Captain J Hook Fishing Charters 

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.

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.

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!

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

We had an awesome time with Cap’n J! He is an expert guide, patient teacher and an all-around good dude. Within 20 minutes we were at a great spot filled with fish. We had consistent bites and caught several keepers, one 30” monster we gently put back and several others that we also released. He moved us around as the tides changed and we stayed busy, catching and laughing the whole trip. Highly recommend!

Captain Joe knew where to find the fish - Our fam of 4 had a blast catching 50 - 60! He is kind and helpful with great pointers in catching, quick with rebaiting hooks and even shared some tasty cooking tips for our bounty. Our cooler runneth over!!

Captain Joe was awesome. He went out early to catch bait for us. We caught over 20 fish along with a bull red drum!! While other charters were catching bait we had already had a great day!! He was great with our boys.

We had an awesome day one the water with Captain J. The captain was in touch with me all week formulating a game since the hurricane hit last week. He put us on the fish all day long. We catch around 40 fish, mostly striper with a few catfish mixed in. He is very knowledgeable. We will definitely be fishing Captain J again soon. I would highly recommend.

My two son and I went out for a full day with Capt. Joe, on Lake Multrie, and it was, in my opinion, my best trip to Santee Cooper. Capt. Joe is experienced and knowledgeable of the area. Capt. Joe put us on the fish. I would highly recommend booking a trip with him if you get the opportunity.

This was our first time salt water fishing. Only booked 1/2 day not knowing if we would like it. Wish we would have booked all day. Captain Joe made the trip a wonderful experience. He got us on the fish and even let us stay over our time since the fish were biting so well. The boys are already asking when we could go again and only want to go with Captain Joe. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to go book a fishing trip.
