Black Drum Fishing
July 27, 2008 · Filed Under surf fishing · Comment
Fishermen that are restricted to land can have a hard time during the summer months on the North Carolina coast. Extremely high water temperatures most likely have slowed pier and surf fishing to a crawl. For those targeting the jetties, bridges, ICW, and piers, the sheepshead can be a very challenging quarry. Thankfully, the sheepshead is a territorial fish and once they have established themselves on a dock or a pier they don’t move very far. They will remain in the shade of the structure and dine on crabs and barnacles all day long.
