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.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Your fishing charter with Local Knowledge Charters typically begins early morning when fish are most active. The boat accommodates small groups comfortably, ensuring personalized attention from Captain William. Wear weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection, and bring a camera to document your catch. Food and drinks are recommended, though specifics about included amenities should be confirmed when booking. Captain William practices catch and release for conservation, but can clean keeper fish according to local regulations.
