Local Species Insights: Red Fish (Red Drum)
Red drum, commonly called redfish, are the premier inshore gamefish along the Texas Gulf Coast, and Port Aransas waters offer some of the most consistent action in the state. These copper-colored fighters inhabit the shallow grass flats, oyster reefs, and channel edges around Redfish Bay, where they feed aggressively on shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish.
