Black Drum

Down this way there called Ghetto Snapper

I've heard the called that around here also Never heard of anyone eating the big ones but a buddies dad loves the 15-20 inchers, think I'll stick with the reds.

Eat'n wise. If you talk to 20 different people you get 20 different answers....But after talking with some of the old local's, they used to be so thick in here they would coral'em and throw in a stick of dynamite just to get rid of'em.

From a sporting point of view, on 20lb. test it was a blast. Next one I'm throwing a sadel on and going for a ride.

Just got in a bit ago with some nice bass action and too many blues.

Eat'n wise you right and all 20 have a different way to cook them. The small or medium are always so so if your not lookin for them but the larger ones frequent or bay system every year at this time. Personally between little league baseball, work, and yardwork 2 acres I can't get anytime to fish, all this talk about fishing is making me jealous.

Yeah I hear that. That's why I'm taking it when I can get it. I didn't fish at all last season and vowed not to let that happen again this year.

The neighbors gave the drum the thumbs down, but their not giving up yet, they have another recipe to try. I'm not too optimistic.

I hear ya, normally I'm fishing 2-3 times a month 10 months a year this last year I think I made it out 7 times. Like most all here I have so much time and MONEY invested in fishing/boating and I so rarely get to go, it makes me sick, like a junky with no fix.

Boy are you guys right on.
When I was young and did not have a lot of money, I fished
4 to 5 times a week. Now older and not so much smarter with a little more money .
I might fish 4 to 5 times a year . Whats wrong with this picture? Just gotta go do it........
See ya, Ken
