Ok for you guys that fish for drum we saw a lot of drum Saturday.. what bait do you guys use to catch them ?? We only caught two on shad . So I�m wondering what is the best bait to use thanks for any information..

Minnows and worms have both worked for me in the past. They really like crawfish, but you can't get the smaller ones this time of year. Smaller drum are excellent eating.

Thanks for the input!! True small mudbugs are hard to come by this time of year.. well minnows and worms it is!!

They like hand tied jigs

Worms or shrimp

Thanks guys and Pot Licker it seams everything likes your jigs !!!

I have caught a lot of drum over the years. I have always used worms as the bait!

Earthworms or jigs

I think drum or gasper goo are very opportunistic. We often catch them on 5/8 oz chartreuse or white lead slabs when fishing for white bass and hybrids. They seem to hang around on the bottom just below the feeding white bass, when our lure gets too close or on the bottom it is common to catch drum, we will often catch 5-10, as long as we can find feeding fish they are almost always there. Small Blue cats do the same thing.

^^^ awesome thanks !!
