Red Drum, commonly called Redfish in the southeastern United States, are one of the most sought-after inshore species along the Gulf Coast. These copper-colored gamefish are known for their strong fights and excellent table fare, making them popular targets for anglers visiting the Milton and Pensacola area. - Redfish often feed in shallow water, creating visible "tailing" when their tails break the surface while feeding on bottom-dwelling creatures. - In Milton waters, Redfish can be caught year-round, with March through November being particularly productive months.

Local Species Insights: Red Fish
The waters around Milton and Pensacola Bay are prime habitat for Redfish (Red Drum), one of Florida's most sought-after inshore species. These golden-bronze beauties with their distinctive tail spot thrive in the shallow grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines throughout the region. Captain Jamie's approach combines sight-fishing in clear shallows with targeted casting to structure where Redfish gather to feed. March is an excellent time to target them as warming waters bring these fish into shallower areas where they become more aggressive and accessible to anglers.
Redfish respond well to a variety of techniques, from live bait presentations with shrimp or finger mullet to artificial lures like gold spoons, soft plastics, and topwater plugs in low-light conditions. Captain Jamie specializes in light tackle approaches that maximize the sporting qualities of these hard-fighting fish. Most Redfish caught on these charters fall in the 18-27 inch "slot" range, providing both excellent action and potential for a delicious meal if you choose to keep your catch.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When preparing for your charter with Captain Jamie, dress in layers appropriate for the weather, and don't forget sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection. While all fishing tackle is provided, you're welcome to bring your favorite rod if you prefer. A small cooler for beverages and snacks is recommended, and Captain Jamie can provide a larger cooler with ice for your catch if you plan to keep fish. Morning departures typically meet at the marina at 7:30 AM for an 8:00 AM launch, with the exact meeting location details provided after booking confirmation.
