fishing Hilton Head Island on foot

It was a trip I have been wanting to film for a while and today we made it happen. Special thanks to Andrew and Tuck for showing me their little honey holes. This is Hilton Head Island, SC fishing at its finest. No boat required, just a rod, reel and a bucket of shrimp.

I love the fact that that black drum was caught next to a no fishing sighn

WOW ! That was an awesome land episode! Thanks again Dan!

Thx Capt.

Awesome.

Good times Dan! Hope we get a chance to get after it again soon!

Awesome video, Dan.

Thx Jay

[@rpickerell]

My son and I had our inshore fishing charter last week in HHI. We only went on a 3 hour trip, didn't land any Redfish. The Bonnethead Sharks kept us busy though and were lots of fun to reel in!

[@LowCountryFishing]

Thats great. Those sharks are thick in the summer. Thanks for the support.

Awesome time Dan let’s do it again soon

Yes sir

I literally fished the same spot last august on that jetty. stayed in the house in the back ground

[@kadekolpien3300]

What part of the island was that creek spot?

[@mdzimmy1]

I am coming to hilton head in 3 weeks. We fish Port Aransas a lot for the same fish you are catching in this video but usually use live and frozen shrimp. will that work in Hilton head? or do i need to bring plastics? thanks for your help.

[@LowCountryFishing]

Fish both

[@davegoode7769]

Caught a 30lb black drum in Palmetto Dunes on crab about 6 years ago. There are huge trout and reds swimming around in there.

[@LowCountryFishing]

It’s crazy how big those drum get in there.

@@LowCountryFishing I'm staying in Palmetto Dunes as I write this. I'm watching videos to see what people are catching and fishing with on Hilton Head. What would you recommend?

[@LowCountryFishing]

@@bmoutdoors4831 live or dead shrimp is great in those lagoons. Fish them early. The fish are active up until around 9am then they move deep and shut down

I’m going over to sea pine time and where are some spots in sea pine on the bank

[@LSMTT00]

What were you using as bait in the second spot. Also what do you recommend using for palmetto dunes lagoon cause I can only catch pinfish? I was using frozen mullet. Also are you allowed to fish the Robert Trent golf course ponds?

[@LowCountryFishing]

Dead/live shrimp. Your allowed to fish until they ask you to leave. 😆 not really sure

[@LSMTT00]

Ok awesome I was planning on using that bait. Lol Yeah im planning on going on the golf course when it opens up to the bikers. Thanks

[@Lucas_raber]

You got any advice for fishing in Hilton head this time of year? I’m going to be down for about a week, and was hoping to get on a few decent ones!

[@mikeferretti7422]

What / where did you end up doing?

[@GAFisherman]

First spot clearly marked "NO FISHING." Yes, that'll work

[@LowCountryFishing]

😂

[@6atlantis]

My sister moved to Beaufort two years ago and I’ve been coming down for a week every six months. More specifically she lives on pigeon point, i’ve caught a few fish there and some bigger fish when I got to go out on the neighbors boat. I contacted Beaufort sc fishing about fishing together but he was only interested his kayak charters. I’m interested in learning more about Hilton head, hunting island, anywhere I can beat the bank etc.. Do you or any of your friends offer her a guide service for us non-boat guys? I am from Boston and I love to fish, I’ve got things semidialed in down there but could use some help with a few things.

[@FlashyPinkNails]

Hello, what are some good fishing spots in Savannah on foot?

[@LowCountryFishing]

I have a trip in the works for that exact thing.

[@gcritchleymusic]

would you eat anything that you catch at the inland ponds? I've heard conflicting reports. The Tidal creeks of course are fine, but the Mangrove Snapper spot?

[@Namllitcr1238]

No. I live in the Landings of Skidaway Island and non residents come in and keep the fish. I know those ponds are similar systems. People doing this in our community have ruined the lagoons. Depleted the redfish black drum and trout. All because they let them. Those ponds arent salty enough to be sustainable either just like ours. The tides don't replinish stock. It takes years.

[@LowCountryFishing]

I agree with Tillman. It just fun to catch and release. Not to mention the potential worms and parasites those fish could be carrying due to the lack of current flow.

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

Saltwater pond? Nice drum. Huge

[@LowCountryFishing]

Yeah salt. It’s a spillover pond from the marsh.

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

@@LowCountryFishing Nice. Loaded with good eats and great catches. 🇺🇸✌🏼🎣

@@LowCountryFishing I’m surprised y’all weren’t harassed by neighborhood Karen’s. lol

Hey were is this pond located on the island

[@mattbloch8187]

What part of the island was that on? Or community. Never seen that pond before. I know where that jetties is.

[@mattbloch8187]

@Tom Youngest I have park at South Beach marina and walked across the street and then turned right and jetties are up a little bit. Or there is one more condo complex on right. They say they can tow, but I have parked there and walked across street. That will save a few hundred yards.

[@RyattFishing1111]

What are you fishing with

[@whalerlife53]

Nice catch in the No Fishing Zone 😂

[@LowCountryFishing]

😜

[@jeanlong4285]

Awesome fishing Hilton Head. Is there an entrance for non resident? I've wanted to fish there but couldn't find the way in.

[@LowCountryFishing]

That first lake is private and you will get ran off if you don’t live back there. Most lakes back there are like that.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I ran into this same issue! The security is super tight in those ponds.. Palmetto Dunes Lagoon is a solid spot though man!

[@nategroovy6267]

@@LowCountryFishing I have friends that live in pd where is this spot located in there?

[@rkcfish204]

Nice job. I predominantly fly fish. We come down to HH a fair amount since we retired. That salt marsh looks ideal for fly fishing. Can you share where that is? Pinckney reserve?

[@mikehenderson7170]

Man if you love to fish! No boat, No problem. Nothing like a gator to try to screw the day up. Nice Video Dan.

[@LowCountryFishing]

Thanks Mike

[@user-no9qb6lj7c]

That’s a big fish for 10lb braid, is that why you typically use around this type of area ? I’m debating coming down for the extra casting distance

[@LowCountryFishing]

Yep 10 is plenty. Loosen the drag a touch and enjoy long bomb casts.

[@user-no9qb6lj7c]

@@LowCountryFishing do you come up around structure or stick with it ?

[@LowCountryFishing]

@@user-no9qb6lj7c rephrase that question?

Lol I apologize, I meant do you use 10lb braid while fishing structure or do you bump up a bit

[@LowCountryFishing]

@@user-no9qb6lj7c not usually. 10lb for everything unless I’m sheepshead fishing, then I bump up to 20lb.

[@roywilliams9089]

I'm looking to vacation with my wife daughter and granddaughter in early November. Please lemme know a good place to stay with fishing like this.

[@Downtown.TonyBrown]

there's good fishing all across the island, the best places to stay though range from palmetto dunes area to the south end of the island, you also picked a good time of the year to come down, off season starts late fall and ends early spring.

[@ericschmidt3938]

Where is that jetty located?

[@LowCountryFishing]

South side of the island.

[@sog4646]

I'm on the island now and haven't found an access point yet. 😬

Yea where are you? What neighborhood? What plantation

[@rudyzooti7159]

The first part is right by my moms house I’ve never seen anyone fishing there
