Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish, also known as red drum, are one of New Smyrna Beach's premier inshore game fish. These copper-colored predators with their distinctive black tail spot thrive in the area's shallow flats, oyster beds, and mangrove shorelines. Redfish in the 26-inch class, like the one caught on this trip, put up a tremendous fight with powerful runs that test both tackle and angler.
Captain Zachary specializes in targeting these fish using a variety of techniques depending on conditions. During warmer months, redfish often patrol shallow flats looking for crabs and shrimp, while cooler weather may find them gathered in deeper channels. Live bait presentations or artificial lures like soft plastics and gold spoons are particularly effective when fishing with Captain Zachary's guidance in New Smyrna Beach waters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Right Off Rip Fishing, plan to arrive early for your scheduled departure time. Captain Zachary provides a comfortable, well-maintained boat equipped with quality fishing gear suited to the day's target species. Clients should bring sun protection, appropriate clothing for the weather, and any personal items needed for a day on the water. Morning trips often produce the best action for redfish like the 26-inch beauty in this gallery, but Captain Zachary can advise on optimal timing based on season and tides. The captain focuses on creating a safe, enjoyable experience while putting you on quality fish throughout your charter.
