Black Drum about 7

Now talking to these people for just about all of them, this is about normal trip burn 20 gals of fuel and 3 fish...

So what keeps them coming back???

I seen some of the biggest rod n reel combos in my life!!! I had to drink beer to enjoy the conversations!!

I seen 100 Heavy Heavy Heavy Rods..... one boat had Some all stars and one had a falcon..Rest were offshore rated rods...you could catch Marlin on them

And pop n corks that would keep your boat a float

What keeps them coming back? Well W, it's the same thing that made you love fishing enough to stay with it and become the Grand Master of Big Lake. Fishing with fathers and sons, friends and brothers, seeing the joy of a "poppin cork" newbe catching fish and they can't thank you enough for taking them fishing with you. It's not about the dock shot of a full limit. It's something that can't be explained but all us fishermen know what I mean. Let's let the "offshore rod" fisherman have their day too! We all, at some point, didn't know what the hell we were doing, but we learned from our mistakes or from other fisherman who were patient enough to show us. And the cycle continues............
