Kiawah Island’s coastal waters are home to an exciting variety of fish species, making it a prime destination for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned pro, here are the top 5 fish you can target on a Kiawah Island fishing trip.

Redfish

Best Time to Catch: Year-round (Peak in Fall and Winter)

Redfish fishing in Kiawah Island is a must-try experience. These powerful fish are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, making them a favorite among anglers. Target them with live bait or artificial lures, especially around oyster beds and tidal creeks for the best results.

Speckled Trout

Best Time to Catch: Fall and Winter

Speckled trout fishing in Kiawah Island is popular during cooler months when these fish gather in inshore waters. Look for trout near grassy shorelines, docks, and creek mouths. Using soft plastic lures or live shrimp is an effective way to entice these fish.

Flounder

Best Time to Catch: Spring through Fall

Flounder are commonly found along sandy bottoms, near docks, and around inshore channels. These ambush predators are known for their flat bodies and excellent camouflage. Drift fishing with live minnows or using jig heads with soft plastics are top methods for catching flounder on a Kiawah Island fishing trip.

Black Drum

Best Time to Catch: Year-round (Best in Spring and Fall)

Black drum are often found near oyster beds, pilings, and deeper channels. They respond well to cut bait, shrimp, or crab. Known for their distinctive "drumming" sound, these fish put up a great fight and are a rewarding catch for anglers.

Sheepshead

Best Time to Catch: Winter and Spring

Sheepshead are notorious for their sharp teeth and tricky bites. Found around docks, piers, and rocky structures, they’re best caught using fiddler crabs or barnacles as bait. Patience and precision are key when targeting this clever species.


Whether you're after a trophy Redfish, aiming for a delicious Speckled Trout, or testing your skills with a cunning Sheepshead, Kiawah Island fishing trips offer incredible opportunities to reel in unforgettable catches. Book your adventure today and explore the rich waters of Kiawah Island with confidence!
