Red Drum: Jack's island @ Lawson Creek Park - New Bern, NC and Glenburnie Park. Went down in the morning and used frozen shad for catfish, striper, drum, whatever... got nothing. Moved to Jack's Island at Lawson Creek Park and caught a 17" Red Drum on a paddle tail and jig head. Temp in mid 70s... great day! Pretty much the first time I have been to New Bern aside from driving through en route east to the coast. I did play a soccer tournement there in 1991 (of couse we won... I had great teammates!). Beautiful park... I didn't realize they had a fishing pier there only a few hundred yards down until I got home and saw it on Google maps... I hooked 4 redfish , 2 came off after a brief fight, the other was just a hard bite.
