BLACK DRUM IN MOVING WATER

11-4-2012--Today's fishermen could only fish 2 and 1/2 hours so we had to make every minute count.  We got on the water at 10:00  and had to be back at the dock at 12:30.  About 10:30 a very light north wind started blowing.  It was just enough to push some water out of back lake areas.  I took the boat as far as it could float into a back lake drain and anchored up.  Reds were all undersized but keeper black drum were plentiful.  They caught the legal limit of 10 keepers, released 4 of the smaller ones and kept 6 for dinner.  The light north wind died about 30 minutes before we had to quit so the fishing slowed at the end.  It was good to have a better day than yesterday when I was embarrassed at the dock by having only two keeper fish.
