Buoy 16 Black Drum Tue Night

[Mike Avery]

On the way back from the VMRC public hearing, I got a call from Frank Joyce on Pier Pressure. He wanted to go catch some drum. The winds were blowing a good 15 knots SE but we were talking about a 45 foot Viking so I said OK. Once we got to the ES, things were nice and the storms were well west of Richmond. We fished with sea clams and crab from dusk to 1030 pm. Went 2 for 2 on the drum and numerous critters and pickers.

Frank gets a release citation of 47 inches in the first 5 minutes of fishing.

Michael gets a 41 inch black that fought like he was a red.

Ronnie brought his tagging supplies so both were tagged and released.

Thanks for the invite Frank. Better than staying home and seeing what's not on TV.

Ronnie, I got your bmail and sent the pics to you and Frank. I could not reply to your bmail as it says you have elected to not receive. If you didn't get the pics, let me know.
