Local Species Insights: Sea Trout and Redfish
Sea trout and redfish represent the backbone of Hilton Head's inshore fishery, offering exciting action for anglers of all skill levels. Sea trout prefer grass flats and sandy bottoms where they ambush shrimp and small baitfish, making them perfect targets for live bait and soft plastic lures. Redfish cruise shallow waters around oyster bars and creek edges, often feeding in just a few feet of water where sight fishing becomes possible.
Both species respond well to the combination of techniques we employ, from slow-trolling live bait over grass beds to casting spoons and jigs around structure. Fall conditions bring cooler water temperatures that activate feeding, with fish often schooling up for easier targeting. The key is reading the water and adjusting your presentation based on tide movement and bait activity.

Our 22-foot center console provides a stable platform for up to 4 anglers, equipped with quality tackle, live wells, and fish boxes.

We recommend bringing sunscreen, drinks, snacks, and your valid South Carolina fishing license.
