OH BROTHER!
 

Had my brother and his friend Joel come to town for a couple days. *Took them down to the CBBT for flounder and black drum yesterday on my friend Craig's boat. *Ended up with 10 nice flounder up to about 5 pounds and hooked up several black drum casting bucktails to them around the islands. We were done by 1:00 pm. *Good day of fishing, let them pull on all the big fish *;) * Had a good fish dinner last night.

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

NICE! The Black Drum are rumered to wounder up here from time to time, defantly a fish on my list. ;D

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Good looking fish. Ever bottum fish for the drums with cracked crab? We pulled some hoss's out last year down in FL on the intercoastal.

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Definitely a good day...so you just sight cast the drum? Pretty cool. I've never seen one cruising around. I've only caught a couple of the small ones b4.

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Yeah we sight cast to them. Most days they wont bite but every now and then they will hit a bucktail if you can find a larger school of them. I think its a competitive feeding thing with them. *

Yes we catch them on crab and clam baits. MUCH more than on artificials.

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Where did you catch the flounder, what tide, water depth, etc..? Going friday to the CBBT and any info would be a big help.

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Nice drum! Here is a 50+ lber a couple guys in our club got this past weekend.

I love the smaller ones (less than 10lbs) for eating. They are great...just like giant whiting. ;)

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Great Pic's and fish, Congrats!!

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

The flounder were caught at several different locations around the cbbt. We power drift live spot & croaker for them. The tide had started out when we got out there and was ebbing the entire time. We quit around 1 pm. *As far as depth goes we were in 40 to 25 ft. most of the time but the structure is more important than the depth. We lose allot of lead but we usually catch bigger than avg. fish as we use larger live baits that the small flounder cant deal with. *Hope this helps.

Stinky: Thats a nice drum there. ALL the drum we caught were released on this trip by the way. We ate flounder, tilefish, and seabass for dinner.. MMMMM good!

Re: OH BROTHER!
 

Nice to see you've got your MOJO back there SP. Things in my neck of the woods are heating up. Flounder on the wrecks are rockin' right now. Spades are everywhere as well. Water in the bay looks so nasty that I haven't bothered with fishing inside. Next time I catch a break I may try bayside.

Nice report....

Lance: Have to get you to give me an education on the inshore waters around Chinco. I do spend some time there on the weekends sometimes.

Hey, we can do that. I hope to resume a somewhat normal life after 7/8. We'll see how it shakes out...
