Spend the day with Gone Fishing Charters and see what’s biting in Hilton Head Island! With over 10 years of experice fishing on Hilton Head, we offer a fishing trip that you and the family will be talking about for a life time!
Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Trout, Blacktip Shark, Cobia, Black Seabass, Ladyfish, Hammerhead Shark, Spanish Mackerel, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Craig runs a 26’ Glacier Bay Catamaran that holds up to 6 passengers. It is spacious with plenty of storage for bags and room for a cooler if you wish to bring one. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be water and ice included. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, and please no glass bottles.

Gone Fishing Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Hilton Head Island. So, how about booking that trip?

4 Hour Afternoon on June 26, 2025

We stared out targeting edible species and quickly got on to some Spanish Mackerel which were delicious. After catching enough for dinner, we decided to change targets for sport fish. After only a half hour of quiet Craig was able to find a school of Crevalle Jack, of which we were able to hook and catch 3. With 21 Mackerel and 3 Jack in 4 hours, it was a super effective and exciting trip. Craig explained the equipment well and all 6 of us were working and catching fish very quickly. Craig clearly knew the area and local species well in order to locate fish very effectively.

5 Hour Morning on May 21, 2025

Caption Craig is fantastic at locating fish. Even though the conditions were not ideal he put us on some Spanish Mackerel right away and we caught a bunch. Waves continued to get bigger so we went inland and caught a lot of Shark. Right at the end we needed up catching a Spinner Shark that was 56” and had a lot of fight in it. It took about 6 minutes to reel it into the boat. Caption Craig cut up the Mackerel catch in filets and Shark into steaks. We had a feast that night. Fantastic time on the trip!

Captain Craig was great with our group. Very patient and giving tips/help along the way. We had so much fun catching different species of fish and sharks….especially landing that 5 footer right before we were about to head back. Next time we are back in HHI, will definitely book another trip with Captain Craig.

8hr Offshore on June 17, 2025

Very good trip with family. Fishing was steady we had two grandkids 12 and 10 neither was experienced, captain taught and showed them what to do and within a fish or two they were unstoppable. Son and wife were able to fight and land some good size fish. We all went home having a great time and some good dinners to come.

Captain Craig was upfront about what the plan was and getting us on the fish. Didn't waste time with a spot that wasn't producing. Moved to another spot he knew well and they started flying in the boat!! Hammer heads, sharp nose shark, bonnet head, even an eel! Then, the double up on my bucket list fish, Bull Reds!! Great experience, Craig was also great with our kids too! Can't wait to come back to HHI and only book with Captain Craig! Thank you for the memories!
