Playing the DRUM!!!

There are still some big black Drum in Raritan Bay. Fun to catch! I let this jumbo go.

They are fantastic to catch! This time of year on crabs...omg. They'll take you to task.

What is the MO for catching Black Drum in the bay?,, Anchoring and fishing bottom with whole clams?, whole crabs?... do you chum??.. I will never get down there to do it, but I'm sure a few guys would like to know...bob

I'm no expert, but if you can find some rough bottom -15 feet of water and drop a bunch of crushed clams and muscles, you may attract one of the fine fighters. Fish whole salted clam with a striper hook -fish finder rig and 3 foot leader on the bottom. Good luck !

Same as above with crushed green crab , circle hook and rod in rod holder , just wait for the bend and reel

Great catch and some good tips too!!

The first time I went on my friends boat for them I couldn't belive the sounds from under the boat. Thats why they call them drum ........
