I have fished with Jim for several years now and have been absolutely blown away each time. I have always caught fish, even in the worst conditions, and have never felt let down at all. Even when the wind chill is single digits and waves are white capping he provides the best service possible and yes I have fished with him multiple times like this. (It is actually pleasant as there will only be one or two other boats on the lake)I most recently went fishing late February 2018 due to a cancelation he had (last minute). Boy did I pick a good time. I scheduled 2 consecutive days and the fishing was so great we spent 23 hours on the water in these two days. My family sent messages thinking I was injured or lost we were gone so much. 50+ keepers, several large bass over 5 pounds, many 4 pounders, and got to the point that I was calling 3 pounders babies! Once again, and for several years now, I left a deposit for my next trip that isn't even planned yet. I know when I get ready it will be worth it! I can't schedule dates far out so I leave a deposit on hand for when he has a cancellation that fits my time frame.

Give him a shot and you will see for yourself!

*Original review*

I fished with Jim on 7/25. We quickly went over the gear and launched the boat at daylight. We made a fast trip across the lake and started fishing deep grass. Within 10 minutes I had caught a 5lb7oz bass and we continued throughout the morning (4 hour trip) to catch 15 total with top five being 22lb5oz. These were by far the largest bass I had ever caught, using reels that were foreign to me, and in the heat of the summer! What more could I have asked for! I can't wait to schedule another trip in March when he said the fish would actually be biting!

My friend also caught his personal best. I had a great friend of mine visiting me from Colorado for the Holidays and the two of us were able to fish with Jim New Year's Eve. Jim was completely upfront and honest with us, explaining that the bite had changed with the weather and that we'd be working to figure things out. We set out on our adventure and Jim worked hard and methodically to figure out where the fish were staged at. Though the morning started slow, we were able to discern a great pattern and catch more than 12 bass under hard conditions to include a 5 bass sack weighing more than 19 lbs. My friend also caught his personal best. Not only was it great to catch fish on a tough day, but it was a lot of fun fishing with Jim; he has a great, fun personality and he still has a strong, driving passion to fish---he's not jaded out like I've experienced with fishing guides in the past. It was a wonderful experience all around and I'd highly recommend him to any angler.

I just called Capt. Jim I am from Mississippi and my Grandparents live in Guntersville . I come visit now and then and to feed a fishing craving I looked up guides online . I just called Capt Jim one day and he was very helpful . I scheduled and booked me a slot and he worked super hard to accommodate my small window of opportunity . Thanks so much ! Did a 4 hour trip which they stretched way out to more like 5 and we had a good catch ! I will definately go with him again . Capt Cameron and Capt Jim you wont be dissapointed !

Best guide ever!!! There's not a more patient guy than Jim!! I am new to bass fishing and Jim took the time to teach me the correct way to catch the big ones!! He knows the lake so well and knows where to put you to have success! Best guide ever!!!
