Local Species Insights: Black Drum

Black Drum are prized catches in the West Palm Beach area, known for their strong fights and excellent table fare. These powerful fish are often found around structures like docks, bridges, and in brackish waters where they feed primarily on crustaceans and mollusks. When targeting Black Drum, we typically use bottom fishing techniques with natural baits like crab, shrimp, or cut bait.

Summer months can be productive for Black Drum fishing in the West Palm Beach area, particularly during the cooler morning hours. These fish put up an impressive fight on medium-heavy tackle, making them a favorite among anglers looking for both sport and a delicious meal. Their distinctive drumming sound (created by muscles against their swim bladder) often gives away their location to experienced captains.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Our fishing charters depart from a convenient marina in West Palm Beach. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time, wearing comfortable clothing, non-marking shoes, and bringing sun protection, including sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. While we provide all fishing gear and licenses, you may want to bring your own food and drinks, a camera to document your catches, and any personal medications you might need.

Our boat is well-maintained, comfortable, and equipped with safety gear including life jackets, first aid kit, and marine radio. We can accommodate groups of varying sizes, making our charters perfect for family outings, friends' trips, or corporate events. For the most comfortable experience, consider booking morning trips during summer months to avoid the afternoon heat.
