Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (Red Drum) are one of the most popular inshore gamefish in North Carolina's waters. These copper-colored fighters, identified by their distinctive black spot on the tail, thrive in the diverse habitats around Wanchese. Captain Lance specializes in targeting these fish in shallow flats, along channel edges, and around oyster beds where they feed actively.
Redfish can be caught year-round in the Outer Banks, with peak seasons in late summer through fall when they school up in larger numbers. They respond well to a variety of techniques, from live bait fishing with mullet or shrimp to artificial lures like soft plastics and spoons. The 20-inch specimen caught on this trip represents a quality "slot" fish—the perfect size for both good sport and potentially keeping for dinner (when regulations allow).
