Members repocrazy12 Posted September 26, 2013 Members Share Posted September 26, 2013 Last weekend I took a float from the Prongs to 17 bridge. I saw a ton of Drum. Does anyone have any tips on catching them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryred Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Last time I was down there I saw several big drum too. They love crawlers, but just about anything should work. A small crawfish colored crankbait might be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Earthworms or crawfish. I catch them on jigs, cranks, jerkbaits, and road runners in BSL. I saw a bunch of them on the Current and they ran like frightened school girls EVERYTIME I tried to throw a Bait anywhere near them. It was very disappointing.

moguy1973 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yeah, we catch them on nightcrawlers at LOZ a lot. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Agnew Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I've caught quite a few of them bass fishing on lakes, but only one on a river. Caught it in October one year on the middle Meramec on a crankbait, on a day when everything was hitting the crankbait--caught two walleye on it as well that day. I don't know why they don't seem to hit lures very often on the rivers. I know guys who fish for them with crawdad tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrySTL Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Dunno bout rivers, but on lakes they will generally devour a medium size, medium depth shad color crankbait, but it can be tough to get them hooked well enough to land. http://intervenehere.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moguy1973 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Off topic, but was there enough water up at the Prongs for a decent float? Lots of dragging I suppose? -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old plug Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have caught a ton of them jigging a spoon for white bass. They are something like catfish in that way. They clean up after the white bass feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Ditto Old Plug, I've gotten in on that deal as well. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne SW/MO Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Sure they weren't buffalo's? If they were indeed Drum they will pick up slow moving bottom lures. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
