Scottie's Story

Professional, prepared, and personal — trusted for putting people on fish and delivering memorable days on the water.

“2025 year I had the best experience fishing for big catfish with Captain John. He’s very kind, smart, honest, always on time for fishing trips, and willing to teach you anything you want to learn about fishing 🎣 I’ve fished with him for a few years now, and I always keep going back because he’s the best 😁😁”

5 star review
We booked a day with Captain John not knowing exactly what we wanted to target — just that we wanted action and to learn something. He adjusted the plan based on conditions and put us on fish quickly. What stood out most was how he explained why we were fishing certain areas and how the setup worked. It felt like more than just a charter — it was a full learning experience. We’ll definitely be back.

From the first phone call to the final fish, everything was easy and enjoyable. John’s knowledge of the water and the area makes a difference. If you’re looking for a stress-free, fun charter, this is it. We’re already planning next year.

It was a slow morning, but John never stopped working — adjusting depths, changing lures, and covering water until we found them. He knows the lake inside and out and made it a great experience. Highly recommend.

Captain John truly knows his craft. We hooked three fish in the first hour and had an incredible day. He’s helpful, welcoming, and treats you like family. We’re already booked again — that says everything.

My son and I had an unforgettable day on the water. John was honest, fun, and took the time to pick the best conditions for us. We caught plenty of big fish and made memories we’ll never forget. We’ll definitely be back.
