Great day on the water
Morning Fishing/Charleston Tour on October 7, 20242 adults

We had a perfect day out on the water. Captain J communicated with us, gave us great directions for how to find him. He was ready and waiting with live bait and all the equipment necessary to catch all the fish we wanted. He had us on fish within minutes. Plenty of black drum, speckled trout & red fish. When the fishing was over, he ended the morning with a nice trip around Charleston Harbor and a drive by of Fort Sumter. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Good eating fish to catch with Joe
Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on August 7, 20233 adults

Joe was a great guide for a fishing charter captain. Between my dad, brother and myself we caught 30 fish, kept 11 for cut bait and eating. We caught trout, pin fish, red drum, and bluefish. If you’re new or you are a fisherman, this was a good charter to go on as he is willing to help you catch fish for the first time or as for myself to catch and cook. My dad came along and never caught a fish in his life and walked away with the biggest catch of the day. If Joe tells you to be there at 6 am go, it’s definitely worth waking up early…you catch more this way.

Half day trip
Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on August 10, 20232 adults2 children

Captain Joe was great. Great communication before our trip. He called the morning off to check on wind conditions to make sure we were still comfortable going. When we got to the boat? Captain Joe had bait already caught. When we got to his spot, we had fish on hooks within minutes while we saw other chatter boats still looking for bait. Caught about 30-40 fish in total and were able to keep nine for cooking. Would definitely recommend Captain Joe and will book with him again.

Half Day Trip with Captain Joe
Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on July 6, 20223 adults

We had a great day fishing! We hoped to catch red fish and the trip did not disappoint. I've tried catching Redfish with other charters and people in 5 states and finally nailed one with Captain Joe Dennis! My daughter caught one 18 pounds followed by another at about 12 pounds. We also caught some of the largest Speckled Trout that any of us had caught before! He was also quick to help us re-bait and get back out there in the water increasing our fighting odds! He directed us to the fish market to get our catch cleaned, which lead us next door where Water's Edge Seafood Restaurant cooked our catch for an awesome lunch! His call on the weather was spot on and it was just a stellar day. We highly recommend Captain Joe Dennis and this charter service for fantastic inshore fishing! All the best folks!

Half day trip with captain Joe
Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on April 2, 20223 adults

Captain Joe is an absolute pro. I took my two sons Striper fishing for the first time. He communicated directions several days in advance and made sure we had his contact info. When we arrived everything was ready to go. His boat and tackle were in great condition and he took us right to a great spot. We immediately started catching large Striped Bass. We caught fish the entire time but when things started slowing down he took us to a new spot where we started landing fish again. Joe was great with instruction, baiting and different fishing techniques. It is obvious he has been doing this a long time. He’s easy going, enjoys what he does and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Captain Joe. Gregg Johnson

My father and grandfather were avid outdoorsmen who shared their love for the outdoors with their children. Living close to both fresh and salt water has made me a more experienced Captain. I now have my own outdoor fishing show locally and on ABC. Check us out on YouTube: Father and Son Outdoors TV.
