Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in League City's brackish waters where freshwater from Clear Creek mixes with saltwater from Galveston Bay. These copper-colored drum feed aggressively on blue crabs, white shrimp, and small baitfish found around oyster reefs and grass beds. The distinctive black spot near their tail makes redfish easy to identify, though some fish display multiple spots or none at all. League City redfish typically range from 18-30 inches, with larger bull redfish over 35 inches caught during cooler months when they move into deeper bay waters.
