Default 3-4-10 Big Lake weirs
well..I thought we'd have some warm weather today so I decided to try to catch a limit of reds....fished all 5 weirs..some a couple times and one of them front and back side....not one red..not one fish...threw every dif gulp i had in my bag and soaked skrimps while doing that.......finally decided i wasn't coming home skunked so i ran to the old jettys and soaked more skrimps....managed to come home with a ***** limit....5 black drum and 2 reds... 17 and 18 inches.......never tried black drum before so gonna grill them up with the reds tommorow and see if they are edible...

water was nice all day long cept on the ride home....wind turned SW at about 9knots and put up a 1ft chop....not a nice ride back in a 18ft flat bottom lol

Smaller drum are good eatin. Big ones are just like big Reds, not so guud.
Grind them up and they make good stuffing for fake stuffed crab patties.

I'm with Meaux on that one. Under 5 pounds you'll never know the difference versus a red once cooked.
