Joe Dennis and Steve English have good reputations.....

Check out the charlestonfishing.com site.
You can get some reports from there.

Intracoastal Waterway has some crappie fishing. It is tidal water though.

Check out the socks made by Eastering. A lot of the guides who use pontoons on Santee use these.

I am a 'beginning' sheepshead fisherman and need all of the help I can get.
