Additionally, anglers targeting black drum in Port Orange may find success using live baitfish such as mullet or pinfish. Fishing with live bait allows anglers to present a natural and enticing offering to black drum, increasing the likelihood of enticing strikes. Whether fishing from a boat, pier, or shoreline, anglers can employ these techniques to target black drum year-round in Port Orange, enjoying the thrill of hooking into these powerful and delicious fish.
