Redfish Channel Bass Fishing in Georgia
Recent trip to the Georgia shore for a Redfish fishing trip. Lots of great action during our recent trip to the Georgia shore for Redfish channel bass. Big Redfish / channel bass and some smaller slot fish as well.
Redfish /Channel Bass, (Sciaenops ocellatus,) usually occur in great supply along the coastal waters and have been found to weigh up to 75 pounds although most large ones average between 30 and 40 pounds. The most distinguishing mark on the red drum is one large black spot on the upper part of the tail base. Having multiple spots is not uncommon for this fish but having no spots is extremely rare. The color of red drum ranges from a deep blackish, coppery color to nearly silver. The most common color is reddish-bronze. Red drum is a fast growing fish reaching approximately 11 inches and one pound in its first year, 17-22 inches and 3 1/2 pounds in two years, and 22-24 inches and 6-8 pounds in three years. The record red drum was 94 pounds and was caught on the East coast.
