Slide quietly across a shallow flat and you’ll spot the telltale push of a black drum moving along the bottom. A well-placed cast near oyster bars or muddy structure often gets a slow, deliberate eat. The take can be subtle, but once hooked these broad-shouldered fish dig deep and pull with serious weight. The best opportunities often come during the cooler months when clear, shallow water makes sight fishing possible.
