We’ve had numerous guided trips before and Captain Mark is by far the best. Before the trip he was very responsive and communicative, which made our trip preparation easy and stress free. He was prepared for the trip as he was there early, already having caught fresh bait, with numerous rigs already setup, and was sitting on his boat waiting on us to arrive. He was knowledgeable about the lake and the habits and tendencies of the fish - he knew where to be. Beyond all that he was friendly and very helpful. He ensured we all had a good time. He always assisted us when we got hung up and he even told us where his favorite stump on Santee is!!! It was easy to tell that Captain Mark is passionate about fishing and that he genuinely wanted us to catch fish and have a good time. He stayed later than scheduled to ensure we were able to go home with cleaned fish. From start to finish Captain Mark ran a first class experience. We had a great trip because Captain Mark is a great guide - can’t recommend him strongly enough.

Oh my gosh! Where do I even begin?! Captain Mark was so sweet and knowledgeable! Right from the start he was so welcoming and helpful, this was a trip for my son’s birthday & boy was it worth it! We had several catches in the boat before 7AM! We enjoyed going to the honey spots and reeling in some big Cats! After a full day on the water, Captain was so kind as to educate us on how to fillet our catches of the day! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thanks so much Capt. Mark & your sweet Daisy for welcoming our huge family!

What a great trip.  We were hunting for monsters and found some.  The biggest we landed was 60 pounds and one that got away was probably bigger.  Captain Mark really went above and beyond to make sure my boys were on some fish.  I highly recommend him and look forward to my next charter with him.

Mark was simply awesome.  My wife and three daughters 3, 9, and 10 had the time of their lives reeling in 20 lb blue cats.  His knowledge is second to none and went out of his way to accommodate.  We were traveling and had no way to haul a large cooler full of fish so he filleted them as we went and sent us home with our catch in ziplock bags.  Thank you Mark for making memories with us!

We had the pleasure of spending a day with Captain Mark and Ms Daisy while in Santee.  The weather was not that cooperative but Captain Mark had an enclosure to keep the wind off us while we headed out to fish.  We caught at least 11 Catfish which we had cleaned.  He worked tirelessly to ensure we continued to catch fish and have a good time.  I would definitely recommend this charter and will book with him again on our next visit to Santee.  Thank you Captain Mark for helping us make great memories 😁
