All we were catching were the occasional small perch but mostly gobies, gobies and more gobies. In a fit of frustration one friend stomped on one and then cast it out, secretly hoping for some gobie on gobie action. Within seconds he had a jarring bite and landed a 5lb. drum. After that we all caught drum, provided we caught a gobie first.

It is illegal to use goby as bait in Ontario and New York State - and will fetch you a healthy fine of up to 500+ bucks.
