What a great day out on the water with James and the crew! We had a fun 2-hour fishing trip with I Love Fishing Charters, exploring the scenic creeks and backcountry around C.C. Haigh, Jr. Boat Landing. The weather was perfect, with clear conditions throughout the day. We started by targeting Sheepshead and Red Fish using a mix of light tackle, jigging, and trolling techniques. The fish were really active, and it didn't take long before we had the first rod bending. James fought hard and landed a nice Sheepshead, flashing its distinctive stripes as we brought it in. From there, the action just kept getting better—we were hooking into Reds left and right, with the guys reeling in one after another. It was nonstop excitement! By the time our trip was winding down, we had a great mix of fish in the cooler and plenty of stories to share. Even though we didn't set any records, the time we spent on the water was just perfect. April is a prime time for inshore fishing around Hilton Head, with the warming waters drawing the fish into the creeks and channels. We took full advantage of that, exploring the area and finding the right spots to target our quarry. If you're looking for an unforgettable way to experience the best inshore fishing Hilton Head has to offer, be sure to check out the 2-hour fishing trip with I Love Fishing Charters. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, our expert guides will make sure you have a blast chasing species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, and more. All equipment is provided, so all you have to do is bring your enthusiasm and get ready for an action-packed day on the water. Trust me, this is a trip you won't want to miss!

I fished with Captain Sangyun and landed 35 Redfish between 18 -24 inches. His guide experience put us on fish the whole day in the low country marshes! What an amazing adventure on a comfortable boat! Well done my friend!!! Larry Pytilk

He’s thoughtful, kind, and highly professional, with a deep knowledge of where the fish are and how to track them when they move.

A Captain Who Cares! Captain Kim truly puts his customers first. He goes the extra mile, moving to different spots to find the best fishing opportunities, and his excitement when we catch fish is contagious! Even when our time is up, he still takes the time to ensure we have a great experience. It’s clear he gives his all to make every trip special. With his deep knowledge of the Hilton Head waters and years of fishing experience, Captain Kim’s passion for fishing shines through. I highly recommend booking a trip with him!
