Jim Roten – Cookeville TN: “When I signed up for Captain Jim’s on the water fishing training, I reviewed the list of available subjects and chose what I believed would be best for me and how I fish. We actually ended up going thru a lot more than the subjects I chose. What I really enjoyed about the training Captain Jim provided was his great attention to detail and his vast knowledge about reading the fish finder side scan and down imaging, the 3 D mode and the GPS, as well as how to better use my trolling motor. His live bait, casting and trolling techniques and instruction really have helped me a lot. As a person who has fished for years, I learned all kinds of new things and insider guide tricks that I am now using today. He was very patient with me, listening to all my questions and providing answers to me in a way that I could easily understand. I would recommend this fishing training course to anyone.
