Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) are the signature inshore species of Port Aransas, thriving in the area's diverse habitats. These copper-colored predators with their distinctive black tail spot can be found year-round in the flats, channels, and passes throughout the region. During fall months, redfish often school up and feed aggressively, making them particularly exciting targets.
Captain Joshua specializes in multiple techniques for targeting redfish, including sight-casting on the flats, working structure along channel edges, or fishing bait around passes. The local redfish population includes both slot-sized fish (20-28 inches) perfect for the table and larger bull reds that provide tremendous sport on light tackle.
