Capt Jeff had me on fish within 20 mins of leaving the dock! The first fish of the trip was my first-ever keeper striper, and I caught 15 or more shorts. The fish of the day was a fat 29” 16 lbs striper, which beat the first one for my personal best. Three real nice channel cats, the biggest about 8 lbs, rounded out my bag. Capt Jeff really knows his stuff, and is a very personable guy. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great day of fishing.

Could not have asked for a better fishing charter. I had booked a charter with Santee Cooper Charters a few days earlier taking a chance that the weather would deal a decent hand and we weren’t disappointed. Capt. Jeff was great right from the get go. Met my Son-in-law, Grandson, and myself in the parking area. Got us to the boat and within 15 or 20 minutes, had our first fish of many in the boat. My Son-in-law and I had made a bet on 1) first fish 2) most fish largest fish and we both lost out to our grandson who must have landed 25 fish himself winning all three bets. he also managed to catch 4 different species of catfish within the first few hours of the trip even before we moved into the lake. Capt. Jeff worked with him and taught him lessons that helped all of us catch a large number of fish. So many in fact, that we lost count for the day. We had decided at the beginning that we were going to only do catch and release, but i have to tell you, we would have needed a bigger cooler if we hadn’t. We surely see future bookings with Santee Cooper Charters in the future. Oh, and the weather was some of the best we’ve had for a hot minute.

What an A+ fishing guide but more importantly Jeff is as good as human beings come.  He’s a pros pro, he will put you on trophy fish and will get them in the box (or release them with tlc).  I cannot say enough good things about him.  Friendly, good conversation and a great man. Thanks Jeff for a wonderful day on the water.  I highly recommend him and I have hunted and fished my whole life.

Captain Jeff was such a nice guy, and made sure we had a great time!  He adjusted the trip time to make sure we could get out ahead of the bad wether predicted for later that day.  He was very helpful, teaching us what to do, and making sure we all caught lots of fish!  We all loved our time on his boat!
