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 Sebastian, Florida Area
Redfish are found year round in the inshore waters of Sebastian, Florida. The Indian River provides excellent fishing for them as anglers have so many areas to fish. The Sebastian Inlet and the jetties are great spots to fish, however, as you push further inland, you can find them around bridges, docks, grass flats, mangroves and plenty of other areas too. While you can catch them in any month, the fall brings the big bull redfish closer to shore, which gives anglers their best chance to catch a real big redfish inshore.
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.
