I’ve fished Lake Erie for most of my 59 years. But this was my first trip with Captain John. Our experience couldn’t have been better.
Captain John’s boat is clean and gave us plenty of room. Our wives appreciated having a cabin below to get out of the wind and cold…. we fished mid October so that morning was a bit breezy and cold getting out to our spot. And having a bathroom put the wives at ease. They were so concerned there wouldn’t be a bathroom!
Captain John had radio contact, talking with several other charter captains. And they all shared Intel on where the fish were hitting. John never hesitated moving us to better fishing spots anytime the fishing slowed. He really put in the effort! And we all caught fish… plenty of fish.
Our wives really appreciated his willingness to bait their hooks… we were too busy fishing. His humor was spot on busting my son’s chops when he dangled a fish over the side, and watched it drop back in the lake. He asked him if he knew what he did wrong so he could course correct. Then told him it was “pretty much everything”“, “admiring his catch” before he could answer…. too funny!
Great stories, hard working, total attentiveness in constantly helping us and the wives… doesn’t get any better than Captain John in our opinion.
See ya for a trip this coming spring!
