Took some time out last nite and hit the creek near my house in search of some red drum fishing,left around 3pm to search the marshes where ive been finding some fish as of late.
 Armed with some topwater lures and soft plastic i managed a few finger mullets to entice the crafty spook reds into eating an offering,i paddled down to a spot that looked fishy and set up along a oyster bed and grass island and started to throw top waters mainly being the mirror lure top dog jr in 808 colors.
  They didn't seem interested in top waters even with the light rain i was getting so i put a second rod out with live finger mullets against the grass banks to sit and soak till something hungry came along.
 Throwing top waters and soaking live minnows was doing no good so i bring the live bait in and cut the tail off the live minnow and switch spots,throw that out and start throwing top water again and wham zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz my bait rod bends over begging for mercy as the line screams off the reel at will by the fish that just destroyed my bait.
 After a good battle and 3 hard runs ,one swoop of my net and it is over and the fish is landed measured and pic taken,this beast of a red drum was 24 3/4 inches long and was gonna make a great meal for me and my wife.
 This is my first post as a blogger and i hope to have many, many more to come so keep watching im always on the water and im a kayak guide here in North Carolina,i run native water craft kayaks to fish from and have been fishing for 14 years down here.
