Big Drum

[bluewing]

Besides the jetties, where would be another spot to catch some big drum.

I have caught them in Oyster Bayou in the deep holes. Just use your depth finder as you run along the bayou and fish the holes you see. I have caught them behindthe weirs and also in the ship channel.

I caught one in the little "shortcut" from cal.pt marina to get to big lake. Seen some fish tailing..thought it was reds. Threw a piece of crack crabbed and boom. 48 lb black drum. Caught it on 10lb test

Cracked crab at cal point. I have caught 6 or 7 of them there the past couple of years.

Yep, all the places mentioned are good for big drum.

Best baits IMO are cracked or whole crabs and cut bait [mullet is good].

I was out with a friend, and baited up a whole crab. As I threw out the bait, I told him if something takes this bait....it is going to be big. About 10 minutes later, he was fighting a 30 lb black drum.

Here is one I caught in May on live bait. Second pic black drum was caught on soft plastic in Turners bay.
