My first RED DRUM - 12 June 2008

Post by RACN35 »

When we left the boat ramp at 3:30 I had already been fishing ALL DAY.....ran my boat out of Rudee and went to the tower for some spadefish action alongside the "Graceland II" of Darrens.....I headed back in at 1 30 and was home at 2 30. Parked the Truck/Boat and jumped in my other truck and headed to lynnhaven and met Billy at CRAB CREEK Tackle shop....2 bags of ice and fresh crabs and we were under way..........The first fish, being the 40 incher came off my light tackle spinning rod........After setting there for an hour with no bites doing the "conventional" drum fishing ......I Hooked a crab on my spinning rod w/ NO weight and let it rip way way way back behind the boat......with in 30 seconds the fish sucked the crab off the surface of the water and the fight was on...........
