Randy(308) sent these pictures and report.

Don't know if you ever fished for the oversized drum at Ingleside, but we did that Tuesday.
My guide friend, Terry Coufal of TC Charters, took Jason, myself and grandson Colson over there, mostly for Colson's benefit.
We caught 4 big old ugglies on crab.
One was huge, maybe close to 60 pounds according to Terry.
His scale only weighs up to 45 pounds and this fish bottomed it out easily.
We caught a 40 pounder , 26 and 21 pounders.
It was a lot of fun.
He says the drum run started early this year, in January.
Usually runs from about Feb. 14th to the end of March.
You can catch 20 or more at the peak, which is past.
He had to stick their air bladders with an ice pick and revive them before release.
It was a fun trip, Colson will be talking about it for a long time to come.
The guide had offered this freebie to me after my last trip with him and I called his bluff.
Did tip him about half his normal fee.
Nothing was going on with the dredging, they would run out there now and then in the Carolina Skiff but never lowered the blade into the water.
We left last night and hit the front at 8:00pm at Tivoli
Novosad's BBQ and market is moving to Rockport from down near Aransas Pass in April.
Will occupy the old Klein's Café building.
We ate lunch there Tuesday on the way back from drum fishing.
Pretty good BBQ.
