Inshore: Captain Kai Williams (843-816-7475) and Captain Trent Malphrus (843-301-4634) report that May is usually more consistent than April around Hilton Head, and they expect both redfish and trout to bite well this month. By the end of April there was already significant improvement with the reds. Redfish will be caught around structure on low tide with a variety of baits including shrimp and finger mullet, and you will also pick up black drum on the shrimp. On flood tides reds will move onto the flats to feed and tail as they eat fiddler crabs. Trout will be eating shrimp this month, but as it gets hotter the fish will go a little deeper. Perhaps the most exciting action this month will be in the Broad River as the cobia and bull reds continue to arrive.Nearshore: Captain Kai reports that at the nearshore reefs and hard bottom areas migratory species like bluefish, Spanish mackerel and cobia will be caught.
