The Lure of Hilton Head Island Fishing
While a great deal 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 passionate about the thorough Hilton Head Island fishing scene which offers more options than the average fishing trip. The island enjoys the most superior of all worlds, with fishing opportunities 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 Island fishing scene offers a great enough variety of fishing venues and options to satisfy any fishing addict.
Before 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 location. There are several spots on the island where you can obtain them, including True Value and Wal-Mart.
The primary 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 community may be fished without a license if community policy allows it—check ahead of time to be sure. 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 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 intend to fish in an area set aside for swimming. There are also many charter fishing boats readily available from various Hilton Head fishing companies, some of which only go a short ways out and some of which emphasize shark fishing opportunities. Deep sea fishing lovers will head out to the Gulf Stream, about 70 miles from the island shore, for exceptional fishing and a fabulous round trip on the boat of their choice.
Hilton Head Island fishing delivers a wide selection of fishing locales for casual fishers and angling enthusiasts alike.
