Episode 2- "Cut-Bait Drum!" is airing this week on Pursuit Channel and Youtube!

You'll typically see us targeting big bull reds on the Pamlico with popping corks and swim baits but the conditions have the bait scattered and deep under the surface, basically rendering the popping cork strategy useless. Old friend and CAO regular -Captain Scooter Lilley, is going back to basics with cut-bait and drum rigs and the results are just as spectacular! Catch the episode here! https://youtu.be/zUT9BpaKyYY
