I've Been fishing pierce and finding lots of drum. What is the deal with that. But I've heard if u fry up the meat and eat it hot it taste like catfish or raw fish. :confused:
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.Quote:

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.

so does a eel...lol I sure like catching trout,,but then,,I'm done with'm..
Only fish worse than Trout are Grinnel (aka Bowfin, Cypress Trout) for eating. Them Trout rot about as fast as Shad, probably make good Catfish bait. lol lolQuote:

X 2 on eatin' trout. I love to catch them, but haven't found a way yet to cook them that makes me like to eat'em! Been catchin' and releasin' for years now, unless somebody wants me to bring them some.
Thanks everybody.............But, I think I will just continue to throw back the drum. LOL Have a great day.
the next time you catch a drum cut open the top of head between eyes there will be a white rock in there with a un even number on it !!! i have a whole set . 1-3-5-7-9 most of the rocks are about the size of a nickle a lot depends on size of fish.
I have 2, be 4 I got 6 when I 8 it....there's the even numbers...lolQuote:
