Big drum will bite the cork? (I know they'll take topwater but I'd never heard this be a problem with cork).

[@TheBigghunter01]

Yes, some people even put hooks on the popping cork but i won’t because I don’t want to foul hook

[@marktucker5042]

What kind of line and poundage do you use for these reds?

[@kenthayer6255]

Did you ever get an answer?

[@jirvingnc]

55-65lb braid

[@TheBigghunter01]

Lightest you wanna go is 30lb braid and 40-50lb mono leader. 4000-5000 reel on a medium heavy rod. You want to get these big fish up quickly so you don’t kill them. Don’t come out with a 2500 and fight them for 15+ minutes

[@tallenseven]

what ramp is that where you put in?

[@prestoncoley5760]

it looks like Aurora but I don't know

[@jirvingnc]

That is Wright's Creek Boat Ramp..

[@anthonymurphy2345]

What about using live shrimp or other live bait?

[@CarolinaALLOUT]

Surely you could but there are usually other fish around the bait like blue fish and maybe a trout or two that would give you a headache rebating hook every cast.

[@Pew_Professional]

What time of the year was this ?

[@CarolinaALLOUT]

Late August to early September.
