Reward For Tagged Red Drum

One of our members just let us know about an important research project to help protect and improve North Carolina's red drum population. NC State University researchers are studying the habitat use and movements of red drum in North Carolina coastal waters, and tag returns by commercial and recreational fishermen are vital to the success of the project. If you catch a red drum with a yellow or red tag, please cut off the tag and call toll free 1-800-790-2780 in order to receive a monetary award, hat, or t-shirt for the tag and associated information. Yellow tags are worth $5, a t-shirt, or a hat, and red tags will land you $100. If you have any questions about the project or would like to learn more, please contact:
