Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish (also called Red Drum) thrive in the diverse estuarine ecosystem surrounding Hilton Head Island. These copper-colored predators feed aggressively around oyster beds, grass flats, and channel edges during incoming and outgoing tides. Captain Kim targets them using both artificial lures and live bait depending on conditions and time of year. Fall through spring offers excellent opportunities as Redfish school up in larger numbers in the backwaters. The 28-inch specimen pictured represents a quality catch for the area, though fish ranging from 18-30+ inches are possible throughout the year.
