Fished on the Angler out of Lewes DE for some night drum action. After some initial confusion, we thought that the boat would leave at 6 pm and it was set to leave at 4 pm (The boat is almost 3 hrs away!!) we made a made dash to the ocean. I made a few calls to Capt. Ted and (little) Chris Dockrat and they agreed to wait for us. We made it to the boat by 4:15 - grabbed some rigs and headed out into the sunset (We headed out - we went north from Lewes. . . )
We started out just sitting aroudn BSing with the mates - there were only 5 people on the boat, myself, my buddy Rick, Ethan and two older gentlemen from Baltimore. Things were slow at first with the slack tide, but what a great night on the water:
It was not soon after dusk that Ethan drew first (drum) blood:
Man did he whoop up that fish!
And it ended: fish 0 Ethan 1
Abo0ut 45 minut4es latter I see this go across the sky:
A guess batman saw it to becuase I managed to hook his bat butt a short time later:
Well, the whole while my buddy Rick is off towards the bow of the boat keeping quiet and probably trying to ignore Ethan's many fart jokes and stories. Suddenly we hear him saw, "I am hooked up" and his drag starts screaming!!!
After a good 10-15 minute fight Chris (the Famous Dockrat) nets this behemoth Black Drum - at least 60 lbs of nastily clam eating beastie:
Here - just for Ethan, he got his picture taken with every fish - to impress his girlfriend
