Local Species Insights: Redfish

Redfish thrive in Oriental's shallow inshore waters, where they feed along grass beds, oyster bars, and creek mouths throughout the tidal cycle. These copper-colored drum are perfectly adapted to the brackish conditions found in Pamlico Sound, using their keen sense of smell to locate crabs, shrimp, and baitfish in the shallows. Captain Dave's approach focuses on live bait presentations and light tackle casting to structure where redfish patrol during different tide phases. The summer months bring excellent opportunities as redfish move into predictable feeding patterns, making Oriental an ideal location for targeting these prized inshore gamefish with proven techniques that have produced consistent results over the years.
