Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as red drum) thrive in the diverse estuarine environment surrounding Hilton Head Island. These copper-colored gamefish with their distinctive black tail spot are ambush predators that feed actively around oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths. Captain Kim typically targets them using live bait such as shrimp or mullet, but they'll also readily strike artificial lures like soft plastics and gold spoons. Fall through spring offers some of the best redfish action, when cooling waters concentrate these fish in predictable locations. The satisfaction of hooking into a hard-fighting redfish in shallow water is what brings anglers back to Hilton Head year after year.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
I Love Fishing Charters operates a well-maintained, comfortable fishing boat perfectly suited for navigating Hilton Head's inshore waters. The vessel accommodates up to 4 anglers comfortably, making this an ideal trip for families, friends, or small groups. Morning trips typically begin around 7:00 AM to take advantage of active feeding periods, though afternoon trips are also productive depending on tidal conditions. Captain Kim recommends bringing sun protection, comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, and a camera to document your catch. Light snacks and water are provided, but feel free to bring additional refreshments for your day on the water.
