If you want a fantastic fishing experience, do yourself a favor and book a trip with John Maner! You'll be fishing from a current year model Triton bass boat with the latest electronics, and fishing with the latest rods, reels and lures just like the pros use. From a beginner to a seasoned veteran, John is the man you want to spend your money and time with. John is not only a professional guide, he's a professional people person, too. He's the kind of guy you'd want for a next door neighbor. Believe me when I tell you this ... at the end of the day, you'll want to tip John for the experience; and you should!

If you are looking for a great day of fishing with a great guide/guy then book with John. I got my son and husband an 8 hour trip for a Christmas present and they loved it. They both caught lots of fish and enjoyed talking and learning about the lake with John. Great fishing trip

John Maner is an absolutely amazing guide!!! He was very professional and kept us on fish all day. I think we caught 54 bass. I highly recommend him and will definitely be back to fish with him again. He has very nice equipment. Top notch all the way!!! Appreciate a great day on the water today Mr. John!!’

We fished for the 2nd year in a row on Lake Guntersville John and caught around 30 fish total. John is an excellent guide and a lot of fun to be around and knows where the fish are at. Go schedule you a trip today with John and trust me you will have a blast and will be glad you did so

Second time fishing with John and he once again went above and beyond to help us have the time of our life. He flat knows his stuff but above that he is just a awesome guy to be around. If you didn’t catch a fish all day you’d still have an awesome time with him that’s the type guy he is. I can say with the utmost confidence if you book with John you will have a ball!

I have never been bass fishing before my friends and I went out with John Maner at 5:30 one morning in May. Some say it was a "blue bird day" for fishing, in other words not such a good day for catching fish. John knew exactly where to take us in his great boat and he patiently guided me on the basics of casting and catching a bass. After about three casts, John handed me the pole and I began to do the things he had suggested. WHAM! I almost went overboard and after a tug-of-war and help by John, we pulled in a 6 lb bass. SOOO excited! We caught about 12 before we asked John to take us around the lake just to see a few things. It was a fabulous experience.
I'll never forget the sound of that casting when someone like John knows what he's doing. You couldn't find a better guide and fisherman.

I had the pleasure of booking a trip with Captain John. Let me say it was a blast. You will not be disappointed if you book a trip with him believe me. He can teach you a lot and show you different techniques. Anyone who wants to come and fish the Big G for fun, pleasure, or practicing for a tournament needs to fish with Captain John.

If your looking to go fishing John is the man to go with ! We have fished with him several times and it's always a great trip ! We have caught a lot of fish and always enjoy talking with John. Very professional but at the same time down to earth.

Most the time December is one of my favorite months. We catch some really big fish that time of year but as always the weather can be the determining factor

Will John provide the boat? I have vacation rentals and I have a guest asking for a guide with a boat.
Written May 31, 2018
Yes, John will host with a state-of-the-art bass boat, safety gear, and all the rods, lures, and tackle you could possibly want. Bring lunch and a fishing licence. Highly recommended!

It will be good. A warming trend could make it great. Book a trip with John Maner for a guaranteed good time.
