Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) thrive in the Hilton Head area, particularly around oyster bars, grass flats, and tidal creeks. These copper-colored fighters are known for their distinctive black spot near the tail and can be caught using a variety of techniques. Live bait such as shrimp or mullet works exceptionally well, while artificial lures like gold spoons and soft plastics also produce results when worked along bottom structure. Fall and winter months often bring the best Redfish action as they school up in larger numbers. The average catch ranges from 20-30 inches, but trophy-sized bull reds exceeding 40 inches are possible, especially during their seasonal runs.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Prepare for your day on the water by wearing weather-appropriate clothing, non-marking shoes, and bringing sun protection. Captain Kim provides quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait, along with ice for your catch. The boat comfortably accommodates small groups while allowing enough space for effective fishing. Most charters depart early morning when fishing is typically most productive, but afternoon trips are also available. Remember to bring a camera to document your catches, as many anglers practice catch-and-release with these prized gamefish. A small cooler for personal beverages is welcome, and the captain can recommend options for preserving your catch if you plan to keep fish for the table.
