Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also called Red Drum) are among Crystal River's most prized inshore gamefish. These copper-colored predators with their distinctive tail spot are known for powerful runs and dogged fights. They thrive in Crystal River's shallow grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines where they hunt for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. Fall and winter months often produce the largest specimens as mature redfish gather in the area. Captain Bryan specializes in sight-fishing techniques that allow you to spot these magnificent fish before casting, adding an exciting visual element to the experience.
