Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) are one of Jacksonville's premier inshore game fish. These copper-colored fighters with their distinctive spot near the tail are prized for both their fighting ability and table fare. Jacksonville's maze of backwaters, grass flats, oyster bars, and marsh edges create perfect redfish habitat.
Redfish in the Jacksonville area can be caught year-round, with different techniques proving effective in different seasons. During warmer months, look for them tailing on shallow flats during high tide periods. In cooler months, they often school up in deeper creeks and channels. Live bait like shrimp, mullet, or cut bait works well, as do artificial lures like gold spoons, soft plastics, and topwater plugs worked around structure.
