Bear Island, NC: Sometimes it's Worth the Hike...

Black Drum in the hole!!
My Personal Best To Date!!!:
Black Drum 6/11/11 22in. long / never weighed :S




Decided to go try a little hole on Hammocks Beach Saturday morning. After the quick ride over we got set up fishing a dead low tide around 10am, as soon as that tide started coming in , so did the action.. Caught one small blue, 6 black drum, 2 reds, 2 whiting, and one short flounder. One black drum was my personal best at 22in. but never weighed. Used a basic bottom set-up with size 4-6 j-hooks. All on fresh shrimp with tails off, 25 yards out if that.  

We really went over to do some Pompano fishing but found those drum as a great surprise and they put up a great fight in the surf!


Full cooler of cleaned fish!! I had to run fish back to mainland to be iced down..
25 in. Red Drum on fresh shrimp on a small j-hook, bottom rig.
18in. Red Drum in the surf!!
Sweet catch and release Andrew!
