Local Species Insights: Red Fish (Red Drum)
The Redfish (Red Drum) is the star attraction in Milton's inshore waters. These copper-colored beauties with their distinctive black tail spot put up an impressive fight on light tackle. They typically patrol the shallow grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines, particularly during incoming tides when they move shallow to feed. Captain Jamie specializes in sight-fishing for them, scanning the flats for their telltale signs: pushing water, tailing, or creating mud boils as they root for crustaceans in the bottom.
March is an excellent time to target Redfish in Milton as warming spring waters activate these fish after winter. They respond well to a variety of presentations from artificial lures like soft plastics and gold spoons to natural baits like cut mullet or live shrimp. The morning hours are particularly productive, which is why our 8:00 AM departure time is strategically chosen to maximize your chances of success.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our trips depart from a convenient marina in the Milton/Pensacola area. Captain Jamie's boat is fully equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suitable for inshore fishing. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, a hat, weather-appropriate clothing, and a small cooler for drinks and snacks. A camera is essential for documenting your catch, though we practice catch-and-release for most species to preserve the fishery. Morning trips benefit from calmer waters and more active fish, making them ideal for families and those who prefer comfortable fishing conditions.
