After a brutal cold snap – the puppy drum finally pushed out of the sound.  Fish are being caught in and around the inlet and beaches.  This is the same scenario we had last year – and we enjoyed excellent fishing during what would typically be a very slow time of year.  Well, they are back – and they are bigger! I headed down this afternoon and bagged a couple on the fly rod.   Sure is nice to have some fish to pull on close to home.
