Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) thrive in the diverse ecosystem of Galveston Bay. These copper-colored predators with their distinctive black spot near the tail are ambush feeders that patrol grass flats, oyster reefs, and channel edges. In Galveston, anglers target them year-round, but fall often brings the legendary bull redfish run when larger specimens move into shallower waters. Captain Steve specializes in various techniques depending on conditions, including sight-casting on clear days, working popping corks along grass lines, or fishing cut bait near deeper structures. The shallow water sight-fishing opportunities in Galveston are particularly exciting, allowing anglers to spot these fish before casting.
