A solid day.

Drum are fun. Late in the summer when the river is down I like to wade around with some light gear and a jig to pull drum and white bass out from under cover. I just don’t know that many other people that keep them. Don’t know why I’ve eaten them before and thought it was delicious, at least as good as channel cat meat.
