Refish also known as the red drum, is a salt water fish which can be found along the coast of the southern USA. Redfish have blunt nose, a chin without barbels and a wide undercut mouth. They are a reddish copper and bronze color on their body in dark water , with lighter shades in clear waters. The underside and belly is pure white. They have from one to as many fifty spots at base of their tail and very rarely no spots at all. You can recognize it by the black spot on their tails. Redfish inhabit shallow bays and esturaries, targeting crustaceans and baitfish. They are highly prized as a recreational fish. People who are fishing these fish are called redfish anglers. They often compete in national tournaments that are similar to freshwater bass fishing events. There are redfish tournaments all over the gulf coast. In fact the first time I heard about redfish fishing was when I saw one on TV one Sunday morning. I was totally fascinated by it and I still am.
