A buddy of mine from work came over from CT to fish here tonight and ended up catcatching a 49" Red Drum from the end of the breach on bunker. We are going to weigh it in the morning on a certified scale for a possible state record. Will keep you all posted on the weight and the out come of the record catch.
But really. What is a red drum doing up here. Maybe thats why everything is so screwy this year. We're getting invaded by southern species now. :smash:
Anymore details on the story behind this fish? How did it fight? How long did it take to bring it in? Did your friend chit himself when he realized what he caught? thanks

If you look at the NYS marine fishing regs, you'll see that NY still has bag/size limits for red drum on the books, so obviously, they were plentiful enough for regs at one time.

Spanish mackerel used to very common this time of the year at the Vineyard, at least when I went regularly during the 80s and 90s.
