3/4 Day Trip on June 3, 2026 • 3 adults

Everything that we were looking for from a charter captain on our trip was checked off by Capt. James of Fogman Fisheries. 1st of all the communication was great, and he checked in a couple times leading up to our trip. We got there about 20 minutes early, and Capt. James was ready and waiting. Throughout the entire trip, Capt. James was very personable and eager to share his fishing knowledge and history of the lake with us. Every hole we stopped at, the fish finder was marking plenty of fish. The effort that was put forth by the Capt. to ensure we had a successful trip was outstanding. We would recommend Capt. James to anyone looking for a fishing charter.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Fishing has always been a tradition in the Lindler family. From the time he was 4 years old, Captain James' father and grandfather would drag him along with them to fish for Crappie and Largemouth. As a youth, he would willingly go along, but fishing was not high on his list of priorities. However, that all changed during his years at the University of South Carolina. Several of Captain James' fraternity brothers were avid anglers, and he started joining them on their excursions to local rivers. After several successful outings for White Bass, Perch, and Catfish, he became more and more obsessed. His passion was ignited, though, when he hooked his first big Striper! The strike, the folded rod, the screaming drag, and his burning biceps made it all over but the shouting. The captain was totally hooked on those beautiful, silver, and black creatures! As a retired educator, Captain James is thrilled to have the opportunity to share his passion with others!
