Fishing in the bay is a lot more fun than in the creeks and rivers if you have a large group

We were first time fishers and it ended up great for us so hopefully it would be the same for anybody coming out for their first time.

The water was a little cold today, but we had a blast. It was a great time to take kids fishing. Everything was a little small but that’s OK. We love to throw back after we take a picture.

make sure you use sunscreen ahead of time. Captain Rodney provided bug spray for some small biting bugs - otherwise April in Hilton Head is heavenly.

Due to the cool nights the water temps have not risen to start the fishing season for 2025. With that stated, David put us in a place to bend the pole.

The sharks were not biting because the water was still too cold. We adjusted the trip to fish for other fish.

I don't get the opportunity to fish salt water very often and know very little about it but this was a spur of the moment trip. Locals told me March isn’t necessarily the best time of the year to go but it can have its good days. I will definitely be going back to Hilton head to fish but will be going back in the summer/fall when the fishing is a little better. Still had a great time and caught fish.

Book a crab trip and a shrimp trawling trip. Use the bait species you catch and then surf fish or pier fish with the bait. This is so much fun for our 8-12 year old boys. Then consider setting your own crab traps the next day! Enjoy

Be flexible with your days and the type of fishing if you can. The winds are very strong this time of year and you may be limited to fishing inshore in the bays and creeks. Days will get blown out as well. Be flexible. I would also recommend having good clothing for the weather. Layers are appropriate this time of year and especially wind protection.

The intracoastal is an excellent experience first or many times. The current between the islands and the headwaters of the Atlantic brings you a very good fishing oppty. The water depth is close to 30-40’ so plenty of species. Its also calmer than offshore ocean generally so less likely for queezy feeling and there is plenty of breeze.
