Andrew, Where are you fishing? I've been fishing for Red Drum for 20+ years here on the Outer Banks of NC, both "puppies" and "bulls". Glad to offer any advice I can. The BIG Drum fishing is just getting started here, 50+ Bigs caught last Sunday night at Cape Point and a few this past weekend.

fishingdude, i really dont think Larry knows where seabrook is let alone second street as he lives out of state.

i take it your bank fishing , i'd try any open water facing the gulf that you might be able to wade, being 16 i take it your not driving yet so that limits you quite a bit, ya might try up off 146 by Pine Gully, or Sylvan Beach park.

You can't go wrong with a jig head and a Berkley Gulp shrimp attached.
