Chicago Fishing Charter on Lake Michigan Comments

Here’s what people are saying about fishing with us on Diazepam.
(And we didn’t make any of them up!)

Fishing with Captain John is a fantastic day on the water! John’s expertise makes even a first- timer feel like a pro. You can sit back and relax, but if you’re willing to grab a line and start reeling… the excitement doesn’t stop!

The trip was completely wonderful, John. Great boat, perfect conditions, and excellent attention to the new and experienced anglers! Thank you.

We had a great time last weekend fishing with you. The trip exceeded our expectations. You and Bill are obviously very knowledgeable on fishing in the area and we benefitted with a lot of fish because of that knowledge. We missed a few that we'll catch on the next trip. We had some first timers on the trip and they were extremely happy to be along. We are looking forward to two trips in 2012, one in July and one in August.

Thanks for the great day we spent with you. We enjoyed the fishing, the crazy weather and your company

My son is hooked! Thought he might be bored with 6 hours of non-stop fishing, but he can't wait to go next year!

We had a great time out on the Diazepam! We were blown away by the fishing, and you did a wonderful job with making us feel safe and comfortable. I know we may have had a lucky day (I can't believe how much we caught), but had we only caught a few, we'd still be raving about the trip! Recommending you to everybody!

Captain John, Last Monday was absolutely the best Monday I have ever had that I can remember on the water! You and your mate made the life experience of fishing on Lake Michigan a memory forever. This is just a short note to say THANKS and I will now recommend everyone I know to call you when planning a trip to Chicago! The boat is outstanding but the Captain and Mate made it a life memory instead of just a great fishing day! Thanks again,

Hi John, I just wanted to thank you and your mate for such a wonderful experience last weekend. I cannot believe how many fish we caught! It was a pleasure spending the day with you both and hearing your stories and knowledge of fishing. My grandpa said it was one of the best days of his life, and has been thoroughly enjoying his plethora of fish. He has been telling everyone about it. I'm definitely going to take him again next year! Thanks again! Deanna A

Great day. Captain John is a great guy and made all of our guests feel welcome. I would recommend him highly and will use him again.

Tom H., Austin, TX - 7/24/2012

John & First Mate...Thank you so much for such a great day on Lake Michigan; we had a blast and ended up with 60 lbs of Salmon at the end of the day. We will be back!

Brad E., Frankfort, IL - 7/25/2012

Captain John, I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome time that we had aboard the Diazepam on Sunday. It was my bachelor party and could not have been better... your professionalism, expertise, customer service, and sense of humor were outstanding...it is an experience that I will never forget. I highly recommend your boat and your services to anyone! Thanks again,

Exceeded all expectations. Best trip we have ever taken. Captain and crew worked to make this a day we can't stop talking about. Thanks captain John and crewmate.

William S - 8/6/2012

Thanks for making my husband's 50th birthday gift a great success. Joe and his friends have a great memory to look back on. He said you and the mate were great and he can't say enough about it. They are even thinking of making this an annual event.

Bernie - 8/13/2012

Capt. John, Thanks again for putting us on the fish. It's a great Capt . that let's you take your lumps by teaching how to hook and catch. Even though we didn't boat all of our strikes I believe we will do better next time. Next summer we will be back in Chicago and we will look you up. On a scale of 1 to 10 / because nothing is perfect / I give you a 9.9 . The 6 of us back in Detroit will be BBQing our 12 filets.. God Bless.
