all this talk about the drum!

[Rockboy42]

What all does everyone use on here for drum??? like rod/reel, bait, rigs. i hear soo much talk and some darn nice pictures that its making me wonder whether i try for them over stripers! just dont know if i have the equipment.

If I'm down there while the drum are, I'd love to try too (never caught one) - Its my impression that its just like striper fishing only they're usually father out (work on your casting). Other than that I believe its still your standard ff rig w/ bunker chunk...someone correct me?

King heads too, the drum run is usually ahead of the big striper run, Sept/Oct vs Oct/Nov.

Is it worth chucking peelers for Drum? Anyone do it?

Are the kings still around for the catching then or do you catch them now and freeze 'em?

[Charkbait]

catch em, eat em and freeze the heads. I don't think they will be around.

They are around when drum are around. Have caught many during the tourney. They are actually IN the tourney.

[Charkbait]

I stand corrected but you should still catch em, eat em, and freeze the heads.

Thanks guys. I'll have to make some room in the freezer.
