By Steve Lucas<\/h2>\n

Earlier in the week I went over to the [Florida] West Coast to hunt for the Big Ugly – Black Drum. Cousin to the Red Drum.
\nAll the Blacks this week were between 20 and 40 pounds. Here are some pictures from one day of fishing –
\nIt was a gorgeous day and being able to stand and sight fish Black Drum was an absolute treat.
\nArmed with my new batch of T & A Jig Heads, I bagged three heavyweight monsters and my arms felt like rubber after the mayhem subsided.<\/p>\n

Of course one of my fishing days would exhaust most ordinary folk but I still had enough energy to paddle behind an island, drop anchor, stick an enormous Tommy Bahama beach umbrella in the mud and stretch out for a cat nap in the W 500. When I awoke hot coffee and lunch in the shade seemed in order before the leisurely paddle back to the launch.
\nI hauled out onto the floating dock without getting my feet wet, washed off my gear and loaded up.<\/p>\n
