Looking for a fun, active way to enjoy the outdoors with your family this spring? Look no further than a Hilton Head fishing charter in March. With warming waters, abundant fish, and calm inshore conditions, this time of year is ideal for anglers of all ages and experience levels.
Our inshore fishing charters offer a safe, enjoyable, and educational way for families to connect with nature and each other. Whether you’re introducing your kids to their first fish or planning a spring break adventure on the water, March provides the perfect setting in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Why March Is a Great Time for Family Fishing
March marks the start of spring activity in the Lowcountry’s waterways. Water temperatures begin to rise, the days get longer, and fish begin moving into the creeks and estuaries to feed.
Key Benefits of March Fishing for Families:
Mild weather makes it comfortable for children and adults alike.
Less crowded waters offer peaceful, relaxed trips before peak season.
Abundant inshore species mean lots of action for kids and beginners.
Shorter travel times in calm, protected waters reduce seasickness risks.
What You Can Catch on a March Inshore Charter
One of the biggest advantages of inshore fishing in Hilton Head is the variety of species available within minutes of the dock. Your family can expect plenty of action with exciting, hard-fighting fish.
Redfish (Red Drum)
A Lowcountry favorite, redfish are abundant in the spring. They’re strong, beautiful, and fun to catch, making them a hit with all ages.
Why Kids Love Them: Redfish fight hard but are manageable on light tackle, offering a rewarding experience for young anglers.
Speckled Sea Trout
Trout are aggressive feeders and often hit hard. They're usually found around grass lines, creek mouths, and deeper channels.
Tip for Beginners: A live shrimp under a popping cork is a surefire way to get bites.
Black Drum
Known for their tough fight and tasty fillets, black drum are a springtime staple. They’re often found near dock pilings and oyster beds.
Family Bonus: These fish are fun to reel in and often travel in schools, which means multiple hookups!
Sheepshead
With their striped appearance and sneaky bite, sheepshead are a fun challenge for those looking to refine their technique. They're typically found around structure and are great targets for older kids and teens.
