Redfish thrive in Hilton Head's brackish creeks and shallow flats, feeding on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. These copper-colored drums are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fighting ability, making them a favorite target for light tackle anglers. Captain Kim uses a variety of techniques including topwater plugs during early morning hours, soft plastics around structure, and live bait when fish are finicky.
