I found some good crappie around greens lake also, but the drum were just a added bonus, they really put up a fight, for a couple of seconds, They play out fast. Drum ain't fittin to eat as far as I know, I know redfish is just a coastal version of drum, I have eat redfish and they are some good eatin.

Drum Recipe = get a piece of yellow pine 2x12 two inches longer than the Drum. Lay whole fish on the 2x12 and bake at 350 for 4hrs. When done take out of the oven , throw fish away and eat the 2x12 !! MMMmmmm

Drum and crappie stay in the same water. If you are catching drum keep fishing, the crappie are near

This ^^^ is good for a big one...8-10lbs +.

Baked drum is some good eating too...if they're caught out of a river and not a lake and they're not over 5 or 6 lbs.

Scale it, gut it, lop its head off. Salt and pepper the outside and inside and stuff it with onions and bell peppers and olives and an orange. Place in on a rack in your biggest oven pan. Don't wrap it in foil. 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. Peel the skin off and it's ready to go. Gotta make sure you use the rack though so it don't sit in the juices while it's cooking because sometimes they can be a little fatty/oily.

They taste 10X better than a trout.
