On a Monday morning late in April, the fish returned to the waters below Jennette’s Pier. It was a cold and blowy day complete with rough seas.
A trio of anglers, each hailing from Virginia, reeled in a nice red drum, a big black drum and broke off a large bluefish, they reported.
Monica Pyles of Warrington, who was fishing with her husband Thomas, revealed that they lured the 24.5 - inch black drum to the bite with a kernel of canned corn.
Yes, a yellow kernel of corn. They were excited it was a legal — sized catch and they planned to eat it that night.
Freddie Kuhn of Dinwiddie had a hard fight with a 33 – inch red drum, which was released unharmed.
That bite set the tone for fishing on the Pier and plenty of people have been giving it a go since those fish photos were posted.
