Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish, also known as red drum, are one of Hilton Head Island's most sought-after inshore species. These bronze-colored fish with their distinctive black tail spot thrive in the area's extensive marsh systems and tidal creeks. They can be caught year-round in local waters, though many anglers consider fall and spring prime seasons when water temperatures are moderate. Redfish are ambush predators that feed aggressively on shrimp, crabs, and small baitfish, making them exciting targets that often provide strong, determined fights when hooked. Captain Kim specializes in locating these fish as they patrol oyster beds, creek mouths, and grass flats throughout the Hilton Head area.
