We learned and laughed and really enjoyed how you made us part of the team. Precious memories were made for our family. POEM Day on the Suzanne Too

No breeze, grass everywhere. Still we could feel fish in the air. Not ones that fly, but ones you can smell, I knew we’d go home with stories to tell. Relief from the sun on this overcast day , but it wasn’t going to stay that way. Soon it was shining, and so were the cows. In a flash Brad hooked four, pow, pow,pow ! It didn’t stop there, Cause it happened again. Captain and Brad were the best team. We made great new friends. They may have eyes like an eagle and a nose like a beagle, One things for sure, they have a heart that is regal!

"Captain John, Just wanted to drop a line to let you know how much we enjoyed our fishing experience with you and Billy. It was definitely one of the best fishing experience we've ever had and I'm sure I speak for Skip (the Super Fisherman), Ritchie (the Pro Photographer), and myself. I don't know about John (the Birthday Boy)!! It was amazing how you were able to find the fish that would give us the best chance for a catch during that time of year and we appreciate your effort and professionalism. Billy also made the trip very enjoyable as he is not only a knowledgeable fisherman but an extremely hard worker as well. It was really a fun time for us old "wannabees." We look forward to making this an annual event and hope to book with you again next year. Thank you so much for helping to cross off one big item on our "Bucket List." -- Wayne Ells

"Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful day yesterday! Our friends from Arkansas had the time of their lives and the day just couldn't have been better. Capt. John and Billy were great as was the weather and the fishing. Since our friend John's birthday falls on the 16th we just decided that a trip on the Suzanne will become an annual mid-May event for all of us. We have chartered a lot of boats in our day and our experience with the Suzanne ranks right up there at the top. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next year, if not sooner! -- Tom & Tracy Winter Garden, Florida

"Thanks for the news paper picture and note that you sent me in Michigan. My wife framed the original entire page that you sent me several months ago and it is hanging in my den. I can’t thank you enough for that trip of ours. I have tried fishing for Dolphin unsuccessfully on several attempts. My day with you blew away any expectations that we had. It was by far the most fun I have ever had on a day of fishing. I tell the stories of our fishing trip to my friends up here from time and you have provided me with some awesome memories (and pictures) to last my lifetime. I don’t know if I can see you next spring or not yet, but maybe the year after. I know there are no guarantees as far as fishing trips go, but my next fishing charter attempt will be booked on your boat.

I forgot to mention, it wasn’t just the fact that we caught fish that made it an awesome day. It was you – Capt John.  Allowing us up on the bridge, full of conversation. Teaching us to watch for the birds.  You ever hear that cliché on TV ? Think back to a happy place. That day with you is my happy place.

-- Jeff Weiss Algonac MI 

P.S. I remember seeing you on the Internet a while back – soon after we left in May. Your boat won some sort of fishing contest ? Congratulations !

"Thanks for a great day of fishing. Daniel and I had been planning our trip to Islamorada since he was ten. You made his thirteenth Birthday present one that neither of us will forget. From the moment we booked the trip until you handed over the filets, we knew we were in great hands. We could not have asked for a better planner (Suzanne), Captain and First Mate. Got some good pictures attached and more to come in later emails. Thanks Again for a great time!!!...We'll be back. -- Todd and Daniel Bell
