NOTES

Bull Drum are arriving

Neuse River

Water temperature is up (91 degree water today) and Tarpon & Old Drum (Bulls) are in the Neuse River. We caught a 42" Red today. Covered a lot of water to find fish. focus on bait balks. SW winds will drop the water level and fish seem to be on ledges. Live bait, popping corks and swim baits are your best bet. Go early, the mid day heat makes for a difficult catch. 

Gear & Tackle Used:

Star Rod 7.5 MH
Diawa 4000
40 pound Braid
30 Pound fluorocarbon.
DOA Plastic
DOA Cork
Zman Jig
