Captain had to work a little to find the fish but when he found them he found them. Would give a high recommendation for this trip.

Captain John knows Ida Lake. He does 300+ charters per year and it shows. He put us on peacock bass within minutes and the bite didn’t stop all day. We caught somewhere between 60-70 fish. We lost count. The biggest 5 or so fish were 4+ pounds. Amazing day. Thank you!
