on monday im going to padre island texas for 10 days. I'm staying right on the intercoastal waterway and plan on doing some fishing for seatrout..but there are also redfish and black drum about but I dont really know how to target them. I think I have the sea trout figured out from my last trip... I basically fished for them like I would fish for springtime schoolies...

But what about the reds and blacks??? Is it a bait only thing? would they hit a plug???

educate me please I dont want to look like a yankee googan down there:smash:

listen here smaarty pants:mad: just remember we were all googans once:D
some googans, like yourself, took longer to exit the googan stage:bshake:

Reds will hit artificials. Try some small gold colored spoons, or small jigs with plastic trailers. Top Dawgs, Spooks, etc for surface plugs.

Red's will hit Z-spooks on top and a Johnson golds spoon,that is what I use in Florida and they work;good luck.

hopefully it doesn't take you as long to loose your googanness as it took you to sprout a pube:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Guys thanks for the tips:D I actually have a few flaptail spooks I just made, so I guess I better bring them with me:happy:
