Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) are one of the most sought-after gamefish along the Texas coast. These copper-colored fish with their distinctive tail spot provide incredible fights on light tackle. In Galveston, redfish can be found around oyster reefs, marsh edges, and tidal flats where they hunt for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish.
Captain Steve employs various techniques depending on conditions, including sight-casting to cruising redfish in shallow water, fishing live bait around structure, or using artificial lures that mimic local prey. Fall and winter months typically offer the best redfish action in Galveston as water temperatures cool and fish begin schooling up in predictable locations.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Tejas Salt Fishing Adventures, plan to arrive early and dressed for the weather conditions. The boat is well-equipped with quality rods, reels, and safety equipment. Morning trips often provide the best fishing action when waters are calmer. Captain Steve recommends bringing sun protection, a camera to document your catch, and any personal snacks or drinks you might want during your time on the water. The shallow-draft boat allows access to productive backwater areas where the biggest redfish often lurk, giving you opportunities for trophy catches like the one featured here.
