Redfish are Florida’s favorite inshore sport fish. They thrive in the state’s bays, estuaries, and sprawling flats. Anglers love their bronze color, hard runs, and dependable year-round action. Sight fishing for tailing Redfish on clear flats is a true Florida highlight.

Most trips focus on inshore fishing around mangroves, oyster bars, and grass flats. Captains often use spinning tackle with live shrimp, pinfish, or mullet. Spoons, soft plastics, and topwater plugs also work well. Fly fishing with crab or shrimp patterns is great when fish are shallow and calm.

Charters usually run on shallow-draft skiffs or bay boats built for skinny water. Runs are short, waters are protected, and the action suits beginners and families. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses to spot fish, comfortable clothing, and any snacks or drinks. Your captain provides rods, tackle, and local know-how.

Florida offers famous Redfish areas from the Panhandle to the Keys. The Big Bend marshes, Tampa Bay, and Charlotte Harbor have thick grass flats and oyster habitat. On the Atlantic side, the Indian River Lagoon and Mosquito Lagoon are known for sight casting. The Everglades backcountry and Northeast Florida’s tidal creeks near Jacksonville also produce quality fish.

Before you go, check Florida’s current rules for licenses, seasons, and harvest. Regulations can change by region, and some areas may require catch and release at times. Your captain will explain the latest guidelines and best practices on the day of your trip.

    Awesome Trip!

    Trevor is awesome & super knowledgeable. This was my first fishing charter, booked a solo trip for my birthday & had a great time. Caught some trout & a redfish, I’d call that a win. Would definitely recommend & do again.
