Reel in the Lowcountry's Best: Hilton Head Inshore

Ready to get your line wet in some of South Carolina's most productive inshore waters? Our private half-day charter out of Hilton Head is your ticket to non-stop action, whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod. We'll cruise the local honey holes, from the May River's oyster beds to hidden creek mouths, putting you on fish that'll make your drag sing. With a max of four guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one time with your guide to dial in your technique and learn the local secrets.

What's Biting Today?

Hilton Head's inshore waters are like a buffet for game fish. One minute you might be sight-casting to tailing redfish in the grass, the next you're battling a bruiser cobia that just couldn't resist your live bait. We target a mixed bag including speckled trout, flounder, tarpon, and even sharks. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – you never know what's gonna grab your line next. Our trips are all about getting you into fish, lots of 'em, and having a blast doing it.

Rigged and Ready

Leave the gear worries at home – we've got you covered from rod to reel. We use top-notch equipment that's perfect for our local species and fishing styles. Expect to do some light tackle work, maybe toss a few artificial lures, or soak some live bait depending on what's hot. Your guide will show you the ropes if you're new to this, or swap tactics if you're looking to try something different. And hey, if you hook into something you want for dinner, we're all about keeping a responsible harvest. Anything else goes right back to keep our fishery healthy for years to come.

Raves from the Boat

"Allick was the best guide you could ask for! He asked what we wanted to catch, put us at the spot and baited the lines. Within 20 minutes we had a 10' lemon shark ripping the line.... Best father/son time of my life!" - Nick

"Book now and get ready for a good time! Captain Allick was so knowledgeable and made sure everyone had fun. He was so family friendly- our little guy even caught fish, and he's only two! We caught several different species. We'll be back!" - Christine

"Chartered yesterday with Allick and we were blown away! He was excellent from start to finish. He took us to several different spots for different species of fish. We caught tons of fish. He taught us a lot about the local environment and had tons of information on all the different wildlife and local area. We will 100% be back with Allick in the future!" - Pete

Fish on the Radar

Redfish: The crown jewel of Lowcountry inshore fishing. These copper-colored brutes love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with their distinctive tailing behavior. In the fall, big schools of bull reds move into the area, offering a shot at trophy-sized fish. Redfish put up a stubborn fight and are a blast on light tackle.

Cobia: Known locally as "lemonfish," these powerful swimmers show up in late spring and stick around through summer. They can grow over 100 pounds, making them a prized catch for anglers looking for a real battle. Cobia are curious fish and will often swim right up to the boat, giving you a chance for some exciting sight fishing.

Speckled Trout: These spotted beauties are a year-round target, but the fishing really heats up in the fall. They're known for their delicate bite and tendency to throw hooks, making them a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. Early mornings around oyster beds or grass lines are prime time for specks.

Southern Flounder: Masters of camouflage, flounder like to ambush their prey from the bottom. We target them around structure and drop-offs, often using live bait or soft plastics. The biggest flatties show up in the fall as they prepare to move offshore for the winter. They're not just fun to catch – they're also excellent table fare.

Tarpon: The "silver king" makes an appearance in our waters during the hot summer months. These acrobatic fish are known for their spectacular leaps and long, dogged fights. Landing a tarpon is a true feat, and even hooking one will give you a fishing story to tell for years.
