About Your Trip
Step aboard with Captain Jackson and get ready to experience the wild beauty of Hilton Head Island’s inshore waters like never before! As a lifelong resident and passionate seafarer, Captain Jackson brings deep local knowledge and an easygoing, expert approach to every trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, this adventure is all about enjoying the moment, learning the local waters, and reeling in some of the Lowcountry’s most sought-after species.
Your trip takes place aboard a well-equipped 26’ Grady White, powered by twin engines for a smooth, stable ride through Hilton Head’s incredible backcountry. This estuarine network of winding tidal creeks, marshes, and shallow flats is teeming with life—and it's one of the best spots in the Southeast for light tackle fishing. These calm, protected waters make for a perfect day on the rod, whether you're casting solo, bringing the family, or just looking to relax and reel in something worth bragging about.
Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll be targeting a variety of inshore favorites like Redfish, Speckled Sea Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder. Using light tackle setups, you'll get the thrill of the fight without the need for heavy gear, making every hookup a hands-on, heart-pounding experience. Captain Jackson will tailor the trip to your experience level and interests, and he's happy to share tips and stories from a lifetime spent navigating these waters.
Trips are offered in flexible durations, so whether you’re looking for a quick morning getaway or a half-day of serious casting, there’s a trip to match your schedule. Everything you need—rods, reels, tackle, bait, and licenses—is provided, so just bring your favorite snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, and a sense of adventure.
With its peaceful setting, abundant wildlife, and incredible inshore action, this Hilton Head light tackle trip offers the perfect way to connect with nature, catch some fish, and experience the Lowcountry through the eyes of a true local. Captain Jackson is excited to welcome you aboard!
