Black Drum
For Black Drum enthusiasts, the waters surrounding Point Clear, Alabama, hold some impressive specimens. Black Drum thrive in the brackish waters of Mobile Bay and its tributaries, making this a prime location to target them. Focus your efforts around docks, pilings, and deeper channels with muddy bottoms. Spring and fall are particularly productive, coinciding with spawning activity. A bottom rig baited with shrimp, crab, or cut bait is the go-to method. Black Drum are known for their powerful bite, so use sturdy tackle. Tides play a crucial role; look for increased activity during the incoming and outgoing tides. A practical tip: chumming with crushed shell and shrimp can draw Drum into your fishing area.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Alabama's regulations regarding Black Drum size and bag limits before you hit the water.
