started at 9:00 and we were quick to catch drum, and then we just kept on catching them. aside from a small stripe on a jerkbait, the drum were the only fish willing to bite today -- not even a small spot. only had one come off today in front of the condos. set the hook on a mini beaver and the line screamed towards the front of the boat like a train. i fell over everything trying to get up front, including dad who was tying on a jig in the bottom of boat. after a near miss from going in the drink myself, I leaned out to clear the trolling motor prop and she come unglued. hard to speculate what it may have been, but given the pace of the day I'm going with a drum. we threw jigs, mini beavers, jerkbaits, crankbaits and silver buddies. the water temp was 48 degrees.
