Just got back camping in WNC at Balsam, NC and sighted Pod in Cherokee. The only Pod we saw in our trip and it was in all places in the parking lot of the attraction (if you want to call it that) of Santa's Land! Ho Ho Ho!

Nice!!! Not a big blue fish fan as far as eating goes, great fun to catch and I found if you bleed out the small ones not to bad grilled out. Would absolutely love landing a couple of Puppy Drums the size you caught. Are you using fresh bait, sand flea's or shrimp, or what type of artificial lure?
