Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (Red Drum) are the premier inshore gamefish in Aransas Pass waters. These copper-colored bruisers with their distinctive tail spot are known for powerful runs and their willingness to take a variety of baits and lures. In the shallow waters around Aransas Pass, redfish can be found year-round, with fall typically producing the largest schools as they prepare for spawning.
Captain David targets these fish using light tackle with soft plastics, topwater lures, or natural baits depending on conditions. The marshes, grass flats, and channel edges of Aransas Pass create perfect redfish habitat where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and baitfish. For the best action, morning and evening tides often produce the most consistent results when these fish push into shallow water to feed.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Captain David provides quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait suited for targeting redfish in these waters. The boat is well-maintained with safety equipment and fish-finding technology to maximize your chances of success.
