Local Species Insights: Red Fish
Red Fish (Red Drum) are the signature inshore species of Hilton Head's waters, known for their distinctive copper coloration and black tail spot. These powerful fighters are abundant in the local waters, particularly in April when warming temperatures draw them into creeks and shallow flats. Red Drum respond well to both artificial lures and natural baits, making them accessible to anglers of all skill levels.
During spring months, look for Red Fish cruising the edges of oyster beds and marsh grass during high tide, where they search for crabs, shrimp, and smaller baitfish. Captain Kim specializes in light tackle approaches that maximize the sporting qualities of these hard-pulling fish. The shallow water nature of Hilton Head's inshore fishing means you'll often sight-cast to visible fish, adding an exciting visual element to your fishing experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or first-timer, hooking into a Hilton Head Red will create lasting fishing memories.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
For your 2-hour inshore charter with Captain Kim, plan to arrive at C.C. Haigh, Jr. Boat Landing about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 3 guests, making this ideal for small groups or families. All fishing equipment is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait – you just need to bring sun protection, comfortable clothing, and any snacks or beverages you might want during your time on the water.
Morning trips often provide the best fishing action, but Captain Kim's knowledge of local tides and fish movement patterns ensures productive fishing throughout the day. Remember that while the charter is focused on catching fish, weather and seasonal patterns can affect results – but the scenic beauty of Hilton Head's waterways ensures an enjoyable experience regardless. Don't forget your camera to document your catches, and consider bringing a small cooler if you plan to keep legal fish for the table.
