Local Species Insights: Red Fish (Red Drum)

Red drum thrive in Port Aransas' shallow bays and grass flats, particularly during March when warming water temperatures trigger increased feeding activity. These copper-colored gamefish are known for their distinctive black spots and powerful runs that test both tackle and angler skill. Captain Cory targets them using live bait and artificial lures around structure where they ambush prey, often in water depths of 2-6 feet. The spring bite offers excellent opportunities for both catch-and-release trophy fishing and harvesting keeper-sized fish for the dinner table.
