Detailed Description:

These redfish photos shown below are close up pictures showing you exactly what a redfish fish looks like. Redfish, often called "reds", "red drum", or sometimes even "red bass", are caught in salt water or brine water, and are a favorite eating fish for many fishing anglers. Redfish have spots on them, normally just one, but sometimes up to 20 or 30. Some redfish tournaments are based on who catches the redfish with the most spots on them. Redfish are known for their fast hits when fishing, and can put up a great fight. These fish were almost fished to extinction in many areas. That is why you now have very tight fishing regulations on what you can keep, and it is important to follow these rules so there will still be redfish the next time you go fishing. Redfish often feed on bait such as shrimp, fiddler crabs, and clams. Cut up fish, oysters, or minnows also work as redfish bait.

Look at the color difference between the redfish above and the redfish below. The redfish below was caught in a creek with mostly fresh water. You can see the color is far more golden, while the redfish above is far more silver and was caught in a creek that was saltwater. The number of spots vary greatly, as the redfish above is like most reds, and it has one or two spots on it. Reds are known to move through the back creeks searching the weeks for minnows and fiddler or stone crabs, so they can often be caught fishing even in shallow back water, but they are spooked very easily.

Please remember to always following fishing regulations for catch and release, as it is important to release fish to help keep the population strong for the next time you go out fishing. Releasing larger fish that produce the most eggs is also critical, and remember when releasing fish that you handle them as little as possible, and get them back into the water as soon as you can.
