Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) are one of the most sought-after inshore species in the Milton and Pensacola areas. These copper-colored fighters with their distinctive black spot near the tail are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights. In the waters around Milton, redfish can be found year-round but are particularly active in the fall and spring months when water temperatures are moderate.
The shallow flats, grass beds, and oyster bars around Milton provide ideal habitat for redfish to hunt for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. Captain Jamie specializes in targeting these fish using light tackle methods that maximize the sporting experience. During higher tides, redfish often push up into the marshes and mangroves to feed, while lower tides concentrate them in deeper channels and potholes. This predictable pattern makes them an excellent target for guided fishing trips throughout the year.
