DRUM, Made you Look, 45lb sack of Drum with almost 2 limits and 2 lost fish on Sunday. Another 22lb Drum caught on Saturday with a couple more small one's. Anyone wanting to know the pattern on the Drum bite just PM me and I will tell you. Never mind, with the way fishing was the past few days, if you are like me, you did not mind the Drum bite because the Greenfish and Brownfish were not biting in my boat. Drum pattern is Silver and Black Red Eye Shads in 12 foot of water off the secondary points back in the bays. Landed 4 Drum in 4 cast at one time, 9 within an hour or so and lost another couple. First time in my life that I PATTERNED the Drum bite. For Bass fishing, had 8 keepers in 3 days, some small fish, several White's, Drum, and Shad caught (yes Shad caught including the monster 12 incher that hit Sunday morning). Shad in the backs of the pockets but not many Bass were in the mix. Worst trip I ever had to the Twins but what do you expect with the water temps dropping 7-10 degrees in the last week. Mornings had FROST up to 1/4 inch on the boat and mid 30's for temps, highs never hit 60 since Friday, Monster Cold Front. If you caught them then you are better than me and I tried everything in my box from Cranks, Traps, Spinnerbaits, T Rig, C Rig, jigs, swimbaits, Scrounger, Buzzbait, Zara Spooks, Pop R's you name it, if I had it, I tried it. Got skunked this morning for my first day ever of not catching a Bass on Ky and Barkley. Had one straighten the hook out on my jig and another hit my C Rig but I never got a hook in her. My buddy, 3sons, landed a Monster 8 incher that had him beat me in the Bass Catching numbers category for the weekend trip by 1. He also had the biggest fish of the weekend, 22lb Drum, but I think I got him on total fish caught if you include the Drum, Shad and White Bass. Since I need these to count in the total, I will use my Wife's scoring system, which says if it has 2 eyes and a set of gills then it counts as 1. I need all the help I can get on this trip. Tough fishing at the twins this weekend. Never patterned anything but the Drum and if not for the excellent spring that I had down there would be wondering if there were any Greenfish or Brownfish swimming in the water. Caught fish from Main Lake ledges, to ledges and humps in the Bays, shallow-med-deep in the bays. All little fish except for the 8 or so keepers with biggest of the weekend being 3 1/2 pounds. Good Luck fishing thru cold fronts like this one that just past. Elnut
