CUSTOMER FEEDBACK:
1. On my recent visit to New Orleans it was significantly colder than expected. Upon my arrival. I started to fear that my fishing opportunities would possibly get extinguished by the weather. Once I learned the forecast for Sunday, February 14th I wanted to book a boat. My initial inquiry on Sunday was to see if there was a cancellation, as I was told everything was booked. Thank you Jim for returning my calls.
I found John Iverson to be very nice, super competent and overall an excellent Fishing Guide. He made me feel comfortable and welcome. After my successful fishing with John and feeling supported and safe I thought it made the most sense to book another day requesting John as my Fishing Guide. Had I known in advance how much I was going to enjoy the fishing I would have booked a third day.
In conclusion, my experience was exceptional. Please relay my thanks to John. Also, please note that the Chef at GW Fins agreed to cook my Redfish the last night of my visit. The Chef greeted me at the entrance and offered, unsolicited, to serve three different preparations, all were amazing. I called all around the city and GW Fins was the only place willing to cook the fish.
I hope to visit New Orleans again in the next year, I am not certain which month. But I know for sure I look forward to fishing with Uptown Anglers again! Thanks!
Sincerely,
Nancy Anabel Mason
2. John, thanks again for putting me "in the picture"! I had a great time all three days. I'm looking forward to returning and doing it again. Thanks for your patience, and help with my casting. I'll remember "I am from Pennsylvania".
Best of everything to you,
John Strawser
3. John, thanks for the spectacular day of fishing. I can't believe we caught 25 fish - and good ones at that. The marshes are beautiful and its a great way to spend a day on the water. You were very patient and I learned a lot during the outing.
My casting (as you pointed out!) improved dramatically thanks to your coaching. The 'game contact' experience was invaluable and best of all the whole trip was just plain fun. I have a list of friends who now want to come down to New Orleans to go fishing, so hopefully we'll get to do it again soon. Stay in touch.
Regards,
Dan (Seymour)
