Local Species Insights: Black Drum
Black drum thrive in Hilton Head's brackish creeks and shallow flats, where they feed heavily on oysters, crabs, and marine worms. These powerful fish use their pharyngeal teeth to crush shellfish, creating distinctive crunching sounds that experienced anglers recognize. Captain Kim targets black drum around oyster bars, dock pilings, and creek bends where these fish congregate during feeding periods. The species responds well to fresh shrimp, blue crab, and cut bait presented near bottom structure. Black drum fishing peaks during spring and fall months when water temperatures trigger increased feeding activity throughout the Lowcountry's tidal systems.
