We had a great morning on the water with Captain John. We booked a 4-hour trip for five adults, and it was clear right away that he knows this lake inside and out. Everyone got to reel in a solid Striper, with the biggest measuring 33 inches and several more in the high 20s. We’...

We targeted bigger Stripers using downriggers, and even though the fish weren’t very cooperative, Captain John stayed focused and worked hard for a full five hours tracking them down. We still came home with three solid bass and had a good time on the water. Great captain — we’ll...

Group of 6 of us caught 30 stripers in just over an hour! Medium sized fish and they're pretty feisty, my nephews loved their first time fishing. Captain John was very helpful, straight to the point with practical advice. His friend Johnny caught some video and is cool.

I highly recommend Captain John if you're planning a fishing trip. He put us on fish right away at the first spot, where we caught plenty of White Bass to get things started. Then we moved to a new area, and he quickly found the Stripers. We limited out (just the two of us) in un...

Captain John is an excellent guide. Three of us limited out on stripers, in addition to 36 white bass. Captain John moved locations four times to make sure we were on fish. Highly recommended.
