We did our annual trip with James last week. We spent the day on a large lake putting together a pattern. James had them dialed in quickly. We used that pattern all over the lake. Whenever the bite would slow he would make a minor adjustment and we were back on em. Our count at the end of the day was 63 bass.

Thanks James for another good trip.

Agree with all the positives from a trip with James. I've fished the same lake for 20 years and after one trip with James, I added several new areas and techniques that I would never have thought of before. And most of them were very simple and right in front of me the whole time. An added bonus was the electronics tutorial...I had bought a new boat and didn't understand how to use my new electronics, i.e. how to interpret what I was seeing on sidescan or how to properly mark an underwater structure. James did all of the above. Will definitely book more trips but on some of the other area lakes.

I fished with James 3 days ago on a lake that I struggle to put together a decent sack. After spending some time talking about seasonal patterns and being entertained by locals wanting to share favorite hot spots and lures we launched my boat and went catching. James asked me what a successful day would be to me. I said 20 to 30 fish and a limit that would compete for a win. We reached both goals. Today I took the strategy and a technique I learned from James to a different lake, in less than two hours I had 5 fish for 13+. I caught more throughout the afternoon that would have culled to a 15 - 16 lb sack.
James is the reel deal, he has a lot of class. Spending time fishing with him I could tell he really enjoys sharing his knowledge and wanted me to leave the lake a better and more confident bass fisherman..
Thank you James

If you need your electronics set up or an offshore class, hit me up!

James recently found out I work very closely with your uncle! For years now he consistently talked about his nephew and about how good of a fisherman you were. Took me 3 years to figure out and put two and two together to realize who he was actually talking about!

Went out with James to a very popular tournament lake. We didn't launch until after 10am and were into fish less that 100 yards from the ramp. We ended up boating 50 bass. It was very rare that we stopped at a place and didn't get bit. 10 bass an hour in the middle of the day will give you a lot of confidence. Can't wait for my next tournament there.

i refuse to plug this guy again. 😆 but i will say we went fishing saturday evening and he had around 25lbs in about 3 hrs of fishing on a metroplex lake. crazy thing is his approach is so simple and its basic fishing! thx james and i’ll see you again in october.

Headed out with him on my new boat this Saturday, I feel like a little kid waiting on Christmas. I hope I can soak up that 7 hours of knowledge!

I’m gonna add my name to the list of students helped out my Jame’s tremendous teaching. We spent several hours learning about lures/patterns/searching before fishing for a few hours. I feel much more confident going forward! The best thing in my opinion is how he simplifies everything (including your tackle and what you DON’T need)

I've been reading these great reviews for years. Finally pulled the trigger and met up with James, yesterday. It was much more than I'd even hoped for. Do yourself a favor, go read each and every review on here and then get in line.

Dang... guess he really is the REEL deal, I will get in line!

He’s legit, fished with him yesterday. He can break down a lake and help establish a pattern as good as anyone I’ve fished with. Fun day at Texoma!

Don’t forget your 2 smallies on 1 cast!

Almost forgot the double, thanks James and happy holidays!

Update: from earlier review. First time bass fishing since my day spent with James on Halloween day. I know I would not have been fishing the way I was had I not met you. Thanks again!
