Red Drum, globally known as Redfish, are among Texas's most sought-after fish species. These inshore beasts are famous for their specific looks, fighting abilities, and delicious meat. It comes as no surprise that they're on everyone's radar. Naturally, Galveston fishing charters have mastered the art of pursuing Redfish and they'll make sure you feel what Red Drum fishing in Galveston is all about.

Galveston’s inshore waters are abundant in Redfish throughout the entire year. This means that there isn't a closed season. Some time frames, however, are more prolific than others. September, for example, is considered to be the best month to go after Reds. But you certainly won't end up empty-handed if you hit Galveston any day between late summer and early fall.

Redfish inhabit Galveston's flats, bayous, and estuaries and prefer shallow waters with depths up to 4 feet. You'll spot them meandering muddy and grassy seafloors as well as swimming near different structures and jetties. Their favorite food are live shrimps, but Redfish will gulp just about anything you throw at them. Be it live bait, dead bait, or artificials, Reds will bite.

The same goes for angling approaches. Redfish are susceptible to a variety of fishing methods. Fly fishing, surf angling, sight or blind casting, wading – you can give all of these a try and the chances are that a Red will grace the end of your line. Sight casting, however, is particularly popular in Galveston.
