Hilton Head Fishing
While numerous vacationers come to Hilton Head each year to bathe in the sun or to take advantage of the island’s tennis and golf courses, many others may be attracted to the extensive Hilton Head fishing thing which offers more options than the average fishing excursion. The island enjoys the greatest of all worlds, with fishing options ranging from the deep ocean to estuaries, lagoons, and even freshwater lakes. The vast majority of the available fishing is saltwater, with options of fishing from the land or going out to sea for more mysterious deep sea fishing. You can also collect oysters, go crabbing, or try to fetch shrimp—provided you follow regulations and go to the right places. The Hilton Head fishing scene offers a significant enough variety of fishing settings and possibilities to satisfy any fishing fanatic.
Prior to going fishing on Hilton Head, the first thing you need if you’re over 16 is a South Carolina state fishing license. Without this, almost all fishing is illegal at any place. There are multiple spots on the island where you can obtain them, including True Value and Wal-Mart.
The most common fishing areas include the Calibogue Sound, estuaries, tidal lagoons, freshwater lagoons, brackish lagoons, and the Atlantic Ocean. There are also some manmade freshwater lakes, the majority of of them primarily holding rainwater as part of the island’s drainage system. Any lagoons or lakes located in the private gated plantation may be fished without a license if community policy allows it—check ahead of time to be positive. If the freshwater lagoon or lake is located outside of a private plantation, you must have a state license in order to fish it.
The bulk of the Hilton Head Island fishing scene, however, consists of the saltwater fishing. Those who prefer to fish onshore from a dock, pier, the beach, or the bank of an estuary may do so as long as they do not catch sharks (they must be released if caught) and do not elect to fish in an area set aside for swimming. There are also many charter fishing boats readily available from various Hilton Head Island fishing companies, some of which only go a short ways out and some of which spotlight shark fishing opportunities. Deep sea fishing enthusiasts will head out to the Gulf Stream, about 70 miles from the island shore, for superior fishing and a beautiful round trip on the boat of their choice.
Hilton Head fishing provides a wide range of of fishing locales for spontaneous fishers and angling lovers alike.
