Local Species Insights: Red Drum
The Red Drum (Redfish) is the star attraction in Milton's inshore waters, especially during spring months when they move into shallower areas to feed. These bronze-colored gamefish with their distinctive tail spot provide exciting sight-fishing opportunities along grass flats and oyster bars throughout Pensacola Bay. Captain Jamie's local techniques often involve working soft plastics or live bait around structure, allowing you to experience the heart-pounding moment when a Redfish crashes your offering in clear water.
Milton's unique geography, with its mix of bayous, flats, and channels, creates perfect Redfish habitat year-round. March trips benefit from warming water temperatures that activate these fish after winter's chill, making them more aggressive and willing to strike. The satisfaction of battling a hard-pulling Redfish on light tackle is something every angler should experience when visiting Florida's Panhandle region.
