When is the best time to fish for redfish in Darien?

Redfish are present year-round in Darien's waters, but the prime time is typically from late summer through fall. During these months, redfish are more active and can be found in larger schools, providing excellent opportunities for anglers.

Sheepshead are known for their cautious bite and are commonly found around structures like docks, bridges, and oyster beds.
