Doesn't do as he says he will.

July 11, 2025

We had an incredible fishing experience! Our goal was to catch redfish, and the trip certainly lived up to our expectations. I've attempted to catch Redfish in five different states with various charters and individuals, but it was with Captain Joe Dennis that I finally succeeded. My daughter managed to reel in an 18-pounder, followed by another impressive catch weighing around 12 pounds. We also landed some of the biggest Speckled Trout we've ever seen! Captain Joe was always ready to assist us with re-baiting and getting our lines back in the water, which really improved our chances of a good catch. He even guided us to a fish market for cleaning our catch, and then to Water’s Edge Seafood Restaurant next door, where we enjoyed a fantastic lunch with our freshly caught fish. His judgment regarding the weather was absolutely perfect, making it an overall stellar day. We strongly recommend Captain Joe Dennis and his charter service for an outstanding inshore fishing experience. Cheers to the team!

I’ve spent most of my life fishing, but I’ve never had a day like we did with Captain Joe. He knows exactly what he’s doing and puts you on the fish. You won’t go wrong booking with him—we’ll definitely be back.

July 11, 2025

From start to finish, Capt. Joseph was top-notch. He’s knowledgeable, experienced, and kept things fun the entire trip. I’ve fished with plenty of guides, and he’s definitely one of the best. We caught fish, but more than that, we made a lasting connection. – K. Brown

July 11, 2025

Captain Joe really knows his stuff. We had an awesome trip and caught 45–50 catfish before lunchtime. I highly recommend him—if you’re looking to catch fish and have a great time, he’s your guy. I’m already planning my next trip with him!

July 11, 2025

Our family of four had a blast fishing with Captain Joe! Getting the teenagers up early was totally worth it—we landed a 20lb catfish before 7 AM and several more in the 10–12lb range, most of them before 10. Captain Joe kept things fun and exciting the whole time. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, we highly recommend his charter!
