My wife and I have been fishing with Captain John nsince 1989.
We have always had excellent catches with him. He has always treated us fairly and courtesly. The first time we met Capt John was during Hurricane Hugo. Instead of taking us out to the end of the breakwall, Capt John bought us coffee and took us to the beach and we watched the waves breaking over the breakwall. He gave us our choice we could either receive our deposit back or roll it over to the next year. We opted to roll the deposit over and we are glad that we did. We have grown to know Capt John as the type of person who is fair, honest, and a totally capable Captain. I would not hesitate to recommend Capt John to anyone who enjoys fishing and wants a good deal for his buck.

Captain John:
As you can see from the first picture, Alexa thinks the whole world of you. You are the MAN, for the day you provided for us! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the entire experience. It's a whole lot different for me to get out with the family and my own guide, with NO clients and no pressures. I am truly thankful. I hope some of these pics get on the website, but, I'm just as happy to share them with you, my friend. I'm looking forward to another day on any water; in any weather, seeking our quarry. And as you can see in the one pic, with yours and Alexa's hats on sideways, I can still hear you both finishing your sentence, with, "word!". I never thought I would hear you doing rap. I will send all the pics in multiple mails. Keith Moon rolled over. John, always a pleasure, sir! With continued highest regards,

Fishing with John Oravec is like being invited behind the scenes of a Las Vegas magic show. You find out what you never expected to know, and when you're driving away with a cooler full of fish, you start to think that you too, could catch fish like John. It's only after a few days that the lessons of his hard work, dedication to a craft and extreme attention to the details of the moment sink in and you thank your lucky stars that you were fishing with a real pro.

I want to let you know that, speaking on behalf of all the Lynch men, we had a wonderful experience on the "Troutman." It is an experience that I had with my dad, my uncle and my son that I will never forget. It was an experience for my son that I know he will never forget. Everytime he talks about our weekend fishing trip and the fish he caught, his eyes sparkle and smiles more than I have ever seen him!!! The knowledge and professionalism that you possess is what makes a weekend fishing trip worth it all. Again, I want to thank you from all of us for a great weekend filled with great fishing and lots of memories!!!
Thanks again!!
