William Toney is going to share fishing tips and tactics to help you catch more eating sized drum. William is a Florida light tackle fishing expert with a lifetime of experience fishing inshore and backcountry waters. As bottom feeders like their cousins the redfish and sea trout, they tend to feed on shrimp, fiddler crabs, smaller blue crabs. You can see what black drum baits we use and how to hook them in the video. If they are feeding heavily, you can even catch them on artificial lures. Homosassa fishing benefits from the spring feed headwaters being a constant 72 degrees and as the tides move out this warm water is pulled out of the river. So, the holes and deeper channels near the rivers edge will hold warmer swirling water and thus quality bait. This is where your black drum will hold.
