Fish weren't biting at the beginning, but he found a spot late that morning. WE got a hit almost every cast after that. I even caught one when I laid my pole down with the bait on the side of the boat to take a picture of my wife with her bass. Will definitely be back to go fishing with Captain John.”

He has a nice boat, good equipment and plenty of knowledge. Great day!”

Perhaps they will contact me soon and fix the situation, but for now I would strongly stay away and based on my experience with trip advisor and their customer service so far I would stay away from this company and trip advisor as booking service. Will change the review if I either the company or trip advisor takes any steps to fix.”
