Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish in Milton's Avalon waters thrive in the diverse inshore ecosystem. Summer months bring them into shallower areas where they feed aggressively on crustaceans and baitfish. The characteristic copper color and black spot on their tail make them instantly recognizable when they come alongside the boat.
These fish respond well to multiple techniques. Bottom fishing with cut bait works exceptionally well along channel edges, while live bait fishing with pinfish or shrimp can entice larger specimens from structure. When the tide is moving, inshore trolling allows us to cover more water and locate active schools. Milton's waters offer excellent habitat with plenty of structure, grass flats, and tidal creeks that hold redfish year-round.
