Redfish are found primarily inshore. They can be found near bridges, piers, jetties, near docks, in the surf, in bays and in tidal creeks. Redfish will be found inshore year-round, which is one of the reasons why they are so popular among anglers.
Redfish Fishing in the Daytona Beach Area
Redfish are found year round in the inshore waters around the Ponce Inlet. This area has plenty of inshore waters to fish whether you want to fish the Ponce Inlet, the river, or specific spots such as river mouths, bridges, grass flats, docks and more. Spring and fall are typically the best months to target redfish and in the fall, big bull redfish move back into shore which gives anglers a shot at a trophy-sized fish.
Redfish Fishing Tips
Anglers target redfish with a variety of artificial lures, live baits and natural baits. While you have so many options for targeting redfish, most anglers will keep it simple and use live shrimp, dead shrimp or lures that mimic a shrimp. You can target the smaller reds with medium heavy rods and reels, but if you are going after bigger redfish, you’re going to want to go with medium heavy to heavy action gear to help land some of these huge fish.
