    Brett was a great host and made sure we had a wonderful time! He put us right on the fish! We had an awesome day! I had the privilege of my son, grandson and his son together (four generations) making lifelong memories. We may have set a record by catching 13 sturgeon in one day from about three feet long to one that was 92 inches. I highly recommend Jones Sport Fishing to anyone who is interested in making a memory of a lifetime.

    We had a great day out on the water with Barry who was our phenomenal guide. He was extremely professional and driven to make the day memorable for us. We caught two sturgeon throughout the day in mid-June, our biggest catch over 7ft. Feeling one of these big fish on the line is unexplainable, you gotta try it for yourself! During down time we had a good time fishing small mouth bass in the canyon. Highly recommend booking with Jones fishing, may suggest going earlier in the season, but otherwise a great day out on the water making memories with the family.

    We joined Jones Sport Fishing for a great weekend of fishing. Seven of us, all the guys in my family had an amazing time. Our two guides Brett and Robbie worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a great time and caught fish. Catching Sturgeon was one of the most memorable experiences for all of us. I highly recommend this company!

    These guys are fantastic! Joe Weisner was our guide for a sturgeon trip on C.J. Strike Reservoir. He is extremely knowledgeable about the sturgeon in the reservoir and really set us up for success. You can tell he really enjoys his job and makes sure everyone gets the most out of the day. We landed four sturgeon, three of which were over 7 feet, and hooked into two more. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm sure we'll be back!
