RED AND BLACK DRUM

7-14-2013--Had a thirteen year old and his dad today.  Only had until 10 AM but they caught a pile of black drum most of which were undersized.  The boy did catch his first keeper redfish and first keeper black drum.  I'm told the larger black drum bit well starting about 10:30.  Early in the morning we were waved over by a man in a sail boat.  He was stuck on a bar but still near the channel.  He told us he had gotten stuck there afternoon before and had to spend the night.  I noticed he had at least two lady passengers.  They were taking the boat from Rockport to Port O'Connor for repair when he ran aground on the channel edge.  He jumped in the water and tried to extract his anchor but it wouldn't budge.  He had me pull the boat side ways by hooking a rope to the top of the mast.  When I started to pull he cranked up his motor and ran to the front of the

boat to pull the anchor in.  It got exciting for a moment when I gunned the engine to pull him free, the sail boat leaned to it's side and his motor took over.  My customer was barely able to get the rope loose from our cleat before his boat drug us away.  Anyway it all worked out well and the sail boat continued on it's way.
