First big drum

Yep, I'm jealous. Nice fish.
 
Congrats!!

One of my bucket list objectives!!
 
Catching big drum on light tackle is my favorite kind of fishing. I like to go up in the creeks and find a school of upper slot size, that will keep you busy for a while. Nice catch!
 
Nice! 40”?
 
That’s awesome. I’m still trying to catch my first puppy drum, trying to convince the girlfriend to take our kayaks to bike week to give it another try.
 
nice redfish. Watched a guy land around a 5 footer at Kure Beach a couple of years back. That fish had a head as big as a bait bucket and took around 20 minutes to land on the beach. The year before that I watched a couple land a 6ft blacktip shark on a rainy day.

Needless to say, I no longer wade out to cast anymore. I am a purely recreational drinking fisherman nowadays.
 
Last day of fishing. Me sad.
I’ve probably caught more fish this week than every other trip combined. Many over slot drum and a few slot drum that are filets and ready to cook. We also caught quite a few chopper blues. Time to get up and head out.

Nice!!! I saw you post over on P&S last night. Those Choppers look like they were fun too. So far, a big drum has eluded me. Maybe one day.
 
Haven't been to Lookout since '91. Last time we were there a nor'easter kicked our tails, our kids were small and my wife said never again. But I want to go back. I saw my first bluefish blitz off the south point.
Private ferry still cross from Davis NC? Used to be called Algier Willis fish Camp I think.

I’ve always used Davis Shore Ferry service.

Annette and the crew have always treated me and my crew great. Hated it when the nps took over the cabins. It was always nice to make our reservations when we came off each year for the next year.
