Redfish are a local favorite, known for their coppery color and distinctive black spot near the tail. You'll typically find them in shallow waters, around 1-4 feet deep, hanging out near oyster beds, grass flats, and mud bottoms. Most weigh 5-15 pounds, but they can get much bigger offshore. These fish put up a great fight and are delicious on the plate, making them a real crowd-pleaser. Fall and spring are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round. They're not picky eaters, so live bait like shrimp works well, but artificial lures can be just as effective. Try topwater plugs for some exciting surface action, or work a jig along the bottom. Here's a local tip: on calm days, look for their tails breaking the surface as they feed in super shallow water. It's a sight to see and can lead to some heart-pounding catches. Just remember to approach quietly so you don't spook them.
Black drum are the heavyweight cousins of redfish, often weighing 5-30 pounds, with some monsters topping 90. You'll find them in brackish waters and estuaries, often around oyster beds and mudflats. They're easy to spot with their grey coloring and 'chin whiskers' used for sensing food. These fish are most active in spring during their spawning season, but you can catch them year-round. They're not known for acrobatics, but larger drum put up a stubborn, powerful fight that'll test your gear. Smaller ones under 15 pounds are great eating, with a mild, flaky meat. Black drum are bottom feeders, so use natural baits like crab, clams, or shrimp. A simple bottom rig works well. Here's a tip: listen for their distinctive 'drumming' sound underwater – it's how they communicate and can lead you right to them. Just drop your bait nearby and get ready for action.
Sheepshead are unique-looking fish with black and white stripes that earned them the nickname "convict fish." They typically weigh 1-8 pounds and love hanging around structures like docks, bridges, and oyster reefs. These fish are famous for their human-like teeth, which they use to crush barnacles and crabs. Spring is the best time to target sheepshead, as they gather in large groups to spawn. They're tricky to catch, known for stealing bait, but that's part of the fun. The fight isn't spectacular, but the challenge of hooking them keeps anglers coming back. Plus, they're excellent eating with sweet, white meat. For best results, use small hooks and natural baits like fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp. Here's a local secret: scrape some barnacles off a piling to create a chum slick. This'll bring the sheepshead right to you. Just be ready to set the hook fast – these bait thieves are quick!
