The fish Hilton Head anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Hilton Head sits in the heart of the Lowcountry sounds, where huge tidal swings push bait through Calibogue and Port Royal Sounds and keep redfish, trout and flounder feeding in the creeks. The Broad River is a renowned spring cobia fishery — sight-casting and anchoring up for big migratory fish is a Lowcountry tradition. By high summer, tarpon roll along the beaches and sound mouths, giving fly and bait anglers a genuine big-game shot close to home.
