Join the Fishing Club
Welcome, we are a sport fishing and social organization who meet and socialize with like-minded folks and also help to conserve our marine environment for the future. We also encourage kids to fish and sponsor an annual Kids Fishing Kamp.
Enjoy lots of great camaraderie at our dinner meetings and events. The Hilton Head Plantation Fishing Club is dedicated to promoting sport fishing in the over 40 Plantation Ponds and our coastal waters . Membership is restricted to Hilton Head Plantation Property owners.
Throughout the year fishing charters are arranged by our charter chairman and members can go on a " first come: first served basis". We also have a yearly shrimp boil remoured to be the best in the low country. You don't have to fish to enjoy the club!
We also have knowledgeable speakers at every monthly pot luck dinner. Dues for the year are only $20 and support dinner supplies and honoraria for speakers.
