Captain John is a local who dedicated his life to fishing. You can rarely meet a person with over 60 years of experience and he's one of them. 15 years ago, he decided to run fishing trips professionally and got his guiding license. The best thing about his job is seeing people's faces when they catch fish. That's the main reason he's dedicated to personalized fishing trips and he isn't interested in fishing tournaments.

    My wife and I hadn't fished in 15 years. Johnny was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He took us to the good spots and we caught a lot of fish. He's the ideal guide for children, all the way up to experienced fishermen. Thanks Johnny! We'll be back...

    Johnny was great! Made sure we caught fish. Took us to several spots on the lake when things got a little slow and had us out longer than he advertised. Not disappointed!

    Johnny is an outstanding captain and definitely knows his way around the lake. He is a down to earth guy and felt like he was one with the group. Thanks for all you did Captain Johnny

    Johnny was a great guide. Weather had just changed but he wasn't giving up. He tried so hard to put us on the big fish he kept saying we're going to bait this up one more time. Two hours later, after our fishing time had ended, he decided to call it a day. Still had a great time, taught us a ton about how to rig up for drag fishing, and almost caught our limit. We will be going back to fish with him again.
