"Testimonial's about Reel Fun Sportfishing"

Here are a few of the emails I've received about Reel Fun Sportfishing:
(My sincere "Thank You" to all for your kind words)

Dear Capt.John,

Bailey and I want to thank you for one of the greatest fishing days ever - we knew there was divine intervention as soon as we woke up and looked outside - what a spectacular day - the best of the summer. Then your directions to the dock were crystal clear. Like a couple of angels come from above, you and Mark suddenly appeared stage right and left at the dock, both with hearty smiles and welcomes. Then, in a flash, we were aboard the Reel Fun Sportfishing luxury liner. Beautiful boat, well-equiipped, clear, and, of course, 'the brothers' at the helm. (I know you're not related by blood, but you work so well together and seem such good friends, it's hard to tell the difference.).

Put up our feet and enjoy the beautiful sites along the way off Sandy Hook. Then you sneaky guys found your 'special spots,' which you both described giggling like children. "Oh, this is one of our spots." Wham! No sooner did Bay have his line overboard (after expert instruction) than little mr. 5-lb flounder was on the end of his line. 27 flounder and blues later, the beautiful sunset appeared and in one fluid motion the deck was being cleaned and prepped for more adventures the next day and we were underway back to the dock, sad, but with 20lbs of smartly filleted flounder in hand, good friendships made, a happy son and contentment in our hearts.

I'm not a religious guy, but this is as close as I've come to a religious experience in many years.

THANK YOU...... Captain John and Mate Mark!!!

Looking forward to our next visit.

Good Morning Captain John,

My sisters and I were checking the website the day after our wonderful fishing journey with you and Mark. It was awesome and Susan and Laura were so incredibly excited to see themselves on the website. They had an amazing time and you guys were so patient and wonderful with them and I cannot thank you enough. It was a glorious evening and one that will not be forgotten by myself or my sisters. You are a prince among men John and I thank you and Mark again for the evening and your very, very kind words for me and my sisters on the website. I cannot wait to come back out with you guys very soon.

My friend Capt. John loves to fish, and that shows through on his Raritan Bay charters. Whether you’re putting together a hardcore hunting trip for doormat fluke, or looking to hook up your family on a hot striper bite, John’s covered all the bases aboard Reel Fun Sportfishing.

Captain John is very methodical about his business to get things done just right before the trip begins so that you have a good day of fishing. While on the water, he continually monitors the action and moves when necessary to maximize fishing results. Fishing with Captain John and his Reel Fun Fishing charter is just that: Real fun fishing!

"I have been fishing with Capt John for three years and I can tell you that he is the real deal. Capt John is extremely knowledgeable, a talented seaman and devoted to his craft . He is above all else dedicated to making each trip a memorable enjoyable and safe experience. He is a wonderful and kind teacher to those just learning about fishing and has the experience to teach those who are more knowledgeable some new "tricks" to pull in the big ones. The rods, reels and tackle are first class and his "mates" are pleasant, helpful and motivated. He is always enthusiastic and goes the extra yard to put his clients "on the fish" (which can really make a difference when the fish are scarce).
More than once Capt John has called me to warn that the weather or seas were so unfavorable that I would be throwing my money away going out --few captains would be so caring at their own expense. Reel Fun is aptly named for Capt John's boat - because real fun is what you will have if you go out with him."

Captain John,

"Just wanted to let you know, we all had a great time fishing with you and Mark on Sunday. All the guys said to me, that they really enjoyed the trip. You definitely run a first class charter service, and also know the waters and how to fish! I will spread the word about Reel Fun Charters. We all hope to fish with you again in the future."

Thanks again,
Bill Kuczewski

Captain John,

"Just a note to express our thanks again on a great trip with you and Mark last week...we all had a blast and you guys made it a really special memory...and the fish were tasty too!!! See you soon"

Captain John,

" I just wanted to thank you again for making our trip so delightful.. This was going to be one of the best memories that my dad and I have will have. My daughter still has bragging rights to this day!!! She wants to have her birthday on the boat with you guys!! She loved Mark the mate… I got back the photos and my daughter has a perm-a-smile in every photo! This was the best fishing trip that I have been on… I want to plan a trip when the "door-mats" are in… Well again thanks for making this trip the most enjoyable trip ever. This tops the trip my dad and I did in the Bahamas… Stay safe and see you soon..."

Capt John,

Just wanted to take a minute to say thanks again for a great trip. My son in-law is still bragging about catching the big one (OK...a 6 pounder is a nice fluke). All in all a very good day fishing...better yet everyone got to bring home a few keepers. It's always nice to fish with someone who knows what they are doing. Learning a few new tips doesn't hurt either (never fished with sea robins as bait before). See you next summer.

Thanks again,
Keith Wakefield

Reel Fun is the best charter I have used in Sandy Hook. John has always found us fish and when my sons were young he was extremely patient with them. His boat is clean and very well maintained and the equipment is first class. My youngest, now 20, still looks forward to our fishing trips with John every summer.

My father, two sons and I have been fishing with Captain John every year for the last 4 years and keep coming back for more. Captain John is a true professional with a high regard for the safety of his boat as well as the fish he brings on board. We find his fishing reports to be up front and accurate. If the fishing is good, he lets you know. If the fishing is not good, he lets you know. Reel Fun Sportfishing is a first class operation and we would gladly recommend Captain John to anyone interested in a serious fishing experience.

Karl Lens

After spending more than 40 years in the Raritan Bay/Sandy Hook area, I have had the opportunity to meet many fisherman, recreational and professional. Its refreshing to see Captain John's approach of his charter business. It has always been run professionally and driven by his knowledge and experience of fishing New Jersey waters. In an industry that is full of challenges, it's easy to see Reel Fun Sportfishing is not a "sideline" for Captain John, it is his passion and proves it everyday.

After a long hiatus from fishing, my friends and I were lucky to find Captain John and Reel Fun Sportfishing! We fished with Capt John on a number of occasions last year and everything, from the tackle, equipment and bait, to the friendly and experienced mates, made each trip a fun experience. And Capt John WILL find you fish - your job is just to catch them!!! I can honesty say that "top class service and professionalism" are the perfect words to describe the experience. And the new "open boat" program is going to fit perfectly into our needs. We look forward to many more trips this season.

Captain John,

I just wanted to thank you again for an awesome fishing trip. It was my first trip with my husband and uncle but I have been going fishing with my dad for the last 5 years and the trip on your boat was the best trip we have ever had. Your knowledge was very much appreciated. The mate Chris was also extremely attentive and patient.

Thanks again,
Jennifer Carney
