A close cousin of Redfish, Black Drum are aptly named for they somehow make a deep rattling noise when alarmed. Amazingly this can often be heard or even felt in a boat. A stealthy approach and good positioning by guide Chris Myers meant we could lay out long casts to reach a shoal of feeding drum. And once hooked these highly prized fish punched well above their weight. Anyone interested in experiencing the diverse fishing on offer in Florida should contact: www.flyfishflorida.co.uk
