Highlights of Hilton Head Redfish Fishing
Hilton Head Island's extensive marsh system creates ideal habitat for redfish, with shallow flats, oyster bars, and tidal creeks providing year-round fishing opportunities. The area's clear water often allows for exciting sight fishing, where you can watch redfish cruise the shallows before making your cast. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, though winter fishing can be excellent during warmer periods when fish move into deeper creek bends and channels.
Our charters focus on light tackle fishing using live bait, cut bait, and artificial lures depending on conditions and angler preference. The scenic Lowcountry backdrop adds to the experience, with dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife commonly spotted during trips.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Hilton Head's brackish waters, using the area's extensive marsh system for feeding and shelter. These copper-colored drum are perfectly adapted to shallow water hunting, with their downturned mouths ideal for rooting out crabs, shrimp, and small fish from oyster bars and grass flats. Local redfish typically range from 18 to 32 inches, with larger bull reds occasionally caught in deeper channels during cooler months. Their powerful runs and stubborn fighting style make them a favorite target for both novice and experienced anglers.
