Red Drum

[Bluebonnets]

Hello everyone,

I read this forum all the time, since I am relatively new to fishing....
love all the tips and advice.. thank you.

My question is, I am going to be trying my hand at some red drum freshwater
fishing. Currently, I use shrimp and worms to catch the smaller sized cats,
and I am wondering if anyone has advice on how to go after this fish. I am
still learning all the tips and techniques, and am a novice, so any help at
all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steph

The only red drum I know of is the "salt water" Red Fish, but maybe in
some part of the country they have a fresh water red drum?

Now we have fresh water "red" carp

Fresh water drum (not the red ones) will hit just about anything, from
worms to minnows to shad, and cut bait
