James is a seasoned professional Captain! I took my boat to fish before and after our charter with him and he shared a tremendous amount of unselfish knowledge and techniques to put us on fish! James was our personal guide on and off the Lake! Bottomline, James puts fish in the coolers! I look forward to our next charter with James!

Highly Recommend! Captain James is perhaps the most passionate sportsman I know. He pays attention to the details and spends the time to research in order to ensure he's done everything possible to set you up for a successful trip. Aside from his passion, intelligence and skill, the man has a heart of gold. Easy to talk to, you'll know he cares and just a fun guy in general! Already looking forward to the next time I get to spend with him.
