Redfish
The maze of tidal creeks and estuaries surrounding Sea Island provides a fantastic habitat for Redfish, also known as Red Drum. What makes this area special is the diverse structure, from oyster beds to spartina grass flats, creating ambush points for these predators. The fall months are prime time, as Redfish school up before heading offshore to spawn. Focus on the edges of the grass flats during high tide, and the deeper channels during low tide. A local trick: use popping corks with soft plastics to attract attention in murky water. Reds in this area can be notoriously picky, so experiment with different lure colors and retrieves. Also, be mindful of the tides and currents; Redfish often orient themselves to face into the current, waiting for bait to wash by.
