Details: Black Drum
So this girl right here named Krista caught this big ugly. The name of this fish is Black Drum. Fresh Crab for bait. Casted and Reeled the whole thing in by herself. ...more No waves today, very calm. Hot and sunny weather outside so we wore sunscreen. Was not in deep water. It was shallow. Wind felt great and gave a nice breeze for me and my lady. She is smokin hot just like the fish she caught. #proud

Details: Yellowtail Snapper with a Bonita as cut bait, 4/0 circle hook, 20 lb braid w/ 40 lb leader
Gotta work for the big ones. Sunny, few clouds, 70 FOW with a current ripping through. All starts with attracting the fish with tons of chum: you never can have ...more too much. Free lined a weightless ball of Bonita back behind the boat, sometimes up to 100 yards back. The fish are smart though so you have to make sure your bait floats at the same speed as the chum line. Lots of work but worth the fight
Details: Gulf Flounder with a 1/4 oz silver lead head, strawberry and chartreuse Hackberry hustler, Shimano Curado w/ 12 lb test
@cole_papa and I finally found our flounder hole! Casted along a 50 yard long pier, w/ a slow retrieve and occasional jigs past the pilings. A storm blew through ...more earlier in the day so the water level was a couple inches higher than normal. 1-2 FOW allowed the flounder to ambush the pogies that were schooling on the top. The oyster and mud bottom was the perfect environment for all the flounder.

Got out on the water by 6 a.m., anchored in the surf, and hooked up with this 38" bull by 7. Cloudy with a SW wind in 3-4 FOW. Casting into the section where ...more the waves were breaking with a medium pace retrieve was working, as well as live shrimp on a popping cork. End of the day total was 23 specks and 4 reds.

Details: Red (redfish) Drum with a 1/4 oz jig, brown plastic bull minnow with neon tail, Shimano Curado w/ 12 lb test
Weather was sunny, 85 and a southeastern wind allowed our boat to drift clean along the marshes in the western end of the lake. Spotted a slick near one section ...more of the marsh and spot casted to it. Repeatedly did 3 reels and a jig on multiple casts and this bull hooked up.
Details: Red (redfish) Drum with a Silver jighead, Slayer S.S.T., Shimano Curado
Last cast of the day before heading back to the marina. Saw multiple bull reds tailing along an oyster reef in the marsh. Drifted with the current and spot casted ...more right in front of the bull's nose for multiple casts. The fish finally took it and landed him within 5 minutes.
