Local Fishing Insights
Hilton Head Island offers excellent fishing opportunities throughout the year. The inshore waters feature extensive marsh systems, tidal creeks, and sounds that are home to redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and sheepshead. These species can be targeted using light tackle with live bait or artificial lures around oyster beds, creek mouths, and grassy edges.
Nearshore fishing around Hilton Head provides opportunities for Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and cobia during warmer months. The best fishing often coincides with moving tides, which flush bait and activate predatory fish. Captain Kim understands these patterns and positions anglers in prime locations based on tide, wind, and time of year for the best chance at consistent action.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
For your day on the water, wear comfortable clothing, non-marking shoes, and bring sun protection including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. A light jacket is recommended for morning trips when temperatures can be cooler on the water. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture memories of your catch, and consider bringing a small cooler for drinks and snacks unless otherwise provided.
Charters typically meet at a designated marina in Hilton Head Island. Captain Kim recommends arriving about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Fishing trips can be scheduled throughout the day, with morning trips often providing productive fishing and comfortable temperatures, especially during summer months.
