Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also called Red Drum) thrive in the Hilton Head Island ecosystem, where they can be found around oyster bars, grass flats, and channel edges. These copper-colored gamefish with distinctive tail spots are known for their strong, determined fights when hooked. Redfish in the 20-35 inch range are common in these waters, with the 35-inch specimen caught on this charter representing a trophy class fish. Captain Kim specializes in sight-casting techniques during lower tides when redfish can be spotted tailing in shallow water. Live bait presentations with shrimp or mullet are particularly effective, though artificial lures like gold spoons and soft plastics also produce consistent results in the hands of experienced anglers.

The boat comfortably accommodates small groups, making this ideal for family outings or fishing with friends.
