What anglers said about fishing in Hilton Head Island

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.

Listen to your Captain. They not only know what’s running and biting they know how and where to fish. Be patient and remember it’s called fishing not catching. If your Captain works hard, is friendly and tries to help you, tip appropriately.

Intracoastal fishing can be just as much fun as off shoar fishing. I have done both. You actually get more fishing time doing intracoastal. Intracoastal fishing can provide some very good table fair fish.

We are beginners so I did not have high expectations. We had little knowledge of the area. Get a good guide or captain and they will share knowledge of the area with you.
