I have fished with John for many many years. He’s a great fisherman and a true professional in his craft. His equipment ie: boats, fishing gear etc are always spotless. He does it right, he always has the best bait and his gear is prepped and ready to go. He does his homework. He will do his absolute best to put you on fish and provide you a first class experience.
