If you’re hoping to hook into one of the Gulf Coast’s most exciting inshore fish, look no further than the redfish. Known for their beautiful copper-colored bodies and dark tail spots, redfish (also called red drum) are a favorite among anglers and for good reason. These fish put up a great fight, taste delicious and are found in abundance around Destin and Fort Walton Beach, especially in the summer months.
Redfish are known for their strength, making them a thrill to catch on light tackle. They’re aggressive feeders and can often be found cruising the shallows in search of baitfish, shrimp and crabs. On a calm water day, you might even spot them “tailing”, which is a behavior where their tails break the surface while they feed on the bottom.
They’re also one of the more forgiving species, meaning they’ll bite in a wide range of conditions, making them a solid target for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
