Casting and jigging gold and chrome diamond jigs around breaking fish and bait marks produced most of the strikes from these speedy little tuna relatives. Red drum are still feeding in the sloughs along Masonboro Island where they’ve been schooled up most of the winter. Anglers can spot the fish while running along the backside of the surf on a calm day, then hook up by casting 27MR Mirrolures and Gulp baits into the schools.
