Freshwater drum are hitting well on the Fox River, especially when using Berkley Gulp. The bite has been strong in deeper pools and near current breaks, with most drum in the 2–4 lb range. Fish are responding best to slow presentations along the bottom, and the Gulp worms are holding their own against live bait. Midday action has been solid.

Focus on structure like rocky points and drop-offs, and vary your retrieve to find what the fish are responding to. Conditions are great for consistent action. If they’re being finicky use the weedless jig.
