Local Species Insights: Red Fish

Red Fish, also known as Red Drum, are the crown jewel of South Padre Island's inshore fishery. These copper-colored fighters are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, making them a favorite target for light tackle enthusiasts. In March, Red Fish are actively feeding in shallow waters around grass beds and oyster structures, often in schools that provide multiple hookups. They respond well to live shrimp, cut bait, and artificial lures worked slowly along the bottom. The combination of their fighting ability and excellent table fare makes Red Fish the perfect target species for South Padre Island fishing charters.
