Johnny Barlow comes to us from the South.  You’ll hear it in his twang! He spent his youth fishing the lakes in Northern GA, and the Gulf Coast in Panama City Florida.  As a young man, Johnny started working for a large printing company, International Paper.  With tenacity and grit, Johnny put in 23+ years at International Paper, leaving as a successful Project Manager. Northern Michigan was calling Johnny’s wife Megan, home.  It just so happens that Megan, is Captain Cam’s daughter!   They made the move, in tow with their son Greyson, the Junior Captain. Johnny quickly became the missing link on the Showtime, and joined the team as the First Mate.  Family is always first.  One day, Johnny will pilot the Showtime, keeping her in the family.  Who knows, maybe even Greyson will be promoted to THE Captain!

From Captain Cam:  It’s exciting for me to have my son-in-law,  Johnny, aboard the Showtime, as her new Captain.  Having a knowledgeable angler always make the charter fishing experience better for all. It’s special to me, when my guest anglers can see and feel the great duo Johnny and I have become.  I know these waters like the back of my hand.  It gives me great pride to pass this on to Johnny.  My best trout spots, the different banks, and deep drop offs. 

Johnny is also a great teacher.  He is wonderful with my young anglers.  Putting a young boy on his first trout or salmon is his specialty!  I know everyone who boards the Showtime will enjoy having Johnny as part of this team, as much as I do.  Maybe even Greyson one day!
