Freshwater Drum
Aplodinotus grunniens
No minimum length limit or daily bag limit for freshwater drum.
Identify your catch
Silvery, deep-bodied fish with a divided dorsal fin; lacks the tail spot of red drum.
Habitat on Hubbard Creek
Timber, brush, docks, shoreline plants and rocky structure provide varied habitat.
Fishing approach
Lake guide guidance: TPWD suggests vertically fishing minnows or small jigs near creek-channel brush for winter crappie and white bass; working timber and vegetation for bass; and drifting shad for summer blue catfish.
Fishing guidance describes documented approaches, not a promise of fish activity today.
No active lake-specific advisory or possession ban was named in the reviewed DSHS directory. This does not guarantee that fish are safe to eat.
Harvest permission and eating restrictions are separate.
General species guide
Often feeds near the bottom on fish, crayfish, insects and mollusks.
