Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (Red Drum) are one of Pensacola's premier inshore species, known for their powerful fights and distinctive spot near the tail. In December, these copper-colored gamefish concentrate in deeper holes and channels as water temperatures cool. Captain Jamie expertly targets them around oyster bars, grass flats, and deeper drop-offs where they seek both protection and feeding opportunities. Using a combination of live bait and artificial lures, you'll learn the most effective techniques for enticing these hard-fighting fish to strike. Redfish in the Pensacola area typically range from 3-8 pounds, with larger "bull reds" exceeding 20 pounds possible during certain seasons.
