Fly Fishing

The most sought after species for fly anglers in the lowcountry is the red drum or redfish. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish, jacks, and on occasion, cobia are taken on the fly. Most of Outside Hilton Head's fly fishing trips are limited to two anglers.

As water temperatures drop, huge schools of redfish group and get "staked up" in the clear waters of the Lowcountry mud flats. Redfish weighing from 10-20 pounds can be found hundreds at a time eager for a properly placed fly. Are you up to it?

In the Spring, the curious fish Cobia can be found in numerous areas around the Lowcountry while they are swimming just below the water's surface. Female Cobia reach beyond 70 pounds, but will probably average 20-30 pounds. (considered a decent catch for almost any fisherman). Catch them while they are hunting for their prey.

The Summer time will consist bluefish, jack cravelle, ladyfish and Spanish Mackerel. Bonita can also be targeted mile offshore.

Shark Fishing

The inshore shark fishing starting in April and continuing through September is nothing short of spectacular. The sharks are more than abundant which provides the light tackle fisherman with fast action and tired forearms.

Freshwater Fishing

More coming soon.
