Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Ryan demonstrates exceptional skill finding Cherokee Lake's stripers and hybrids, with customers regularly reporting impressive catches like 80 fish in four hours or reaching daily limits within three hours. He quickly adapts when fish aren't cooperating at initial spots, moving to productive areas where guests hook fish consistently. Ryan teaches valuable techniques including faster reel lining methods and shares his extensive local knowledge of the lake's best fishing spots. Customers appreciate Ryan's patience with novice anglers and his ability to make fishing trips memorable for families with children. He comes fully prepared with excellent equipment and shows remarkable timing, like getting groups off the water just before storms hit. Many guests specifically mention planning return trips and enthusiastically recommending Ryan to others after experiencing his laid-back personality and dedication to ensuring everyone has success on the water.

We had a great trip. The Stripers were not cooperating, Jay had us reel up and he put us on them fast. Really memorable charter for us. We will definitely be doing another charter next time we are in the area.

Very knowledgeable and patient. The fish weren’t biting until about 10 minutes before the end, but once we found the sweet spot, they hit hard and fast. Striped bass are such fun to catch and fight. Thank you, Jay for an amazing day!

Our Captain was incredible. We really appreciated his responsiveness and flexibility. Beyond that, his knowledge and patience with our group made the trip unforgettable. I’d come back just to fish with him—he’s the real deal.

Although it wasn’t the kind of day we had hoped, my nephew did catch 3 fish while I got skunked. (That’s why they call it “fishing” and not “catching”. But it was expected with the cold and rainy weather. Capt Jay did his very best to find the fish and keep us entertained. He has a wealth of knowledge and was a great teacher. I would highly recommend Capt Jay!
