Saltwater and Freshwater Fishing
While scores of seasonal residents 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 fascinated with the enormous Hilton Head Island fishing thing which delivers more options than the average fishing adventure. The island enjoys the finest of all universes, with fishing possibilities 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 captivating 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 fishing scene offers a great enough variety of fishing settings and options to satisfy any fishing devotee.
Just 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 area. There are numerous spots on the island where you can obtain them, including True Value and Wal-Mart.
The principle fishing localities 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 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 vast majority of the Hilton Head fishing thing, 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 choose to fish in an area set aside for swimming. There are also many charter fishing boats on the market 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 fans will head out to the Gulf Stream, about 70 miles from the island shore, for exceptional fishing and a superb round trip on the boat of their choice.
Hilton Head Island fishing provides a wide variety of fishing locales for spontaneous fishers and angling fans alike.
