Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) are the signature species of the Texas coast, particularly around Aransas Pass where they thrive in the shallow, grassy flats and oyster-lined channels. These copper-colored fish with their distinctive tail spot put up an impressive fight, making them a favorite among sport fishermen. Captain David targets these fish using various techniques depending on conditions, including sight-casting to tailing fish in shallow water, working popping corks along grass lines, or fishing cut bait around structure. The Aransas Pass area provides excellent year-round opportunities for redfish, with many fish in the 20-30 inch range, though trophy-sized bull reds exceeding 40 inches are not uncommon, especially during fall spawning runs.
