The drum scene is exploding in the lower bay, with the black drum rally taking the lead and the red drum procession leaping into place this week. The abundant catches of the docile black drum definitely reflects the peak of the black season, with up to 16 fish boated in one outing lately. Bill “Gordy” Knapp and his crew from Virginia Beach broke in Daryl Nemeth’s new boat by releasing 12 big blacks while perched upon a shoal south of Fishermans Island. Gordy’s fish measured out at 46.5-inches, while Daryl’s black exceeded the mark at whopping 54.5-inches. A presentation of sea clams or chowder clams on Latimer Shoal, the Inner Middle Grounds, the 9 Foot Shoals, or Nautilus Shoal are the ticket lately for enticing these crustacean connoisseurs.
