Trip Summary
Trip Summary
While the “Old Drum” or Bull drum season is starting to fire up, a nice bonus are there are many Citation size trout being caught. This giant 24” Citation Trout was caught by Angie Lewis on Kenly, NC aboard Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters out of Oriental NC. Bait balls have been scattered but they are here. The full moon a few days ago seems to have kicked things into gear. From New Bern to the Pamlico Sound Bull drum are being caught. If you don’t see bait balls, focus on depth changes near shoals and target fish using your depth finder.
