Joseph
Christy

Captain Joseph Christy has fished these waters for more than fifteen years, since he was ten years old. He grew up in the creeks behind Mount Pleasant and still runs that water today, along with Charleston Harbor and the flats out past the barrier islands.

He runs a shallow-draft bay boat, which keeps the shallowest water in reach. The part he cares about most is watching someone land their first saltwater fish. It puts him right back to being ten years old.

Up before sunrise and out in the water with Captain Jo. Such a great morning and I can’t wait to do it again next time I’m in town

This was our first time fishing on the sea and it was beyond what we imagined! Captain Joseph was very knowledgeable about fishing and even knew some history about the area. He made us feel welcomed and was very easy to talk to. This is a great affordable and first time experience if you are looking to try it. We came looking for sharks but found much more and learned about the beauty of the Charleston coast!

Joseph made a quick trip happen on short notice. Communication was great. Our kids had a blast and he paid attention and called them by name. We went for a nice evening ride and hunted some sharks teeth. I will be back in October to put some redfish in the boat with him.He is building a very respectable business. I will put my money on him in the fall.
