Highlights of Redfish Fishing Charter
Hilton Head's extensive marsh system creates ideal habitat for redfish, offering consistent fishing opportunities in protected waters. These copper-colored drum species average 18-27 inches in local waters, with larger bull reds available in deeper channels during certain seasons. The shallow water sight-fishing opportunities allow anglers to watch redfish feeding in crystal-clear flats, creating memorable visual experiences alongside the fishing action.
Our local knowledge includes understanding tidal movements, seasonal patterns, and preferred feeding areas that maximize your chances of success. The Lowcountry's year-round fishing season means redfish remain active even during cooler months, making this an excellent choice for any time of year.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Hilton Head's brackish waters where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish along oyster bars and grass flats. These drum species prefer water depths of 1-4 feet during feeding periods, making them perfect targets for sight-fishing techniques. Their copper-bronze coloration and distinctive black spot near the tail make them easily identifiable in shallow water. Redfish fight with powerful runs and head-shaking action that tests both tackle and angler skill, especially in the 20-30 inch range commonly found in our local waters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Our fishing charter accommodates up to 4 anglers comfortably with all tackle, bait, and safety equipment provided. We launch from convenient Hilton Head marinas with easy parking and restroom facilities. Early morning and late afternoon trips often produce the best results when redfish move into shallow feeding areas. Bring sun protection, snacks, and drinks for your comfort during the trip. No fishing license required for charter guests as Captain Kim maintains all necessary permits for guided fishing operations.
