Drum Fishing this week


By all accounts it looks like the old drum haven't been affected by Irene. SENCFishing is planning to get back on the water to fish for them this week.

As many expected the fishing to get better offshore after the hurricane, most are now scratching their heads as to what happened. Seems that the reports coming in from offshore are about the same before the storm, Slow. Yesterday the water at the schoolhouse was a cool 76 degrees. It's still a little stirred up too.


Fishing has picked up in the surf. My friend Steve came into town yesterday and fished Fort Fisher. He ended that day on a very good note with some very nice sea mullet and pompano. He also missed a nice pup, reeling in one of the scales.
I have been hearing from a lot of people about the pups showing up in the suds now with the lower water temps. He also noted the amount of mullet in the wash as well. Thanks to him catching 15 pounds of fresh mullet, SENCFishing will have plenty of nice bait for the Old Drum this week.
