Hi Captain Jim !!!

Been pretty busy since we got back from fishing with you this year. But I just wanted to take a second to THANK you again for another fun experience out on Lake Erie Bass fishing. My Brothers and I really enjoy spending the day fishing with you. I also appreciate your expertise and time you took to teach us the finer points of "tube jig" fishing ! That was cool !!! Hope you didn't mind all the rods we had in the water ! Lots of FUN ! Have a great year fishing and hopefully we will see you next year !!!!

My Dad and I booked a 3 day trip in late May. I have fished and hunted with Outfitters all over the United States. Jim is a first rate guide. His experience (31 years of guiding), his boat (one of the best fishing boats in the fleet), and his personality all combine to make Jim the "captain to book" if your are interested in booking a Lake Erie fishing trip. Honestly it was more than I could hope for. The 3 days I fished with Jim my Dad and I caught 74, 62, and 99 small mouth bass. What a fishery! I am already planning to return again and fish with Jim in the fall.
