Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) are a prized catch in Atlantic Beach waters. These copper-colored fish with their distinctive black spot near the tail provide exciting fights and are often found in shallow coastal waters, especially around oyster beds, grass flats, and channel edges. During warmer months, redfish can be found in shallow water, while they move to deeper holes during winter. Captain William employs various techniques including sight fishing, bait fishing with live mullet or cut bait, and artificial lures to target these powerful fighters.
