I have been fishing my entire life. I caught the fishing bug at a very early age, fishing for freshwater species in upstate South Carolina. When I was able to afford my own boat, I started fishing Bass tournaments and eventually competed in some lower level professional tournaments. I was a high school teacher and football coach for 30 years. About 20 years ago, I got the head football coaching position at a local high school and fell in love with inshore saltwater fishing. I started to guide, at first, just in the summers when school was out, then retired from education and became a full-time fishing captain.

    A wealth of fish on the Wando

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    A perfect outing. Capt Charly had his squeaky clean well equipped center ready to go, after the safety briefing. We hit five of his favorite spots, 1 adult and 3 boys caught 35+ fish using his freshly caught live bait. A teal pro, inshore fish expert.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Flounder

    Half Day Trip – Shark Fishing • 3 adults

    Capt. Charlie was clearly a skilled and knowledgeable captain. Boat and gear was up to date. I’ve chartered several times on the Atlantic and Pacific. I highly recommend Captain Charlie’s Charleston Charters.

    Absolutely Perfect.

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Captain Charlie casts bait like he’s been doing since he was in the womb. The most accurate we have ever seen. He treated us incredibly well and was a great conversationalist, even when we did stupid stuff and didn’t know how to fish at all. He knew exactly what to do at all times, and consistently found fish for us. Nothing but good things to say!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Black Drum
