Stay out of the channels. Fish the flats.

thats probably my problem i always think of drum fishing as fishing the channels. and tend to always stick close to them. lots to learn =p

Year round the eater drum will stay on the flats. The only time they shoot in the channel will be around thanksgiving-ish when the first big front hits and knocks the water temps down along with the water. In the summer youll find the drum in a foot or less of water.

Well now I am going to have to take exception to the "channel" comment. This is the first winter in many a moon when we have not found bunches of filet sized drum in the Sailboat Channel and the T to the gas well. They are usually there in that deeper shoreline but this winter I guess they stayed in Florida. I guess that area of Redfish Bay has never warmed up enough to entice those little drummer boys!
