When February arrives on Hilton Head Island, the beaches might be quieter, but the inshore waters are buzzing with activity—especially for those chasing speckled trout. These prized game fish remain a staple of Lowcountry fishing, and during winter, they become more predictable and accessible for anglers who know where.
When February arrives in Hilton Head Island, so do the heavy hitters. Among the top inshore targets this month are big black drum—massive, bottom-feeding fish that provide powerful runs, challenging fights, and unforgettable memories. While they may not get as much spotlight as redfish or trout, black drum are.
In the quiet, cool waters of Hilton Head Island during February, one particular species takes center stage among inshore anglers: the sheepshead. Known for their signature black-and-white stripes and sneaky bite, these crustacean-crunching fighters are a wintertime favorite for both seasoned fishermen and eager beginners.
