Captain Jim made my brother’s bachelor trip completely unforgettable! Even though we came during a slower catch season, Jim still put us right on the fish. We left with a full cooler, and pulled in a few that were too big to fit! If you are looking to go catfishing in or around the Santee area, Jim is hands-down your guy. He takes care of every single detail so all you have to do is show up, drop a line, and catch fish. Couldn't recommend him enough!
Captain Jim was personable, professional and very organized. He checked with us several days prior to our trip to make sure we had lodging and let us know the best places to stay. Took the time to tell us everything that we needed to bring and what was provided. During the fishing trip he was both helpful and a joy to talk to!!! All and all it was an enjoyable time! Highly recommend!!!
Another great trip!! My Son and his friend got thier PB's as graduation gifts, courtesy of the Captain. Again, we enjoyed the great company and comraderie with the most knowledgeable and capable Captain in the area. Thanks again Jim for all you did to make this trip a memorable one. Hope to see you next year.
This trip was for my 11 year old son. He said it was the best fishing trip EVER! Hes already planning another trip with Mr Jim. He broke two of his personal records! We both love Mr Jim and woukd highly recommend booking with him!

we caught one rhat was about 28 lbs and several that where 5 to 10 lbs
Captain Jim charted a catfishing trip that our kids will remember forever. We caught blue cat and white cat. The weather was perfect. We will definitely book a fishing trip with Captain Jim again.
Took our 12 year old for his 1st ever charter fishing trip. Great experience and great captain!!! Kiddo had never seen fish that large before and was happy to have been able to catch some. Captain was very entertaining and family friendly!! Thanks captain Jim! Lots of love Kelli, david(Gary),& Aaron. Definitely a birthday to remember.

Captain Jim is a catfish whisperer! my son and i came looking for a guide to catch some fish and we tore them up but we left with a day we will never forget and a new friend. if youre looking for good fishing and a good guy to take you there, stop scrolling and start booking! Thanks for the memories, Captain Jim
Captain Jim was great! He is very kind and knows the lake well. I highly recommend him! He is fun to be around and most certainly would book him again.
we might have only caught a couple fish but we have a wonderful time.
We had an amazing day on the lake with Captain Jim! My wife, our two boys, and I had a fantastic time, and we even caught three nice catfish. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. He was especially patient with the kids and made the trip both fun and memorable. If you’re looking for a relaxing day on the water with a captain who truly cares about his guests, I highly recommend booking a trip. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for the great review ! It's good folks like you that keep me doing what I do. You have a friend and Capt. in Santee Cooper Country. I look forward to the next trip with you guy's. Enjoy some the MD blue crabs for me. 😃

I appreciate your great review and kind words. I enjoyed the day with you guys and look forward to our next trip together. I wish you safe travels back home, my best wishes to the bride and groom! and Thanks again. BOK Boys. Capt. Jim 🎣

I have to start by thanking Captain Jim for going above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and like we have known him for years. Made sure we all caught something before the trip ended which he didn’t have to do. A great day with a great guy. We will be back to charter again soon. The only issue was not getting to meet Miss Penny and we look forward to meeting her next time! Thank you for a very memorable day for our family Captain Jim.

Thank you for spending your Mother's Day with me as well as the celebration for your anniversary! Your great review is very much appreciated! I'm looking forward to our next trip for more laughs and stories Cheers, Capt. Jim 🎣
