Black Drum – They're Keepers!

bill-cummins-iv-drum-2The Black Drumfish season continues to produce a good variety of keepers. The average size ranges between 45 and 75 pounds. The bite has been good at all hours of the day and night and promises to go on into most of June.

On 5-25, Capt. Joe Pritchard on the Big Game had a family charter trip. They traveled here for vacation from Albuquerque, New Mexico and at the end of the day, they had 3 nice keepers including this one being held by one happy teenager.

Caveman Charters (Hooked Up II) fished some Drum trips this week and caught several nice size fish.

The 4-hour Party Boat (Fiesta) departs daily ay 8 AM and 4PM. They will be bottom fishing for Sea Bass and Flounder. Recent Sea Bass trips have been good on this boat. The heaviest one weighed was 4.8 pounds. The Porgy IV (our 8-hour boat) sails at 8 AM every day and is fishing further offshore on wrecks for Sea Bass. His success rate has been very good.
