DURING THE WEEK THE WEATHER LOOKED PRETTY BAD FOR OUR FRIDAY CHARTER.  THE CAPTAIN KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ME CONSTANTLY.  THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE TRIP, HE SUGGESTED WE TALK IN THE MORNING.WE DID, BUT IT WAS “0” DARK HUNDRED.  WE DELAYED A WHILE BUT TOOK OFF WITH SOME WAVES SPLASHING OVER THE BOW.  BEFORE LONG, THE WIND DIED AND THE LAKE CALMED AS WELL AND WE WERE ON FISH.  HE FOUND FISH LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN ALL MY FISHING EXPERIENCE.  THEY WERE STACKED FROM 18 TO 10 FEET AND THE CAPTAIN PUT THE LINES RIGHT IN THEIR FACES. WE CAUGHT OUR LIMIT IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS .THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN BY TROLLING.  HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE IT WORK, BAGS OUT TO SLOW THE BOAT, LENGTH ADJUSTMENTS, DEPTH ADJUSTMENTS, AND DIFFERENT COLORS TO ENTICE THE ‘BITE’.
THIS WAS THE FIRST TRIP FOR MY BOYS, SO THEY NEVER HAD A CRAPPY TRIP.  I HAVE HAD MANY BUT THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST.  WELL, ACTUALLY IT WAS THE BEST EVER IN MY 75 YEARS, SEVENTY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN FISHING.

CAPTAIN JOHN GETS MY VOTE FOR A RETURN TRIP ANYTIME.  WE LAUGHED, TOLD STORIES, VERBALLY BEAT UP THE MATE EVERY CHANCE WE GOT. OF COURSE HE WAS GREAT TOO BUT SOMEONE HAD TO BE THE BRUNT OF THE JOKES.
WE FISHED THE NEXT DAY AND THAT CAPTAIN WORKED AROUND THE WEATHER AGAIN GETTING US ANOTHER PILE OF FISH.
I COULD TELL YOU MORE BUT I NEED TO BAG THE MANY POUNDS OF WALLEYE AND GET IT IN THE FREEZER.
AS CAPTAIN JOHN SAYS, “LETS GO FISHING.”
I SAY, “FISH WITH THIS MAN.”

Captain John turned nothing into something he never gave up and his deck hand busted ass the entire time and ended up getting our group of 6 35 walleyes. Awesome first experience on a charter and would highly recommend impulse fishing.

John was an excellent captain with a lot of experience and stories. He will make sure you have a good time while catching lots of fish. John was a good teacher aswell and gave us lots of tips and tricks for walleye fishing on Lake Erie. I would definitely reccomend this charter.
