I have caught plenty of them both river and lake minnows and crawlers but I really haven't seen any pattern to it. I know they fight a lot like a walleye in the river current though. I can say I've caught more drum quickly at boat ramps, pretty sure that means nothing strategy wise(dumb luck the likely culprit) but that is where I have caught the most by far. When I was about 8 my dad and I put the boat in at bear den(near New Town) and he had a "gotta go" moment. Well there was a temporary facility up towards a popular for the time camping spot and he started walking that way. I still can't stand and wait without fishing so I threw on a crawler and a lindy rig and tossed it in. Easily a drum every minute, just hammering them. Well this went on for as long as it took, can't trust the witness time of an 8 year old catching fish that's for sure, and my ol' man returned and we went around the corner and stopped at the first point to start with the spinners and bouncers. Now after I told the ol' man about my luck he gave me a "no kiddin'?" and a little fake laugh, that laugh was gone once he opened the first carton of used to be crawlers. "Where's the worms?" I had nothing. All I did was put my hand up and say "I told you I caught fish!" He had nothing, except a couple containers half empty of carwlers, didn't say a word for about 5 min then I hear "you better hope we don't run into a school of little perch." Didn't hear about it again til we went fishing again with some of his buddies. He had obviously went to the bar and told the story and his buddies never let me live that one down. They thought it was the funniest thing since they left a 6 year old in the warm pickup with a couple pounds of turkey and goose jerky while they went to set tip ups, jerky didn't stand a chance.</p></blockquote><p></p>
