Fishing tip of the week: Surf fishing has been very good this past week. We went and had large catches of red drum with double hook pier rigs with number 4 hooks & using shrimp for bait. The red drum ranged from 5 lb to 10 lb & they really put up a good fight on a limber rod. Just remember the limits & don’t keep anything you aren’t gonna eat. Keep fishing & stay safe.
