Big Ugly Fight I knew once the warmer weather came in id have abother shot at this Big black drum that ive been trying to get on my last 4 charters and finally got him. I waited to get him on an incoming tide right by a piling on top of an oyster bed. We were getting bites on the prawn and big live shrimp an finally nailed him. My charter client who was 71 years old was so happy! Took a team effort but we got em. I usually can get them on high tide at the bridges. He was caught on the pass piling of the Dunlawton bridge.
