Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Jimmy is the consummate professional. Has always been a great guide on and off the water. Thanks to him for some advice on surf fishing a couple of weeks ago and he was spot on. This is the place for bait/ don’t get the boxed crap at the locals get it here. Great guy. I wish I could give him a million bucks and let his do what he was called to do with no worries…..maybe someone will do that for me…..

Absolutely amazing inshore fishing trip. Captain Jimmy kept us moving from one hot spot to the next. We caught fish everywhere we went.
Not only did he put us on fish, but was great with the kids.
We caught and released at least a dozen redfish, and kept enough speckled trout for a delicious dinner that night.

Great trip with Captain Jimmy on Tuesday. Nice sunrise and plenty of fish. This was the first time my wife had fished for reds and we found them that morning. Captain Jimmy knew the bay well and was excellent company as well. We'll be back.

My sons (16 and 11) and I had an awesome morning with Captain Jimmy. We caught 9 different species and more than 40 total fish during our 4-hour trip. Highly recommend you book with Fontaine if looking for a charter on Edisto.

I had a great trip! I really enjoyed the way Jimmy responded to the type of trip I was looking for, and the amount of knowledge he has about the ecosystem and the fishing. He went through a variety of situations and locations looking for fish, and managed to find some nice ones.

Captain Jimmy is fantastic! Second trip with him. So much knowledge and lots of fish and sharks. He took care of all the work....all we had to do is show up and fish.

Captain Jimmy did an excellent job communicating about our trip. He taught us how to fish, bait, cast, read the water etc. We learned a lot about other fish, the boat, fishing laws. He answered all our questions. Very attentive and made sure we found the fish. Not all were keepers but enough for dinner. The flounder was exceptional!

Had a great time with Captain Jimmy. Took a short morning tour and had a blast. Spent the first 20 minutes or so catching some bait fish with a net, which was pretty cool to watch.
Then we boated out of the sound and anchored down for the rest of the time.
Caught a bunch of sharks (silky, spinner, bonnethead), jacks, whiting, and croaker. Had some great fights too.
Jimmy had no problem putting us on the fish and enjoyed talking about saltwater fishing (was our first time as we grew up lake fishing).
Will definitely go out again next year, for a longer trip...and try to catch dinner! Thanks Jimmy.

Booked a trip with Jimmy for my 40th. Weather conditions were questionable for the days leading up to our trip. But he kept me posted and assured me it would work out. No sooner did we shove off from the dock than the rain stopped and the clouds parted, giving way to sunshine and a good time. Now I am not saying that Jimmy has that kind of power, but it was quite a coincidence... Given the water conditions, he was sure to give us realistic expectations. We tried multiple spots with little action. Just when I was becoming discouraged, he found the honey-hole and it was FISH ON!!!! Jimmy worked his tail off to assure us a good time. When he wasn’t placing a perfect cast with precision, he was baiting another hook or telling us a story. It was awesome!!! Lots of big reds, a black drum, and a sea trout! Thanks so much for a memorable day!
