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.

    Redfish heaven

    Captain Mike put us on the redfish today. We had our dinner in the cooler within the first 30 minutes and caught many more within and above slot throughout the rest of the day. His skiff will get you back into some of thise tight areas where the boats can’t go. Along the way we learned a bit more about the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and some facts about the local wildlife.

    Biggest redfish of my life!

    Caption did a great job. My wife and I went out today and our son and his friend both 12 years old so captain had his hands full to say the least. He did a great job not only putting us on fish but continuously waiting hooks , unhooking fish and getting lines out of trees.. he stayed patient with them and worked hard to make sure we all had a good time! My wife landed a monster redfish and lost a 60 pound tarpon at the boat!.. a memorable trip to say the least.

    Biggest Redfish I’ve Ever Caught!

    This morning, we braved the wind, the cold, and the rough waters, and caught the biggest redfish I’ve ever caught! Captain Tyler was enthusiastic and knew right where they’d be biting. So we headed out, close to shore to catch bait, watch an amazing sunrise, see some dolphins, then headed back to the bridge to fight the reds. And boy, did they give us a fight! All in all, a great day on the water! Thank you, Captain T!
