Redfish

    The redfish is found from
    southern New Jersey to Florida
    and all across the Gulf Coast.  
    You can catch redfish off shore or
    fairly close to shore from a boat.  

Fish over 70 pounds have been caught, but most fish are in the 5 to 15
pound range.  

Catching Redfish

In the Outer Banks, redfish are caught in the surf, along the outer bars,
sounds and bays.  Anglers will also sight fish for schools of redfish along
the outer bars.  Redfish will school up in the spring making sight fishing
very exciting.  You will actually be able to see a dark shadow moving
along that consists of over a dozen or more bass.

In the southern part of their range and along the Gulf Coast, sight
fishing is very popular for redfish around channel edges and mud
banks.  Redfish congregate in these areas during the high tide.

Redfish can be caught with menhaden or mullet on a bottom rig.  Crab
and shrimp will also work as well as any artificial lure that imitates a crab
or shrimp.  Redfish are very tasty; however, the smaller fish taste much
better than the larger fish.  Most anglers release the larger fish and
keep the smaller fish.
