Island Fishing
While scores of people 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 considerable Hilton Head Island fishing thing which presents more options than the average fishing trip. The island enjoys the most excellent of all worlds, with fishing platforms 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 catch shrimp—provided you follow regulations and go to the right places. The Hilton Head Island fishing scene offers a large enough variety of fishing activities and opportunities to satisfy any fishing aficionado.
Before going fishing on Hilton Head Island, 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 location. There are numerous locations on the island where you can obtain them, including True Value and Wal-Mart.
The principle fishing spots include the Calibogue Sound, estuaries, tidal lagoons, freshwater lagoons, brackish lagoons, and the Atlantic Ocean. There are also some manmade freshwater lakes, many of them primarily holding rainwater as part of the island’s drainage system. Any lagoons or lakes located in the private gated neighborhood may be fished without a license if community policy allows it—check ahead of time to be certain. If the freshwater lagoon or lake is located outside of a private neighborhood, you must have a state license in order to fish it.
The majority of the Hilton Head fishing scene, however, consists of the saltwater fishing. Those who desire 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 consider to fish in an area set aside for swimming. There are also many charter fishing boats offered from various Hilton Head fishing companies, some of which only go a short ways out and some of which give emphasis to shark fishing opportunities. Deep sea fishing fans will head out to the Gulf Stream, about 70 miles from the island shore, for excellent fishing and a magnificent round trip on the boat of their choice.
Hilton Head fishing provides a wide variety of fishing locales for spontaneous fishers and angling fanatics alike.
