Best Method or bait/lure to catch Red Drum 

What is the best, sure fire method to catch Puppy Drum in Lynnhaven other than seeing a school and sight casting to them. I've been casting Redfish Magic in likely spots.  I still have not caught one in Lynnhaven.

Re: Best Method or bait/lure to catch Red Drum 

jm2fly if you are having problems catching them on lures just cast net some bait and paddle out to the oyster beds and cast out they will come by and hit your cut bait. Lots of schools around last week went out with the wife and could not find them really wanted to get her hooked up with a nice red...

Jesse just go Flounder or Trout fishing and be patient, they'll find you           

Seriously though, they do take lures and even top water baits but that's a dawn/dusk fishery. Just keep plugn' away with what you're using and take the advice about bait fishing for them, that works well too. I like to fish both until the action picks up so much that you can't keep a bait or lure in the water because they're hitting so often. Bait rig goes out first and then start tossing the lure of choice.

Top water fishing for them is finicky as there mouths are pointed down... but it will produce. If they miss, keep pluggin' away... 9 out of 10 times he'll come back for it, and it's usually much harder.
