Pensacola, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Targeting shallow water drum in the upper blackwater bay system
On Tuesday August 25th, Pensacola taxidermist Kevin Glover and I set out to target monster black drum in very shallow water. I always see these monster fish in the upper bay systems this time of year and sightfishing them can be a blast.
We saw over 15 that morning and I was able to get 3 to take my Berkley Gulp crab that was placed gentley in front of them.
The pics below are of a 44lb fish. Fish was released unharmed...
