Local Tips & Conditions
Fishing the inshore waters around Hilton Head Island offers a mix of tidal creeks, flats, oyster beds, and deeper channels that create ideal habitat for Sea Trout and Redfish. The fall season brings some of the year's most consistent fishing as water temperatures moderate and baitfish become more concentrated. Morning trips take advantage of cooler temperatures and often calmer waters, creating perfect conditions for sight fishing in shallower areas.
Our local knowledge helps navigate the significant tidal fluctuations that influence where and how we fish. During lower tides, we focus on creek channels and deeper holes where fish congregate, while higher tides allow us to access shallow flats and oyster bars where redfish often cruise for food. The varied ecosystem around Hilton Head creates multiple fishing opportunities within a short run from our departure point, meaning more time with lines in the water and less running between spots.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our charter boat is well-equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, and electronics to put you on fish. We provide all necessary fishing licenses, bait, and tackle—just bring personal items like sunglasses, sun protection, and any preferred drinks or snacks. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 4 passengers, making it perfect for small groups or families.
We recommend wearing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and non-marking shoes. Our morning trips typically depart at 8:00 AM, but we can sometimes adjust start times to accommodate your schedule. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before departure to get situated. Even if you've never fished before, Captain Kim provides patient instruction to ensure everyone has a great experience on the water.
