Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also called red drum) thrive in the diverse ecosystem around Hilton Head Island. These copper-colored predators with distinctive black tail spots can be found year-round in the area's extensive marsh systems, creek mouths, and flats. Fishing techniques vary by season, with sight fishing being particularly productive during lower tides when redfish venture onto shallow flats to feed on crabs, shrimp, and small baitfish. Fall and winter months often produce the largest specimens as mature fish move into the shallows. Captain Kim has perfected techniques specifically for Hilton Head's unique tidal patterns, ensuring productive trips regardless of when you book.
