:bash Anyone read Kieth Sutton's article in the Tri Lakes edition of the last Sunday's LR gazette about drum fishing. Says they are good eating, tasting like redfish when properly prepared. I always thought they were trash fish, what do you'all think??
I will admit to keeping them occasionaly. Not much meat for the effort. The body cavity is pretty large compared to other fish. Plus, I cut the red meat out just like I do with stripe or white bass. Otherwise, they eat pretty good as far as I am concerned. DP
Eat crappie, end of story
I've ate them. They are good blackened. Taste just a bit better than a bass.
It's like my Grampaw used to say about chitterlings. When you get down to eating the guts, it's time to kill another hog.
If I had to keep and eat a drum I think. I would try to become a better fishermen! !!!! Talk about trash fish they don't even make good tomato fertilize! !!!
Red fish is just a saltwater Drum !:twocents
They have numbered rocks in their head. You can get numbers 1-8. I don't know why they don't have 0 or 9 or double digits.
Don't we all rotflQuote:

Guys Im telling ya Drum are the worse tasting darn things I ever tried. Yuck....Don't do it. Rubbery caster oil things I ever layed my lips on. Never again.:puke

Maybe it is even numbers on the right hand side of their head and odds on the left hand side. I don't know. I'm sure the biologists on here have a full set of numbers as much as they sample:biggrin
Grilled blackened or fried I think I will decline your kind offer RCC.
But for you drum fans... just let me know and Ill fillet up some nice fat Juicy drum fillets for ya next time I catch em.:biggrin
Sorry you lost all your rocks, RCC. Maybe we can start a collection for ya rotfl
Hey Cache, Where I work, on your first day they give you a bag of marbles. Every time you mess up they take one marble out of the bag. When you lose all your marbles, they make you a supervisor:RoflQuote:
