As if catching a ton of fish was not enough, Capt John was amazing. I have done a ton of charters and there is always the chance of catching or not catching, but one thing remains constant regardless. You couldn’t ask for a better host/ captain to spend the day with. That is what I enjoy and is important to me. And Capt John is right up there with the top Captains I have ever went out with. Oh, btw we caught over 25 peacocks and also some largemouth and crappie. Thanks John. Keep up the good... More

What an awesome day on the water! My 13-year-old son and I have had Peacock bass on our bucket list for a while, and Captain John made sure we checked them off! He’s super laid back and clearly knows his stuff, getting us straight to where the fish were biting. We really appreciated all his helpful advice and pointers that got us catching. If you’re looking to fish in this area, you absolutely need to book with him! We’re already looking forward to our next adventure!

From the start, we discussed the species we wanted to target, and Captain John delivered by taking us right to them. Excellent captain, great fishing, and an all-around awesome experience. Easily, one of my all time favorite fishing trips.

Would absolutely recommend captain John to anybody. Went out on a day with cold water temps and a slow bite but he worked hard to put us on fish. Ending up catching the lake Ida slam and had a great time.

John was a phenomenal guide. It’s obvious he grew up fishing Lake Ida. He knew all the right spots and gave us excellent tips. We caught both species we were looking for — peacock bass and clown knife fish!! Our teen was thrilled! Couldn’t have been a better experience. Don’t hesitate booking a tour with John!
