One of the things we love most about fishing around Hilton Head is that every three or four months, the game changes. Throughout the year, we target different fish species, use different types of gear, and adjust our fishing methods based on the season, tides, water temperature, and what is biting best at the time.
Depending on the time of year and the type of Hilton Head fishing charter you choose, you may have the opportunity to target species such as redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, cobia, sharks, tarpon, and other seasonal fish found in the waters around Hilton Head Island. To learn which species may be best during your visit, call Hilton Head Fishing Charters at 843-806-2424 or submit an inquiry through our Contact Us page.
The main difference between inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing charters around Hilton Head comes down to where we fish, how far we run, and what species we are targeting. Inshore fishing typically takes place in the protected sounds, rivers, marshes, and tidal creeks around Hilton Head Island. These fishing charters usually stay closer to land and are a great option for families, beginners, and anglers who want a calmer, more comfortable fishing experience.
Nearshore fishing generally takes place in the ocean within about three miles of the beach, while offshore fishing usually means running beyond three miles into deeper Atlantic waters. Offshore fishing charters often involve longer boat rides and different fishing opportunities than inshore or nearshore fishing charters. Shark fishing charters can take place in different areas depending on the season, tides, weather, and where the best action is happening.
The best charter for your group depends on your experience level, comfort on the water, target species, and the time of year.
