From a Navy Vet. YOU RULE! That is a very nice thing you do!

I wish I could make it. I can sprinkle the good luck sailor water catch fish magic your way.

If I had any vac. time left I'd be all over it. Guys if your a veteran and there's any way you can do it, go for it. I don't think you can ever top this offer. Chris it's a great thing your doing and Kudo's to you.

I'd like to take advantage of this. What's the deal?

PM sent...

If your a veteran, send Chris a P.M. or give him a call at the number on his website.

it is slowly growing...last day to get in on this...my cell 903 647 3737

it was a "reel" pleasure and for those who missed it...

Was a great day with mostly nonstop action. We would have a short slow period but Jimmy put us back on the fish in no time. Had an awesome time with fellow vets and can't wait to do it again next year. Thanks Jimmy and of course Chris/ Striper Express Guide Service.

PS Chris, your dad was a hoot to talk with booking the trip.

What a day! We had almost non stop action. As I arrived on the dock, I was greeted by some very nice and friendly guys. From the start you can see it is a very well run fishing guide service (STRIPER EXPRESS Guide Service). You have seen the photos from the trip, now let me share a few words about the people involved on putting together this great opportunity for our United States Veterans. The staff was absolutely very professional on how they organized the trip. Chris introduced himself and promptly introduced our guide for the trip, Jimmy. Jimmy you could tell right away knew his stuff. It did not take him long to locate a school of Stripers but unfortunately they moved out as quickly as they were located. Within a few minutes Jimmy saw some birds working near the shoreline and we were on them. Once more they started to move out and we were in hot pursuit only to be muscled in by some very rude fishermen and broke up the school. Within seconds Jimmy said lets move on and locate another school. Yes once more you can see Jimmy’s knowledge of the lake and the striper pattern. He was very helpful and was willing to share his knowledge of his years of experience. Not to mention his patients in straightening out the mess I made with some outrageous back lashes. When I had communicated with Chris I had mentioned that I am a disabled Vet, so when I offered to sit up front Jimmy was quick to make sure I didn’t have to step up to the front and he would have one of the younger Vets do that.

Well, the day moved on and we had a blast mainly because Jimmy was always looking for fish and putting us on them. He was in constant communication with Chris. Once more STRIPER EXPRESS showing the coordination of their fleet. They worked together all afternoon. By the end of the day our boat had landed over 100 stripers. Once we had our limit we caught and released all the stripers and caught and kept some magnum White Bass (sandies) and a nice Blue Cat.

Upon arriving back at the dock the guides went right off cleaning fish from both boats that were out that day. They do a wonderful job preparing your catch so you can return home with your fish, cleaned and ready for your feast of fresh stripers.

I would like to thank (STRIPER EXPRESS Guide Service) for thinking of our American Veterans on this special day. Chris and Jimmy you guys made my day and I know my fellow vets felt the same. Count me in next year.

I was also fortunate enough to be on this trip. I had a great time fishing and learning from Jimmy and Chris. This group sure knows where the fish are and what bait to use. I can't wait to do it again next year. Of course my wife's not too happy (I found a another bait I must have in my tackle box)! Buy hey, I'm sure Moe's and SBT will be happy to get another order for their product.

Again, thanks Chris/Jimmy (and Striper Express)for a great day of fishing (and thinking of us Vets).

Special THANK YOU to Jimmy and Chris of Striper Express. I had an AWESOME time yesterday guys. This was my first guided trip and it won't be my last. You guys worked so hard on and off the water. You know, I have been to Iraq 3 times since 2005 and yesterday was the most generous thing anyone has even done to say thank you. Thank you again and I will certainly be in your boat again. John.

Thank you Jimmy and Chris for showing some of our Vet's a great day of fishing. I wish I could've been there but knowing you guys had a great time is almost as good. Kudos Striper Express.

Very cool thread guys. Good job Chris & Jimmy and a special thanks to all the vets out there!
