Local Fishing Insights
Hilton Head Island offers some of South Carolina's most diverse inshore fishing opportunities. The network of tidal creeks, marshes, and shallow flats creates perfect habitat for species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder. These productive waters feature oyster bars, creek mouths, and grass edges that hold fish throughout the year.
Seasonal patterns greatly affect fishing success around the island. Summer months bring consistent action with multiple species actively feeding in the warmer waters. Fall transitions bring larger schools of Redfish into the shallows, while winter can offer some surprisingly good days for Trout and Sheepshead around structure. Spring sees the return of more species and increased activity throughout the ecosystem. With the right local knowledge, every season offers its own unique opportunities for anglers of all skill levels.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
For your 3-hour trip with I Love Fishing Charters, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes appropriate for the weather, along with non-marking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen), and a camera to document your catch. We provide quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, licenses, and safety equipment. Most trips depart from C.C. Haigh, Jr. Boat Landing, where there's convenient parking and easy access to productive fishing grounds.
Our charter boat comfortably accommodates up to 3 guests and is well-equipped for inshore fishing adventures. We practice catch-and-release whenever possible but can clean keeper fish for you to take home when regulations permit. For the best experience, arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time, and feel free to bring drinks and snacks in a small cooler. Captain Kim will ensure everyone on board has a safe, enjoyable, and productive day on the water.
