As of now I'm planning on Friday night. Anyone else?

-Brian

I will probably be out looking for some black drum sometime during the week - probably Thursday.

We are going tonight for reds. Then i think that the next couple trips will be for the blacks. The best red fishing is yet to come. Next full moon it will be on!!!

Daniel

good luck....give a report when you get back

i will probably be out there tuesday night somewhere on the oceanside for reds. haven't quite got my fill yet!!!

Casey,
I just noticed that you have a 22' Panga. How is the ride in that? I've always admired the looks and wondered about the performance. What do you push it with? Sorry for the jacked thread...

I will be out there Thur and Fri night. And I agree, the best is yet to come.

-Bill

just got in. We caught 3 reds 48"-51". Didnt turn on until the tide started in around 10.

Daniel

Gonna try on Thu and Fri for the blacks and I too hope the best is yet to come.

I'll be out tonight as well...will give you a shout Casey.

we are getting off graveyards thursday morning and will probably be heading to ES after a few hours of sleep. if i can sleep. if thats the case we will start earlier. This will be our first trip ever for the big reds yall are talking about. You all are giving what seems to be excellent advise and we have been taking good notes. we are used to catching big catfish in the james, largest 72#'s. So we figure that those big rigs should handle these fish. We are putting in at kipoteke, figure the price of gas and a possibility of a rough ride it would be worth the toll. Well we may get skunked but to read the posts it sounds like it would be a blast. we plan on being on the water by 4pm at the latest and fishing all night. well wish us luck well be the red and white 21ft proline that will probably look like we are lost but you know what they say about a blind squirel.

I will be drumming up in the Oswego River in central NY this holiday weekend (for freshwater drum, aka Sheepshead) and will be back the following Tues.

I am hoping to get the boat out for 2007 on Jun 1 to do some real drum fishing.

Anybody going out tonight looking for someone to help with gas/bait costs? If so, give me a call on my cell (858)583-0837 or PM me. Thanks.

-Justin

P.S. BIGG09 are you the same Casey that took me out on your Panga last summer trying for Kings?

We'll be out tomorrow (Wednesday late afternoon/evening). Split Shot on 68.

Thanks for the report

I'll be heading out on saturday afternoon

I'll be out Friday night, maybe Saturday too. Gotta get in shape, got some heavy lifting i hope.

justin,

that's me. how you been? i just started fishing again in my boat. all fall i was offshore with a buddy and i didn't do much stripper/toggin this year, but i can't stay away from the drum. i'll give you a shout if i need a ho. i didn't think you would want to come back out after last trip lol. that day sucked royally and nick and i were probably a little obnoxious. lord forgive me.
