Title: Black Drum caught
Post by: ped579 on October 10, 2008, 05:48:22 PM
A Black Drum was caught on IBSP today that weighed iin at a nice 63.1 pounds and was 48 inches long.  NICE... t^

There were a few bass caught as well but not necessarily in the park.  All were caught on clams even the Drum.

I guess the clams are still in the running for best over all fish catching bait right now.

Good Luck to all

Happy Catching

That's a nice fish!  What type of setup are they using to land these huge drum I read about!  I know my surf plugging rod would probably break in two rofla!

I am sure that they were not targeting them.  I would say it was probably an fishfinder or something similar. But it was caught on a clam, something that is very abundant in the park.

If you fish the surf a lot you getr used to using the waves to help you bring those big ones in.

Yeah, that's true!  I know they get them up into the 100+lbs at times.  I don't know if my 14# test would withstand that...although, I don't know if it will hold up to a decent size striper ;D??  I need to get to the B&T and get some PP or Sufix around the 30# mark with a decent shock leader!
