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!
John is a great guide. He goes over and above to make sure you catch fish . Makes you feel very comfortable. Would definitely recommend him!!!
John is awesome. He knows exactly what hes doing. This was our second trip with him and we will definitely be booking abother.
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.
