Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Charleston's brackish marsh environment, feeding actively on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish throughout the tidal cycle. These copper-colored gamefish patrol shallow flats during high tide and concentrate near creek mouths and oyster bars as water levels drop. The 18-inch redfish caught on this trip represents a typical keeper-sized fish, perfect for the dinner table. Charleston's year-round redfish population peaks during fall months when cooler water temperatures trigger increased feeding activity. Captain Mike's local knowledge ensures productive fishing regardless of season or conditions.
