Happy New Year!! Inshore we have been catching lots of red drum with plenty in the slot limit. All trips seeing double digit days on the reds. The red fish have been biting soft plastics (Gulp alive shrimp, and strike king minnow) on 3/8 jig heads or bait. Bottom fishing with a Carolina rig using shrimp, cut mullet, or mud minnow is a great way to catch the winter reds. Lots of fun and great action on light tackle. We have been landing reds on the fly rod as well. Tipping the fly with heavy sent and fishing slow has produced plenty of action for those want to catch red fish on the fly. Just great winter fishing and a typical winter pattern. Give me a Call at 910-264-1807 and I will answer any questions before you book your trip. We will pick the best tides and weather for your day of fishing. Call and Book your trip today 910-264-1807!!!
