Hilton Head Island Fishing  - Off The Hook Fishing Charters
7/31/11 Pic Of The Month!
The Halloran family just emailed me this pic from last weeks trip when we had a excellent day of
redfishing early in the morning. It was one of my best redfish trips of the month catching good numbers
of keeper fish. Most of the fish I have been catching this summer have been well over the slot and thats not a 
bad thing when they are to big to keep.  It's nice to know that those over the slot fish will be there for my
 next clients to catch again someday.  These fish pictured were the  perfect keepers though!

Pictured above is Birthday boy Andy Kloss with one of many nice spanish we caught this morning. The 
weather was hot and steamy but the action was excellent for spanish, sharks and bluefish on the light tackle.
The Kloss family fished with me last year and we had a great trip catching some nice redfish and this year
I wanted to add a few new species to their list and we did just that.  Turned out to be a great trip!

Spanish mackerel have been a blast to catch on the light spinning rods the last few days. The
spanish have been hitting live baits right behind boat at 20 MPH for everyone to see! Sharks
are also been hitting really well up top and down deep and keeping my clients busy while we
wait for a spanish mack to attack. Looking forward to the next few days trying for some tarpon.

Turned out to be a pretty nasty day out there with rain, wind and overcast conditions not exactly the best 
case scenario for fly fishing but that didn't stop us from trying. Pictured above my client Hayley Davis fished 
the sporting way with the fly rod and was rewarded with a with a few nice spanish mackerel. Not bad
 considering the conditions! She also caught a few nice sharks on light spinning gear as well as my other 
clients on my next trip that ranged from 5-15lbs.

The inshore action has been Off The Hook the last few days and there has been some serious
Family fun catching several species of fish on my last few trips. The majority of the action has
been the sharks as they will usually out number anything else that swims during this time of
the year. The spanish mackerel have moved back on the sandbars and have been the best bet
for getting some tasty morsels. I had a nice bag of fish to take home today. Yum! Fish Tacos!

Turned out to be a beautiful morning just a little steamy out there. The water clarity is still pretty 
muddy from all the wind we have been getting late in the afternoons but we had a few good shots on
the fly this morning and also caught a few nice sharks as well. Pictured above my client Mark Kirsten
from California with his first redfish caught on the fly!

Here are some nice redfish with my clients from the past few days caught on low and high tide flats 
surrounding Hilton Head Island. The shark fishing has also been absolutely Off The Hook as well on 
all my last few trips out there and today we also got a few nice spanish mackerel to the boat to!

The past few days have been a bit challenging out there with the strong winds and dirty water.
The sharks were the only thing biting yesterday and I saw a few redfish so I knew right where 
to go today and we crushed em' this morning. Pictured above are some nice pic's of my clients 
some great catches the last few days. The weather and water clarity look to be getting better
the next few days so I look forward to chasing some mackerel and hopefully some tarpon!

The Darby family had some pretty nasty conditions to deal with today with full moon tides along with 
20-25 mph east winds and I wasn't really expecting to see many fish due to the nasty conditions but 
was really surprised how many fish we saw and actually caught a few really nice redfish out of the grass 
flats. We started off catching a few nice sharks and finished with some good tailing redfish action. It 
turned out to be a great trip on a pretty nasty day!

It was what we call blowing stink out there today! The winds were howling out of the east at 
20 mph and it was a little bit bumpy. When the wind blows that hard you have to just park it in
a creek to get out of the wind and thats just what we did. Turned out to be a great shark trip
catching five different species of sharks like black tip, bull, bonnet, reef and the rare hammer -
head shark. Pictured above top left Andrew and his Dad Doug holding a bonnet and a black tip.
Top right Andrew with a baby hammer head. It's hard to believe this shark will grow to be 10ft!

The spanish mackerel bite was on fire today  just a few miles out and my Client Jim Williams caught several 
nice spanish like this one pictured on my  light spinning outfits. The action was nonstop with the mackerel 
hitting the live baits up on the surface right behind the boat. Unfortunately we had to cut the trip a
little short by a hour because a big thunderstorm pushed offshore and chased us in.

Another scorcher today but there was some decent action out there on several species of sharks,
lady fish, bluefish, spanish mackerel and as you see above some nice redfish. 13 year old Jack 
Wooton finished up the trip this morning catching this stud redfish pictured!

Hot and humid thats been the story the last few days. The wind has been blowing steady out of the
SW which I call the hot devil winds. The fishing has been plenty hot for good size sharks on the flats
and around the nearshore sand bars. Pictured above my clients caught some really nice redfish to finish
off the morning trip. My afternoon trip was a shark frenzy during the heat of the day but lots of fun!

Great trip this morning catching some nice sharks on the light spinning rods and went through the 
rotation several times. We also saw a few nice tarpon roll up on the surface but the sharks dominated 
the bite and the first spot. Next we tried for redfish and pulled this nice one pictured above and finished 
the trip with a visit from one of my favorite dolphins on the way back in!

The past few days has been action packed catching lots and lots of sharks. Not many minutes go 
by on a trip without a rod doubled over to a big bonnet head shark that typically ranges from 2-4ft!
The redfish have been a little spotty but when I get on them its great for few minutes while they 
are passing by and The Cordle family pictured above had a great afternoon yesterday catching 5 nice
redfish like this one pictured.

The fishing was OFF THE HOOK! this morning and this afternoon. Pictured above Tim and his son Johnathan
had a unreal morning of redfishing. We caught 10 big redfish all well over the slot limit ranging from 5-10lbs.
After catching a bunch of big redfish we really got the drags burmning and caught 7 monster bonnet head sharks 
as well to fiish up the trip. The afternoon trip was great as well and we kept thr rods bent and reels screaming 
with more sharks!  Both trips today were return clients and after all the action I think they will be back for more!

Excellent light tackle action on the sharks, spanish and blues the last few days. I have
also seen a good number of tarpon in the area and have been looking hard for the big
jack crevalle that should be popping up on the surface any day now. Pictured above is 
my client Ben Pratt with a good sized bonnet head shark.
