Me and my son where very grateful to find this guy. First we went about 30 minutes out to one of his spots and caught 12 Sheephead all of sizable quality within 30 minutes (we threw back 4-5 smaller ones) and then we went inshore for Spanish mackerel and caught 5 in about 30 minutes then we went for some trout, no luck so we moved on quickly to look for Redfish, we caught a few up in the beautiful river but it was slow so we went to try for some more Spanish. What a trip. So many experiences and he was really knowledgeable. I fish all over and he's one of the most knowledgeable Captains that I've met. He's also retired from the Navy and told me he's been fishing here his whole life. Please support our servicemen and have a great time doing it.

Captain Charles is a national treasure as far as I'm concerned. He hails from a long line of…read morefisherman, he's a Vietnam vet, he is an amazing story teller, and he is a master at his trade. I have had the privilege of being a guest on his fishing vessel quite a few times over the last few years, and he has amazed me with his personality, know how, and his ability to make you comfortable enough to always have a great time. It's pretty comical as numerous guides call Charles while he is on the water to get fishing tips and locations to go to! In his laid back and gentlemanly demeanor, he kindly helps them, as I'm sure he has done many times over the years. He has yet to disappoint, and I can't remember a time that he hasn't put us on the fish. It seems like I have caught a thousand fish off of this man's boat! Be smart, and use Charles if you are fishing St. George Island, Apalachiacola, or anywhere close. This gentleman is the real deal!

My experience with Captain Charlie (CC) was highly unsatisfactory. The charter was scheduled for…read more8am-2pm and CC did not arrive until 8:20am. We did not leave the dock until 8:33am and I assumed CC would make up the time. Although we did catch 17 fish, CC stated it was time to return to shore at 12:47pm. When questioned he said the tour time would be expired by the time we got back. We returned to the dock at 1:15pm. During the fish cleaning, CC stated he would be taking two of the filet's we caught. Confused by the brazenness, I asked why he thought that was okay. He just replied, "The Captain's gotta eat too" and before anything else was said, the fish cleaner turned and handed him two of the biggest filet's we caught. He was given a handsome tip as is customary along with his deck hand and then CC informed me that I would need to pay for the fish cleaning. I told him I had gone fishing two days before and the captain paid his cleaning crew. Knowing this, I had given him a generous tip to cover it. CC then asked in an offensive tone if I expected him to pay for my fish. So, for $1300 he leaves late, returns early, takes a prime portion of the fish we caught, tacks on additional costs, and leaves the party feeling awkward and unappreciated. Their lack of transparency and poor service made the entire experience frustrating and disappointing. I strongly discourage booking with them.

He kept the boat moving to find the fish. If these current photos are any indication, he's still on his game. We've been fishing with a few other Captain since, and we compare them all to Charlie. With all the hurricane destruction, we're wondering how he and his family are faring. If you're reading this, Charlie, Sam and Jennifer from Colorado (we're in AR now) are thinking of you. We hope you are ok. We will be in Florida helping with the relief effort in a couple of weeks. If we're near, we will check up on you!

He has safety in mind (he was formerly in the Coast Guard), but loves for his clients to have a great time fishing. We've caught all kinds of great species with him...red snapper, grouper, sharks, bull redfish, triple tail, and the list goes on. Highly recommend you try one of his charters.
