Flamefish is a term used to describe a type of fish with vibrant red-orange coloring. Synonyms for this fish include redfish, red drum, channel bass, bull red, and spottail bass. These fish are popular among anglers due to their size and fighting spirit. Additionally, they are considered a delicacy in many coastal regions of the United States. The name "spottail" comes from a distinctive black spot near the fish's tail. Despite the various names, all of these fish belong to the same species, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including soft bottom estuaries and hard-shell bottoms.
