On our trip we had a boat of five fishing with three that were inexperienced fishers and he did a great job of helping everyone especially since we had so many fishing in tight quarters. Since we had two teenage girls he stopped and let them collect shells (which wasn’t originally planned!).  Then on the way back in he stopped under the bridge so we could get close to the dolphins because he knew it was time for them to be coming in to feed. It was a great time had by all!

This was a great trip we caught a ton of fish more than I had imagined we would. I would and will be using him for many more trips to come. Captain John is very knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of your trip from where to stay and places to eat and see. He is a fourth-generation fisherman from right there and it shows in everything about the trip.

John was great to work with. Very knowledgeable, great teacher, and he made sure we caught several fish. My wife and I have only ever freshwater fished, and he did a great job teaching us different ways to cast and reel our catches in. Super friendly guy, and definitely worth the money! If we ever come back to Appalacicola, we will definitely use him again.

We had a great day on the water with Captain John. He works hard and goes above and beyond to get you on fish. His local knowledge is extensive and he shares valuable information on the local ecosystem, including the St Vincent Island/NWR. Highly recommend him for the Apalachicola bay area.

we had a great time on our excursion with Captain John.  Not only was he knowledgeable about fishing, but he shared a lot of very interesting facts about the area.  He was very patient with our grandkids and we caught lots of fish!  We would highly recommend using Captain John and we hope to make this an annual tradition.
