Fishing Report 03/13/06
If you want to catch fish,
whether it be redfish or drum, just throw them fresh dead shrimp
and hang on. The reds and drum, both puppy drum (keeper size) and
the huge drum are all loving fresh dead shrimp. The oversized black
drum are still in the ship channel at Ingleside, and the puppy drum
are all over the flats in with the redfish. I took Aerich, my 7 year
old grandson, out and he fought 3 and that was enough for him. They
ranged in the size of 37 1/2 to 40 inches. The smaller legal drum
are a really good eating fish. They are great cooked any way you
would cook redfish.
I have found reds and drum
in South Bay, Morris Cummings, and California Hole as well. I have
tried mud minnows and frozen dead shrimp and caught nothing but throw
in a fresh dead shrimp you will really see the difference. I have
caught some on fresh cut mullet, but they are few and far between
right now.
Good catching to you,
