My fishing partner Tony Johnson and I got off work friday morning and decided to take the boat out to Garcon Point bridge to see if we could catch a few fish. Launched from Nichols and headed out. Rough Going. 2 to 5 foot swells, but we were determined. Hooks in the water at about 0900. For the next three hours we caught 24 white trout, 14 ground mullits and 12 croakers. TJ said we needed to get closer to the channel. He was right. He cast out with dead shrimp on the hook and BAM.... he got a serious hit. Didn't know what it was but it headed to the pilings. Moved the boat away and after about 15 minutes, he brought in a 38" 11 lb. black drum. He later added a 34" spanish mac. We came on back about 1600. The fish we caught were worth the beating our bodies took from the surf. And to me, that was a good day fishing. New to the forum. My first Post.

| Very nice. I live right by that bridge and can never catch a damn thing around that bridge. I don't know if I just can't find the holes or what. Anyone want to give some advice about catching anything around there? Very nice fish by the way. It's good to hear that the spanish are moving this far up finally.

Very nice. I live right by that bridge and can never catch a damn thing around that bridge. I don't know if I just can't find the holes or what. Anyone want to give some advice about catching anything around there? Very nice fish by the way. It's good to hear that the spanish are moving this far up finally. Jon, don't you know you are supposed to pour a little beer on your bait???? What do you do with the rest of the beer?????? MMMMMMMMMM........... EbonKnight: nice catch man and welcome. By the way there is a county ramp at the north end of the Garcon Bridge!

| I wish you would have taken a pic of that spanish. A 34" spanish is a serious fish. Good job on gutting it out on a tough weather day!

| Yes the spanish was caught on dead shrimp. Almost got a nice sheep head, but it wouldn't commit to the bait. I tried to attach a picture of the spanish, but it doesn't show up with the drum picture. I'll try again. Thanks to all for your comments. Going out tomorrow, hopefully will have something to report.
