My three buddies and I had a great time with Captain Mark. we caught a bunch of catfish and enjoyed every minute of the trip. We’re already thinking about the next trip but this time, my wife wants to go! Our ages ranged from 76 to 49. We did the 6 pm-2 am trip and were tired at the end but would do it again.
We had an awesome time. We caught enough fish to fill a 120qt cooler. Captain Mark was very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Captain Mark even helped entertain our grandson.
