Went out with the girlfriend Saturday night at lake Shawnee and caught a few stupid Drum. Gonna go try to catch some catfish tomorrow night.

Is that the one that used to have the concrete pillars you could walk across the lake on?

I'm not sure. That was the only time I've ever been there. Seemed like there was a lot of fishing docks and some concrete looking bridge thing over part of the lake.

Thanks man, but unfortunately luck wasn't on y side today. I'll go back out this weekend for round 56

Believe that would be Antioch Park....Off of Antioch Rd and 67th street in Shawnee.

I've heard they're not good to eat at all, too bony and oily.

But having caught several of them they're definitely great fighters, powerful fish.

that's the one.

Big bass killin it on topwater. Caught a 22 inch and a 23.5 on a black jitterbug last evening. Topwater from a kayak is pretty amazing

Isn't that fun!
I fly fish for Bass using top water from my kayak. When those Bass hit it will give you a heart attack

Yup. I'll fly fish topwater even when I know that subsurface will land more fish. I'd rather catch 2 bass on topwater than 10 subsurface.

They’re in their pre-spawn feed.
A friend fishing the Neosho in two days caught 5 flat heads. The smallest was over 20 lbs, the largest was right at 50 lbs and he said every one of them was full of eggs.

Fillet them and cut out the mud line then deep fry them. They taste about like white bass...

Are you black? Only reason I ask is the only people I have ever known to eat Drum fish have been black. There is an older black guy at my church who is the only guy I know who has a recipe that makes drum fish/any overly grease fish somewhat edible, I personally still wont eat them. My aunt's whole side is Mexican, they will fish for anything and eat almost anything, but they will not eat drum fish, sheephead, white bass etc etc.

Caught my biggest fish ever Monday on the Mighty Mo River. 14 pound blue cat hit on a FRESH piece of chicken liver as soon as I tossed it in. Full of eggs too.

Part Cherokee, but mostly Irish, and love drum. Does that count?
