This big drum in the mitigation site has become a daily fixture. Here Jim(guest in 407) tries to tease the drum into showing some interest in his topwater lure.
The drum was there this evening when I set out two poles with live perch. After an hour I had seen nothing happen and took a 5 minute stroll down to the fish cleaning station. Of course, when I came back my line was hung up under the crossbridge. It seems as if reds instinctively head for deeper water under the crossbridge when hooked.
