Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) thrive in the shallow grass flats and mangrove shorelines surrounding Anna Maria Island. These powerful fighters are known for their distinctive copper color and characteristic black spot on the tail. Fall and early winter months bring some of the best redfish action as larger specimens move into the inshore waters. Captain Andrew specializes in sight-fishing for these trophies, allowing anglers to experience the thrill of watching a redfish track and strike a well-placed bait. The local population includes both slot-sized fish and oversized bulls like the 37-incher pictured here.
