Awesome Captain!
Full Day Trip on April 1, 20262 adults
John was a great Captain! He got us into a good number of fish and shared some tips about how to best fish Lake Guntersville. He contacted us the evening before the trip to go over everything and to make sure we would be at the right ramp the next morning. As a Captain, he was very kind, easy going, and didnt make you feel uncomfortable asking questions. We just recently retired and this was the first thing on our bucket list, and we were not disappointed. Thanks, John!

If you want a guide who is easy to worker with, knows all the goods spots, shows up on time, puts you on the fish, helps you with gentile instruction and accuracy, this is your guy. Listens and explains and answers questions without judgement. I will be using him again real soon.
