What our customers are saying
Fantastic Time With Our Family
"My wife and I had a fantastic time with our family on John’s charters. As a first-time fisherman, John was super helpful in making sure we were comfortable and having fun while fishing. He boated us around to various fishing spots, including a beautiful spot under the 1000 islands bridge. He baited our hooks, untangled lines, and gave us general tips on best ways to fish. He also cooked our catch and made us a fantastic traditional 1000 islands shore dinner. The only thing we really had to do was get our fishing licenses for the day and show up!"

All Six of us Had a Great Time
"Captain John's charter was fantastic. He was so patient with the 4 of us who don't fish. All 6 of us had a great time. He took us all over the river so we felt like we not only were able to fish in many areas but also got a great boat tour. We opted for the shore lunch after. John is a great cook - I'm pretty sure it was the best meal we had all week. Highly recommend both the fishing and the lunch."
- J Dietter
Timely, Courteous, Professional
"This was my second fishing trip in Alexandria Bay and we fished 7 hours straight. John is timely, courteous, professional, attentive, supportive, well-informed of the area, and personable. The boat is clean and safe, John provided all equipment and supported my boyfriend while capturing the fish with netting support."
