Episode 148 : Sheepshead tagging in NJ with Chase Wunder and Dr Keith Dunton

This week on the Tidechasers Podcast we’re joined at the round table by special guest host Paul from Great Bay Outfitters. Paul has been working closely with Chase from Rutgers University, who is also collaborating with Dr. Keith Dunton of Monmouth University, on several exciting marine research projects. In this episode, we dive into some thought-provoking science topics including offshore wind farms, sturgeon conservation, and fluke migrations that are sure to bring out the marine biology nerd in all of us. From there, we shift gears to one of the hottest fisheries in recent years: sheepshead. We break down the explosive growth of this fishery, the importance of ongoing research, and how new tagging efforts both traditional and acoustic are helping us better understand these fascinating fish. Whether you’re a passionate angler, a marine biologist, or just curious about the science happening in our local waters, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss Tide Chasers is a weekly podcast featuring local fishermen, charter captains, tackle shop owners and party boat captains among others. We discuss our local fisheries as well as opportunities to the north and south of our home waters of PA/NJ. If you or someone you know would like to be a guest, send us a message! Otherwise, we appreciate all the likes, shares, follows and subscribers as it helps us grow! Help us get the word out, hit that share button!
