The kids are visiting for the weekend but…they were asleep and they were going to their grandparents this morning. As long as I made it back in before lunch, they wouldn’t know I’d gone. I quietly left in the dark and ran over to the eastern shore. I think I messed up my stealth mode when I started texting them photos.
The first drum was a beast. In the breakers and a strong current, that fish gave me more than I wanted. I thought about going home then but…
Three rods went off at the same time. I managed to hold onto all of them. When releasing the third, my 4th rod goes off. Got that one also. I’ll call that a triple plus one.
That was my sixth red drum release of the morning, and I really needed to run back across the bay. So, I put out two more baits…because, I had to. One of those goes off but I pulled the hook on that one. I left them biting and ran back across the bay. I managed to beat the kids home.
