Redfish on the mud flats

Oct 21, 2025 Hilton Head Island

The redfish are schooling up and chasing bait on to the mid flats on the falling tide. Leaving these areas teaming with fish at low tide in 1-2 feet of water. It has been a blast chasing these awesome fish. Best time of year for sure.

The fishing was awesome, we began by hunting some redfish and I got an awesome bite to begin our trip. The tide was acting funky for a few days after the full moon so there weren’t heaps of redfish feeding, but where there were we got some action. Wether you’re an experienced fisherman or just a beginner, Joe is willing to help with a great attitude

Joe and Chevy were great hosts. Steering the kayak was easy to learn and a great way to fish with a little bit of solitude. Joe was right there with help, tips, and bait when you needed and or wanted it. We had a good bite and caught redfish, bluefish and flounder on our trip. This was just a great experience and you could fish some areas that were not accessible by boat. What a great way to spend a morning!

My son had a great experience with Joe. The kayaks were decked out, safe and easy to use. Joe provided the poles and bait and drinks, too. My son said that Joe was very knowledgeable of the local fish and waters. Current was a bit strong the day they fished so that was a challenge.
