After the fiasco Doug and I had on Saturday (along with the epic fishing) Doug decided that he wanted his boys to get on in some of this awesome drum fishing we have.    So I had Doug and his two sons yesterday afternoon for some more drum action.

Conditions were not ideal for sight fishing – it was very windy with scattered rain and murky water.   I had a good feeling we could catch them on bait though.   We sat up at my favorite little bait spot and sure enough 5 minutes later the first rod is doubled over, then a couple minutes later BOOM another bite.  Game on!   We had pretty steady action for a couple hours.

We ran out of bait  so I got the cast net and went out and netted a few more mullet – enough to get us through the last hour of light.  We sat back up with fresh mullet and soaked them for a little bit longer.  The action wasn’t as hot as it was before but we still managed 2 drum bites (1 came undone) a bluefish, and a small trout.  The last drum bite came just in time, after the longest drought without a bite (maybe 20 mins).  So after we released the buzzer beater fish we cruised home while watching a beautiful sunset over the sound.  Great afternoon ,thanks guys!
