Local Species Insights: Red Fish (Red Drum)
Redfish (Red Drum) are the prize catch in Milton's inshore waters, known for their powerful runs and fighting spirit. These copper-colored gamefish with their distinctive black tail spots prefer shallow flats, creek mouths, and oyster bars where they feed on crustaceans, small fish, and crabs. During March, redfish become particularly active in Milton as water temperatures rise to their preferred range.
For the best success, we target redfish using both artificial lures and live bait depending on conditions. Gold spoons, soft plastics, and jigs work exceptionally well in shallower areas, while cut bait often produces results in deeper channels. The average redfish in our waters runs 3-8 pounds, though trophy specimens exceeding 20 pounds are not uncommon for experienced anglers.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your 4-hour inshore fishing charter includes all necessary tackle, bait, licenses, and safety equipment. Our boat comfortably accommodates up to four anglers with plenty of deck space for casting. We recommend bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, weather-appropriate clothing, and a camera to document your catches. Morning trips typically begin at 7:00 AM, while afternoon trips start at 1:00 PM, though we can adjust start times based on tidal conditions to maximize your fishing success.
