Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) are one of the most popular gamefish along the Texas coast. These bronze-colored predators with their distinctive black tail spot thrive in Galveston's shallow bays, marshes and inlets. They can be caught year-round but are particularly active during fall and spring migrations when they move between deeper waters and the shallows.
Captain Steve targets redfish using various techniques depending on conditions. Sight-casting to tailing redfish in shallow water provides heart-pounding excitement, while fishing deeper channels with live bait produces consistent results when visibility is limited. Their hard-fighting nature makes them a favorite among anglers, as even smaller "puppy drum" will put up an impressive battle on appropriate tackle.
