OBX Fall Drum Run

[hunttown77]

You doing 8nbait for the Reds? I saw some guy on YouTube put gulp on a top and bottom rig, gonna try that this year.

We did the best on blues and reds with live spot or pinfish hooked through the tail on a fish finder rig w/ 3-5oz of weight and a 2' 60lb fluorocarbon leader. For the most part, we were catching them real tight against shore. When we cast further out we lost gear to the sharks. Trailer hooks worked ok (i grew up running trailer hooks on walleye and pike up north), but the single hook through the tail was the most efficient.

We caught fish on bloodworms, bites, cut mullet, berkley shrimp gulps (white) on various rigs. Even caught a 32" drum on a 1/16 oz jig tipped with bloodworm. Best flounder action in the surf was on 1/2oz jig head and the shrimp gulps.

I'll be down there all next week. Super excited to get some fishing in, but I've never surf fished before nor have I ever fished OBX so we'll see how it goes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yea we found out how awesome those fish bites were last year. I'll very rarely buy bloodworms again.
