Redfish Fishing:
Redfish are found all over Florida’s grassy beds, estuaries, flats and backcountry. Weighing in at as much as 30lbs., Redfish can put up a real FIGHT! Generally, Red fishing is a shallow water sight fishing sport done from a flats boat, wading or by kayak and canoe. The Redfish are caught with fly rod and light tackle. Reds munch on small marine life like shrimp, crabs, hard shell mollusks and other small bait fish that can be found in shallow water around structures and near grassy cover- and that is where iOutdoor will have you casting your line!
These fish are wary, and spook easily- it is imperative to have a stealthy vessel and skilled Captain to quietly “pole” your way into Reds territory. iOutdoor Redfish guides are experts at sight fishing and have been fishing Reds for years. You will have no problems reeling in one of these scarlet beauties with iOutdoor on your side!

Florida provides ample destinations to search down beautiful Redfish all year long. Fall may be the best time to catch a large specimen but you can access excellent fishing year round. Redfish spend a majority of their time in backwater estuaries, bays and saltwater lagoons along the coast. The east coast of Florida holds the BEST waters to catch a Bull Redfish. The west coast also holds great destinations and fisheries for catching Redfish but not of the size you can catch them on the east coast! New Smyrna Beach, located in North Florida is a prime destination for a Bull Redfish, especially during the fall months.
The Northeast Coast of Florida has several locations that hold Redfish most of the year. Generally, the redfish will spend the winter, spring, and summer months within estuaries and then leave for offshore waters or inlets to spawn during the fall. They are always on the move with changing tides, moving bait and trying to find the optimal water temperatures. Areas including the infamous Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon will have Redfish that spend their entire life cycle and spawn in deeper channels and cuts.
