    Unforgettable Fishing Trip with Captain John!

    Captain John's Morning Trophy Trip • 4 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible fishing trip with Captain John! From start to finish, his professionalism and deep knowledge of the water were clear. He made everyone feel comfortable, whether we were seasoned anglers or complete beginners. What really stood out was the easygoing and engaging conversation throughout the day, it felt like we were fishing with an old friend. Captain John’s expertise made the experience smooth and enjoyable, and while we did catch plenty of fish (which was definitely a bonus!), it was the overall experience that made the trip truly memorable. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Captain John again for our next adventure. Highly recommended

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    White Bass

    Great day on Lake Buchanan

    All around great experience. The captain finds the fish, and will try multiple ways to get them to bite. My 5 year old daughter had a blast as well, and was entertained the entire time.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Hybrid Striped Bass
    White Bass
