Redfish Fishing (Red Drum)
Boca Grande / Charlotte Harbor, Florida
The expansive mangroves and grass flats of Charlotte Harbor provides perfect habitat for redfish (red drum). Bull Bay, Turtle Bay and Pine Island Sound produce consistent redfish action. We fish for redfish with fly rods and light spinning gear. Flies are mostly sub surface baitfish and crab patterns but redfish will take top water offerings like sliders and gurglers too. Lures are typically soft plastic on jig heads, bucktails or swim baits that imitate crabs or fin fish.
