primary Drum Fishing Charter Boat is our 34′ Mirage Center Console which is perfect for Drum Fishing. The run is very short, usually only 4-7 miles out the Cape May Canal to the Drum Fishing Grounds. Fishing for Drum in Cape May is an anchor up and chunk type of fishing. Clams are the bait of choice and it is not uncommon to have multiple digit trips when the bite is ON! The fish range from small 20 pounders up to 75 pound monsters. Fish cleaning services are available back at the dock so you can take your Drum home with you. We also have our 48′ Ocean available selectively for Drum Fishing Charters in the Delaware Bay.
We offer both day and night Drum Fishing Charters out of Cape May. The Drum definitely like to feed at night and often the best trips depart just before sunset, so you can be anchored up in the Drum Grounds by dark.
