Black Drum
Point Comfort is a prime location to target Black Drum, especially in the brackish waters of Lavaca Bay and the surrounding estuaries. These fish are bottom feeders, so focus your efforts around oyster reefs, channels, and bridge pilings. Spring and fall are particularly good times to target Black Drum, as they often move into these areas to spawn. A simple but effective bait is cracked crab or shrimp fished on the bottom. Local knowledge suggests that the area around the causeway bridge is a consistent producer. Be prepared for a fight, as Black Drum can grow to impressive sizes. Also, be aware that larger, older drum can sometimes have a muddy taste, so smaller fish are often preferred for table fare. Remember to consult the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits. Access to good fishing spots is available from the public boat ramp near the Point Comfort docks.
