“About 18 months ago, my son Noah (of Kickin’ Their Bass TV fame) became extremely interested in bass fishing. Given the fact that I have never been into the sport of fishing, I needed help to ensure my son got on a good path with this new endeavor. After researching the available guides on Lake Lanier and talking to a few long time lake friends, we choose Jimbo. Man, I am glad we did. I can tell you as I look back on the 12 plus trips we have taken with him since then, we made a great decision. On our initial trip, the very first thing Jim did was stop the boat and ask about Noah and what the goals were on the trip. This let me know he truly cares and found a way to connect with us so that we learned in the most efficient manner possible. While all of our trips were fun, they were geared towards teaching my son the basics and building from there. He was always a patient, detailed coach/teacher and always put in the extra time to ensure growth and satisfaction for myself and Noah. Jimbo has now became like one of our family – even if we are not on a trip with him we can call anytime and he always keeps us updated with the latest techniques and presentations that are working on the lake that week. Jimbo has also leveraged his relationships in the fishing business to help Noah grow in the sport. I know Jimbo did this out of kindness of his heart and because he is the caring person that he is. Now my son has grown into a talented competitive angler under Jimbo’s guidance and mentorship. My son really loves him and is very grateful for all he has done for us, they are like old buddies now. So, in conclusion, if you want a guide that can do a lot for you, go see Jimbo! He is very kind-hearted and knowledgeable, and he is like a brother to me and moreover, a great fisherman that surrounds himself with top notch people. If you are ok with mediocre then can call someone else, if you want the Best then call Jimbo.”
