Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Jacksonville's diverse inshore ecosystem, from shallow grass flats and oyster beds to deeper channels and dock structures. Captain David typically targets these fish using light to medium tackle with live bait like finger mullet, shrimp, or cut bait depending on the season and conditions. During cooler months, redfish often school in larger numbers, while summer finds them hunting more actively around structure. The shallow water sight-fishing opportunities for tailing redfish represent some of the most exciting fishing Jacksonville has to offer, especially during lower tides when fish become more concentrated in creeks and channels.
