Redfish Species Overview
The “redfish” or red drum is one of the most popular inshore saltwater gamefish in Louisiana and beyond. They earn this popularity with their strong fight, willingness to eat a variety of ways and the fact that they are great eating themselves. They are caught by soaking baits in the passes, along oyster reefs and around inshore rigs. They can be stalked in the shallows of the bays and sight fished with artificial lures and flies. Louisiana is home to some of the best red fishing in the world and anglers come from all around to experience the thrill.
