James Nichols Striper Guide Service Testimonials

I have been fishing with James since 1993 and we try to make at least one annual trip for some of the best fishing and scenery you could ever imagine. There are many things that cannot be controlled such as weather, moon phase, lake levels, but the one thing you can count on with James is an upbeat personality and 110% effort to get fish in the boat. When your wife asks you "When do we get to go fishing again with James?", You know he is doing something right, so enough said. I encourage anyone looking for a great relaxing fishing experience to give James a call and you will not be disappointed. In addition, this is a great event for your Co-Workers to show them appreciation for a job well done and I highly recommend this. The Mockingbird Resort is an excellent place to book your rooms for large groups and James will pick you up right at the dock.

Jim & Roxanne,
Thanks so much for a very enjoyable day fishing. Jerry and I had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed your company. We especially appreciate your professional manner and the way you made us feel welcome.

I started fishing with Jim in 1985 with my father. I always have a great time and Jim always sees to it that we catch as many fish as we can handle. He got me hooked onto a Hybrid a couple of years ago that was just ounces under that year's lake record. The trips to Norfork Lake get better with each passing year, and I have to admit that it is solely due to Jim's service.

I’m what you call a “fair weather” fisherman. The weather needs to be perfect, and the fish need to be biting. I’ve been with Jim on beautiful days and freezing cold days, but he always finds the fish and keeps me interested. I, of course, like the pretty days the best, but Jim always strives to keep me comfortable and make it fun. Not only do we catch a bunch of fish, but Jim makes memories that I’ll never forget. Thanks Jim for all the great fishing trips, I’m looking forward to many more! In the warm weather of course…..

Fishing is not my first choice of a vacation, but the trip I made with my boyfriend to see Jim was an eye-opener. It was really enjoyable and exciting. It will not be as hard of a sell next time, I guarantee it.

I visited Arkansas last year under the advice of some friends. I can officially say I am sold on Norfork Lake and Jim's fishing talents. It is well worth the long trip.
