The most common fishing techniques in Hilton Head are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but bottom fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Hilton Head Island black drum fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    10/10 if we could put him up there , went out for a bachelor party and had a great time with Carlo. We had to cut the day short for some people and take them back to the dock but Carlo offer to take the rest of us back out for a couple more hours after. Definitely be using him every time we go out, not to mention we caught some of the biggest drum and sheep head inshore we’ve seen.

    I went on a 6 hour inshore/shark fishing trip with my 16 year old son and we both had a blast! We've done a lot of offshore fishing before but never inshore. Our boat Captain Walker knew exactly where to find the fish and was an all around just a great guy. We're considering booking another short shark fishing trip before we leave. Can't recommend these guys enough! We drive down here often to visit family and we're using Matt and Walker from now on. Highly recommend!

    Dustin gave me a fabulous day on the water. I learned more about fishing today than I had ever learned before. He was incredibly helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and gave me hints about fishing in Charleston that were spot on. When Dustin told me where to cast, and how to fish based on the cast, he was right in all occasions. He went out of his way to make my trip something to remember forever
