"Thanks again for my first redfish on the flyrod. Great day. Great guide. Great friend. Great result." -John Heinzelman

"I have fished all over the world with dozens of different guides, and Capt. John Kumiski would have to rate as one of the best. He is knowledgeable, patient, and skillful. My son and I will never forget catching in one morning on fly rods two redfish weighing a total of 40 pounds." -Michael Barnett

"Even with the cold temps Capt.Kumiski was able to find lots of fish for me to cast to...and I even managed to hook a few; 2 reds and a nice trout. John is a great guide and an interesting conversationalist, definitely a lot of fun to spend time with while catching some fish." -Dave Azar
