Hey everyone. Heading down to SC in a week or so and may have the opportunity to fish some of the local lagoons where we're staying. Was curious if anyone had information on what lures/flies may be effective for Red Drum? I did some research and have a pretty good idea of what to bring but, wanted to see if I could get some first hand knowledge. Right now I'm planning on bucktails(with trailer), rubber swim baits, skinny minnow fly, clouser as well as some other baitfish patterns. I know live bait is always best, I'm also planning on targeting some pinfish if they're around to use for this application.
Will be using a 7'0 MH 3/8-1 1/4 paired with a Penn Spinfisher 4500 and an 8wt 9'
Any advice is greatly appreciated and if this should be moved to one of the regional forums that's fine. Kind of broad so I figured I'd start here.
