One of North Carolina’s great fisheries! Catching old drum on the Pamlico Sound! Captain Scooter Lilley takes Host Chris Douglas to the famed Pamlico Sound to catch giant bull reds on popping corks!
Lightest you wanna go is 30lb braid and 40-50lb mono leader. 4000-5000 reel on a medium heavy rod. You want to get these big fish up quickly so you don’t kill them. Don’t come out with a 2500 and fight them for 15+ minutes
Surely you could but there are usually other fish around the bait like blue fish and maybe a trout or two that would give you a headache rebating hook every cast.
