Lowcountry Winter Bite: Redfish, Black D
Lowcountry Winter Bite: Redfish, Black D
Fév 19, 2026 Hilton Head Island
Fishing around Hilton Head has been steady and productive for late winter patterns. Water temps are still on the cooler side, but we’re seeing consistent action from redfish, black drum, and sheepshead throughout the tides. Redfish are schooled up and feeding well on lower tides. We’re finding them stacked in deeper holes in the creeks and along mud flats that warm up during the afternoon sun. On higher water, they’re pushing onto flooded grass edges and oyster points. Sheepshead fishing has been strong around docks, pilings, and oyster clusters. These fish are feeding aggressively as they stage around structure. As water temps slowly begin to climb, the bite should continue to improve. Expect redfish schools to stay grouped up for a bit longer before spreading out as we transition toward spring patterns. If you’re planning a trip soon, now is a great time to get on the water. Plenty of action and less boat traffic this time of year.

Bull Red Blitz
Bull Red Blitz
sept 13, 2025 Hilton Head Island
Bull Red Blitz: The Lowcountry Ignites As autumn settles over the South Carolina Lowcountry, so does one of the most electrifying inshore migrations of the year—the arrival of bull red drum in full force. Right now, the bite is blazing, with anglers encountering oversized reds measuring up to and beyond 45 inches. These heavyweight bruisers are staging in classic fall patterns—stacking up near inlets, sandbars, creek mouths, and deeper channel edges. Feeding aggressively ahead of their offshore spawn, they’re inhaling fresh cut bait with reckless abandon, offering anglers an unforgettable fight and a true test of gear. “This is the time of year we wait for,” says one seasoned local guide. “The bulls are fired up and ready to eat—cut mullet, menhaden, blue crab—it doesn’t matter if you find the right water.” Most hookups are coming on heavy Carolina rigs rigged with circle hooks and stout tackle to muscle these fish in strong current. Anglers are encouraged to practice responsible catch and release—minimizing time out of the water, supporting fish properly, and avoiding over-handling to protect this vital breeding stock. With perfect conditions lining up—cooler temps, moving tides, and active baitfish—the Lowcountry’s bull redfish season is peaking. For anglers chasing their next big pull, the window is wide open.

Inshore bite is on fire!!!
Fév 18, 2025 Hilton Head Island
The sheepshead are still hanging inshore prior to leaving for the nearshore reefs to spawn. Mainly catching them on fiddlers crabs. The red drum sre still showing up in nice numbers. This will start to slow down as we get further into march and april. Sheepshead are some of the tastiest fish in the sea so if youre looking for meat, lets get on em!

Sheepshead Fishing Report
Sheepshead Fishing Report
janvier 25, 2025 Hilton Head Island
The Sheepshead bite is starting to fire off recently! Fish are moving from the inshore waters to their offshore spawning areas. Many sheepshead to catch inshore still, mainly around docks and bridge pilings. In the next week or two we will start seeing large numbers on the near shore wrecks. If youve love a good fighting fish and an even bette tasting one, book a sheepshead trip and lets go fishing!

Early Spring Inshore Action!!
Early Spring Inshore Action!!
Fév 28, 2024 Hilton Head Island
Lately we have been forced to fish in the creeks due to high winds. However that doesn’t mean were off the fish! Weve been seeing steady nunbers of red drum and sheepshead coming from the creeks around structure. The red drum are starting to go into their spring phases and break up from the massive winter time schols they were previously in. Sheepshead are starting to make their way out to the local reefs and wrecks as well.
