Highlights of Hilton Head Redfish Fishing
Hilton Head Island's extensive salt marsh system creates ideal redfish habitat, with miles of shallow flats, winding creeks, and oyster-studded shorelines. These waters consistently produce quality fish in the 20-30 inch range, with trophy specimens over 35 inches possible during peak seasons. The area's year-round fishery means excellent action in all seasons, though spring and fall offer the most consistent bite.
Our charters focus on light tackle techniques that showcase the redfish's fighting ability. Sight-casting to tailing fish in shallow water provides heart-pounding excitement, while working deeper creek bends and structure produces steady action. Captain Kim's intimate knowledge of local tides, seasonal patterns, and productive spots ensures maximum fishing time and success rates.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish are the crown jewel of Hilton Head's inshore fishery, thriving in our brackish creeks and shallow flats year-round. These copper-colored drums feed aggressively on crabs, shrimp, and baitfish in water often less than three feet deep. Their distinctive black spot near the tail and bronze coloration make them easily identifiable, while their powerful runs and stubborn fights create memorable battles on light tackle. Peak feeding occurs during moving tides, especially around oyster bars and creek mouths where baitfish concentrate.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charters depart from convenient Hilton Head marinas with easy parking and amenities. Captain Kim provides a fully equipped flats boat designed for shallow water fishing, complete with poling platform for sight-fishing opportunities. All tackle, bait, and safety equipment are included, though you're welcome to bring personal gear. We recommend bringing sun protection, drinks, and snacks for longer trips. Fishing licenses are required and can be purchased online or at local tackle shops before your charter.
