Redfish Fishing in Florida

Redfish
  • Size 3 to 12lbs
  • Food Value Good
  • Game Qualities Good
  • Habitats Inshore, Nearshore, Flats, Backcountry

(Sciaenops ocellatus)

Redfish are the most highly sought after inshore catch in the waters of Florida. Look for them in the bays and passes on the Gulf side, where they'll mostly be younger and easier to catch, or on the Atlantic side in rivers, estuaries and flats, if you're looking for a real fight.

They range anywhere from 15 and 34'' and from grunts weighing a couple of lbs to bulls exceeding the 20lbs mark. Anglers are allowed to keep one or two per person, depending on the zone caught.

Die beste Saison soll scheinbar im circa Dezember/Januar oder im Juli/August sein. April ist trotzdem eine gute Zeit, fรผr Anfรคnger sogar ideal. Es muss ja nicht gleich ein Hai oder Tuna sein ?

Take the full day of fishing. It is tiring, but gives you a much better chance of catching some nice fish.

Keep lines tight on bottom to feel bite stand near middle of boat for less up down movement. The bite is gentle. Real up when you feel it.

Waters can be a bit choppy in April. For an amazing experience, if there is a slight possibility you may get sea sick, be sure to take something ahead of time.

The crew performed on a top notch level, catering to everyones needs based on experience, comfortability and even sea sickness. Cole was an expert when it came to the fishing, and Chase was a work horse ensuring our group had the ultimate experience. Captain Mike handled the rough waters well, and made his boat feel like home. If were ever in the Keys again, wed rent this charted 10 times over.
