Cooper River Black Drum

Hit Bushy park last night for a fish till dark after work trip. Caught a fair amount of nice bait size shrimp and mullet in a couple casts of the net in Yellow House. Decided to hit the 526 bridge and fish the bridge footings for some drum and maybe a nice deep big red. Caught the trash can slam (1 stingray, 3 toadfish, 2 pinfish) on my shrimp and one 17 inch Black Drum. only fished for an hour before i noticed a boat broke down with a family aboard including Fido. Towed them back to Bushy Park from the 526 Bridge so I would have good Karma for the next time!! The guy insisted on giving me $50 for the tow. I felt bad for taking it but he wouldn’t let me give it back. Oh well, had fun anyway and squared up on the Karma payment plan! If any of you see my old 1987 18’ Proline with goofy looking Osprey written on the side of it broke down, please tow me back…LOL

Awesome! Towing insurance is pretty priceless for boating, but a Good Samaritan is always a great option when available.

Great job. I always come in town to fish and end up towing someone. It’s all good. You will be blessed.

Trash can slam. Awesome…I’m going to steal that, cause I do it all the time.
