Productive Drum Trips — Great Bite

Great day of chasing albacore with a little bit of meat mixed in. Managed to find a couple groups of fish away from the crowd before a couple people saw me and another boat working birds and the crowd of 15 boats came in short order. I’m not a fan of fishing with crowds so went off in search of more fish (which seems impossible to most) and it paid off and we had all the shots we wanted to ourselves. Spent half the day catching meat and half the day chasing albacore, great fishing!

Great 3 days with Matthew and crew! Spent the first afternoon catching 60-70 trout with a few keepers in the mix, the day after chasing albacore (which was pretty slow for us in a steady 20 NE wind) and the last day fishing some live bottom nearshore catching lots of flounder, gray trout, gags, and some keeper speckled trout we released to get bigger along with other species. The warm spell slowed the fishing down a bit, but with more cold fronts on the way fall fishing should get right back on track.

Little behind on posts per usual, but the common theme has been dink trout. Catching over 50 per trip with a handful of keepers mixed in. Pictures from this trip included 1 keeper, trip from today we had 4 keepers and caught over 50. When the water drops another 5-8 degrees it’s going to get real fun in our area!
