Local Species Insights: Black Drum

Black Drum thrive in Port Aransas' brackish waters and nearshore environments, making them a prime target for inshore fishing charters. These powerful fish use their crushing jaws to feed on shellfish, crabs, and oysters around structure, which is why they're often found near piers, jetties, and oyster reefs. In July, Black Drum are actively feeding in the shallows during cooler morning and evening periods, making them accessible to various fishing techniques. Their distinctive drumming sound, created by muscles vibrating against their swim bladder, often gives away their location to experienced anglers. The 16-inch fish caught on this recent trip represents a typical keeper-sized Black Drum that provides excellent table fare and a solid fight on light tackle.
