Have been scouting new waters before my friend comes down from Greensboro to fish this weekend. He's an avid bass fisherman, told him I'd try to put him on some drum.

Caught these 2 while walking the bank and casting topwaters and vudu shrimp. Lots of blow-ups. Drum were busting bait actively, even saw a big shrimp get chased all the way onto the sand right near my feet.

With all the bait in the water it was harder to hook up even though they were actively feeding on the surface. Right before it started getting dark I decided to work my spook through the bait balls and then dead stick it and let it float for much longer pauses. This helped it stand out better/injured looking from the live bait offerings swimming around. Fish released.

You are a dang drum czar! What time of day were you catching them?

Haha I'm no czar but been getting into them better lately with better temps. I usually fish either really early or late afternoon/evening. Lately it's been after work, and the bite turns on as the sun starts fading, 6pm and later.

Are they hitting the top water on the dead stick or while you're walking it?

These were hitting it while it sat still dead sticking but I only do that if they're crushing a lot of live bait around me. Yesterday they were hitting it while walking it

It is a PC world, and since I was homeschooled, I am therefore offended and will seek settlement via class-action lawsuit.

Fishermen are funny.

Yes indeed fishermen ARE fuzzy.

What exactly does being home schooled have to do with a missed line of text? Good luck with the lawsuit BTW.

We joke that we are both naive and can't read because we were both homeschooled.

Probably more cause y'all are from JoCo then being homeschooled but JoCo homeschooled, how did y'all find the Internet.

Heard about it on the radio last year! Thank goodness we had discovered the radio the year prior when we traded in our mules for horseless carriages
