I enjoy catching every species of fish other than gar!
I believe I have caught every type of fish I possibly could in the North Texas area..
But for some strange reason I really enjoy catching drum, because they can get up to 40+lbs and they fight good!

I live in Denton now, right in between Lewisville and Ray Roberts.

Are there any people out there who fish for drum on a somewhat normal basis or know anything on how to target them?


You don't always need a boat..
But gosh darn it, sure helps!

You can catch countless drum at Squaw creek if you have a boat. Sunday at the creek mouth- far west end of the lake, shad crankbaits, I bet we caught over 50 of them. Please go and remove these pests for the Bass fisherman.. lol
