Fishing for BLACK DRUM Packery Channel Bridge (Corpus Christi, Tx)

Heard the Black Drum were running so we had to go & fill up the stringer! Dead shrimp or fishbites on the bottom works best. Black Drum are my favorite for a fish fry! Hope you guys enjoyed the video 🙌

    When you said up close I was like nope not from there . Your partner explained exactly where they are that’s same when reds run from that side you cast at an angle and bait drops right into 30’ of cool fresh water. Beginning of your video shows that water is really low as it always is in July and august . Those drum stack up in there every year like clock work in the heat of the day ,cause there’s no water on the flats for them that isn’t super hot . Marc Villarreal “No Holds Barred Fishing”

    Great video. Is that the 361 bridge in front of you? If so, the tropical storm raised the tide or water level quite a bit on the opposite shore from you.
