Puppy drum fishing is setting up to be ridiculous in the sound this year. They seem to be pretty thick everywhere! Looking forward to putting some charters on some drag screaming puppy drum on light tackle. These fish are loads of fun and they will explode on a topwater plug as well. Spent some more time on the water in my Hobie kayak with my brother recently. We found a big school of pups backed up in a shallow creek. Sight casted them for a while then took out the fly rods and wore them out. Call me – its time to book a trip!
