Highlights of Hilton Head Redfish Fishing
The Lowcountry waters around Hilton Head Island offer some of the Southeast's most consistent redfish action. These copper-colored drum cruise the shallow flats and oyster bars, feeding on shrimp, crabs, and baitfish in the nutrient-rich tidal zones. Anglers can expect sight fishing opportunities on the flats during moving tides, with fish ranging from slot-size reds to oversized bulls that provide heart-stopping runs.
The protected waters of Port Royal Sound and Calibogue Sound create ideal conditions for targeting redfish year-round, with peak action during the warmer months when fish are most active in the shallows.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish in Hilton Head waters are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights in shallow water. These fish patrol the oyster bars and grass flats during high tide, moving into deeper creek channels as water levels drop. Local redfish respond well to live shrimp, cut bait, and artificial lures like spoons and soft plastics. The key to success lies in reading the tides and positioning near structure where these fish ambush prey.
