These fish thrive in the extensive salt marshes, tidal creeks, and oyster beds surrounding Hilton Head Island. Typical catches range from 18-30 inches, with the 24-inch specimen shown being a quality fish. Redfish feed actively around structure, particularly during moving tides when they hunt for crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish.
