The Saltwater Series should all be EZ P & G here scattered around Victoria. We've been wanting to create a series to bring even more caches to Victoria. You will find similarities to the majority of the caches in this series, and seeing how we love to fish, we wanted to make this series the name of all ( or most )of the saltwater fish that could be caught off of the coast of Texas. All of the caches are going to be rated 2.5 on difficulty due to having to use extreme stealth at most GZ's.
Black drum are bottom feeders, so they are most commonly caught with bait either on the bottom or suspended within a couple feet of the bottom. Bottom fishing methods are used both in surf fishing and inshore fishing.[11] Shrimp is a typical bait that works well; squid can also be used and is less subject to bait stealing by hardhead catfish and Atlantic croakers which often frequent the same waters. There are times when the older, larger fish are more readily caught on a half or a quarter of a blue crab with the top shell removed and cut or broken to fit on a 4/0 to 9/0 hook. This type of fishing is often combined with chumming, a baiting practice that involves scattering bits of fish parts and blood into the water as an attractant.[12] Sometimes black drum are caught on spoons and jigs.
