My name is Louis Carr, my kids and I came from Cajun Country Baton Rouge, La to fish. The Captain was great, met all our needs, fishing pointers, great conversationest and seem to care about his clients best interest. The best part about the trip was having us feel like no worries needed just have a great time. I truely appreciate the fact that he didn't treat the trip as a job, we understood we were fishing like family. Thank You Captain with Makin Big Bass Memories.

What a morning! Thank you so much for our trip this morning Justin - what a great time me and my boys had fishing with you on your fantastic boat. You literally helped them every step of the way and there wasn’t a minute when they didn’t have a freshly prepared rod ready to go 👍 Can’t thank you enough and we will definitely be back! This is the man to get your fishing charters with - polite, well informed and a great experience provider.

I booked this trip as a birthday gift for my nephew, and it couldn’t have gone any better! There were four of us total, and the boat was super comfortable for everyone. Justin was an excellent guide—friendly, patient, and really knew where to find the fish. He took us to a few great spots, and we caught a ton of bass! You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wanted us to have a great experience. We all had an incredible time and can’t wait to go again. Highly recommend Justin if you’re looking for a fun and successful day out on the water!

It was my 13-year-old son’s first fishing excursion, and I am so grateful we experienced it with Justin. The entire journey was incredible. My son caught numerous fish and truly cherished those 4 hours on the boat with Justin. It was a valuable learning experience, particularly for my son. I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on a trip with Makin Big Bass Memories, especially with Justin.

Had a great time fishing with Capt. Justin on Lake John this morning. Capt. Justin is very knowledgeable of the lake and bass behavior for catching quality fish. I will call Capt. Justin if I’m ever in Orlando area in the future. Highly recommended. David J

Justin knows his bass! We hit multiple spots and tried a variety of rigs—got on fish fast and caught plenty. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched the day to my experience level. I picked up some great new tips and techniques along the way. Easygoing, knowledgeable, and great to fish with. I had an awesome time on the water with Justin.

This was the first charter trip for my son and me, and it couldn’t have gone better. Justin made everything easy from the start—clear instructions on where to meet, a smooth boarding process, and we were off to the first spot. Within minutes, I was reeling in my first fish of the day! As someone new to fishing, I really appreciated Justin’s help with casting while my son—the real fisherman in the family—was already in his element. I caught bass back-to-back, followed by my very first pickerel and gar—species I had never even heard of before. Such a cool and exciting moment! We took tons of photos and videos, and Justin kept cold bottled water on hand for us. The second spot had calmer water and a whole new mix of wildlife. Justin shared all kinds of info about the local birds, and we learned so much throughout the day. Using live bait was new to me too, since my son usually sticks with frogs and lures. The highlight? My son landed his personal best—a bass around 5 pounds and 21 inches. He was beyond proud. Time flew, and we honestly didn’t want the day to end. After wrapping up, we chatted a bit at the dock before heading back to the hotel. Whether you're new or experienced, Justin is the guide you want. We had a blast and can’t wait to book again. Thanks, Justin—you’ll definitely see us back!
