Hilton Head's inshore waters fish well year-round, with each season offering different opportunities. Spring and fall provide the most consistent action, when redfish and trout are actively feeding in the shallows. Summer brings warm water species and early morning trips are most productive, while winter offers excellent sight fishing opportunities on calm, clear days. Tidal movement is crucial here – the best fishing typically occurs during moving water, especially the two hours before and after high tide.
Water clarity varies with tides and weather, but the protected nature of our inshore waters means we can usually find fishable conditions even when offshore trips are cancelled. Light tackle and artificial lures work well, though live bait often produces the biggest fish. Captain Kim will adjust techniques based on current conditions and your skill level.
