Captain Mark picked us up on time and we went straight to a fishing spot and started catching. When it slowed down here immediately took us to a second spot where we again immediately caught Fish. I would highly recommend Captain Marc if you’re going to be fishing near Fort Myers Beach.
Great day on the water with Captain Mark! Will book with Flat Top in the future for sure!
Weather was horrible but captain mark made every accommodation for us. He really knows his stuff. Thank you mark! See you again soon!
My friend and I had a great half day trip with captain Mark. He was the best captain I have booked on fishing booker. Friendly and helpful - but never condescending. 😊. A pleasure to be around and to fish with. Put us on a lot of snook and some sea trout and other species thrown in. Mark knows his waters and how to find the fish. Thanks for a great day. 🎣 🐠 🐟
