Beautiful video that you guys created with Capt. Deeks. I love the flow.
Fun seeing and learning that information. I remember doing that with blue fish and Spanish mackerel when I was younger, so it makes a lot of sense. Even though I’ve never seen either species of drum school up. Thanks!
Thanks so much Captain Peter Deeks! What a fascinating and informative presentation!
Such a cool video. Made it look so effortless! 😀
Outstanding video! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, thank you Captain Deeks! I am just so blown away by this! When do the fish school up like this! FYI, I am a huge fan of the “Dirty Deeks Leader” hack, I use it often!
Awesome footage and great content! Are there better times of the year to find them schooled up like that.
Great info! Now I just need to find the schools. 😂. What kind of rod and reel were you using? It looks like it was pretty light tackle.
Very good presentation and incredible videos showing both drone views and from the boat!
Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to use the Teaching from Captain Deeks!
Some beautiful fish in that group. Nice to see
