Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also known as Red Drum) are the signature catch of Hilton Head's inshore waters. These copper-colored fish with their distinctive tail spot thrive in the diverse ecosystem of tidal creeks, oyster beds, and grass flats surrounding the island. Captain Kim specializes in locating these prized game fish, which typically range from 16-20 inches in the backwaters, though trophy-sized specimens exceeding 30 inches are not uncommon. The best techniques for targeting redfish include sight casting with light tackle when conditions are clear, or using live bait such as shrimp or mullet around structure during changing tides. Fall months bring particularly exciting redfish action as the fish school up in preparation for winter.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When preparing for your fishing charter with Captain Kim, dress in layers and bring sun protection including hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Morning departures typically begin around sunrise when fish are most active, though afternoon trips can be productive as well, especially around tide changes. The charter vessel is well-equipped for inshore fishing, providing a stable platform with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable day on the water. A small cooler for personal beverages and snacks is recommended, and you'll want to bring a camera to document your catches. Captain Kim practices responsible catch-and-release for most species but can clean and fillet your legal-sized keeper fish if you wish to enjoy your catch for dinner.
