They can explore the bay's maze of channels and oyster reefs, casting their lines along the edges of the flats and mangrove islands, presenting their offerings to hungry fish prowling the shallows.

Another common type of fishing in Redfish Bay is drift fishing, which involves drifting with the current or wind to cover a larger area and target a variety of species. Anglers can drift along the bay's open waters, casting lures or fishing with live bait to tempt strikes from species such as speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. Drift fishing allows anglers to cover expansive flats and channels, increasing their chances of encountering feeding fish and enjoying productive fishing action.
