Black Drum
If you're after Black Drum near Point, Texas, focus your attention on areas with muddy or sandy bottoms and plenty of structure. Black Drum are bottom feeders, so presentation is key. Live or dead shrimp, crabs, or even cut bait fished on the bottom are your best bet. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they often congregate in large schools to spawn. A useful tip is to fish around bridges, piers, and docks, as these structures attract crustaceans and other food sources that Drum love. Also, be aware of the tides. Black Drum tend to be more active during periods of strong current, as this stirs up the bottom and exposes their food. Many anglers find success fishing at night, as the Drum become more active under the cover of darkness. Be sure to check the local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on water conditions and fish activity. Remember to use sturdy tackle, as Black Drum can grow to impressive sizes.
