Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) are one of the most sought-after inshore species in South Carolina waters. These beautiful copper-colored fish with their distinctive black spot on the tail are found throughout Hilton Head's inshore waters, particularly around oyster beds, creek mouths, and grassy flats. Redfish feed most actively during moving tides, when Captain Kim can position you perfectly to intercept them as they search for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. Fall through spring offers particularly good fishing, though redfish can be caught year-round with the right approach. The average Hilton Head redfish ranges from 18-27 inches, with larger specimens exceeding 30 inches in the cooler months.
