Tips for Fishing and
Crabbing on Kiawah
With its multitude of lakes, ponds and waterways, and thriving
natural habitat, Kiawah Island is home to some of the best
fishing and crabbing locations in the Lowcountry. Catching
a fish isn’t as simple as dropping a line in the water though.
You have to be in the right place at the right time with the
right equipment. Digest spoke with KICA Lakes Department
Supervisor Matt Hill for his expert advice on fishing and
crabbing around Kiawah.

According to Matt, Bass Pond seemed to be the hot spot this past
fall. Anglers were catching large quantities of big flounder. Other

pond with a dock access will offer a good chance to catch fish.
Crabbing can be done on the creek side at any of these locations.
