Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish thrive in South Padre Island's shallow bay waters, feeding aggressively around oyster reefs, grass flats, and channel edges. These copper-colored fighters are known for their powerful runs and stubborn resistance, making them a favorite target for light tackle anglers. During summer months, redfish often feed in water less than three feet deep, creating exciting sight-fishing opportunities where you can watch them take your bait. Captain Steven knows the prime redfish spots and adjusts techniques based on water clarity, wind conditions, and tidal movement to give you the best chance at landing these prized inshore gamefish.

With capacity for up to 3 anglers, there's plenty of room to fish comfortably while enjoying personalized instruction and guidance. Morning trips take advantage of cooler temperatures and active feeding periods, typically returning to the dock by mid-day with great memories and hopefully some fresh fish for the table.
