Subject: Sight casting to 40 inch red drum!

There are reds of over 40 inches working the shallow waters of the Pamlico Sound. You need a shallow draft boat with a poling tower to have a chance of getting close to them and spotting them before they see you. It just so happens that I have one and, oh yeah, I am a charter captain. :-) if you have a shallow draft boat check some of the flats on the edges of Pamlico Sound. I normally flyfish personally but they should eat a plastic tailed jig pretty well. These fish are cruising shallow looking for shrimp and crabs. Try a 1/4 ounce jighead with a Fin-S gold tail. For flyfishing, a crab fly with heavy eyes to get to the bottom is just the ticket. Look for dark shapes moving across light bottom. These fish are extremely big and extremely wary. You need to be quick. It's just like bonefishing, except the fish are all over 20 pounds. Make sure you have plenty of line on your reel!
