He knows exactly where to find flounder and other species, and he takes the time to explain the process and techniques for spotting and gigging them.

Great experience! John was there early. Explained what we were going to do and how we would look for flounder. Then he explained how we would gig them. He even provided a chair for my husband who was recovering from knee surgery. This allowed both to have a great time. We gigged 4 founders and enjoyed every minute!
