Local Species Insights: Redfish
Hilton Head Island's extensive marsh system creates the perfect habitat for redfish, which thrive in these protected waters. These fish can be found year-round but tend to school up in larger numbers during fall and winter months. In summer, they often move to deeper channels during midday heat but feed actively in shallow water during morning and evening.
Successful redfish tactics include fishing live bait around structure, particularly during moving tides when redfish actively feed. Artificial lures like soft plastics and gold spoons are also effective when worked along grass edges and oyster bars. Captain Kim's knowledge of local redfish patterns ensures you'll be in the right place at the right time to maximize your chances for a memorable catch like this 30-inch beauty.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Captain Kim, plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, non-marking shoes, and don't forget sun protection—hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential on the water. The captain provides all necessary fishing gear, but you may want to bring a camera to document your catch, water, and snacks.
Most charters accommodate 2-4 anglers comfortably, making this perfect for small groups or families. Morning trips typically start around sunrise when fish are most active, but Captain Kim offers flexible scheduling options. Whether you're planning a dedicated fishing trip or looking to add a half-day charter to your Hilton Head vacation, booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak season.
