Reel Bolivar Fishing Guide
Running angling trips out of Bolivar Peninsula, Reel Bolivar Fishing Guide invites you to check out the local fishery in style.
Capt. Mark is the #1 reviewed guide in crystal beach with over 600 5 star reviews ! Depending on the trip and species, you'll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and popping corks amd lures. Lots of casting!!! You're looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you'll usually go after the likes of Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sheapshead and Tripletail, depending on the weather and time of year.
Your adventure begins on board a 25' Haynie boat that can fit a maximum of 5 anglers. The boat is fitted with a wireless trolling motor. Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of your trip. Don't forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!
The price of a given trip doesn't include bait. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so. ( i only use bait a couple months out of the year . Usually in the heart of summer. If we need it ill let you know)
We do not sit and fish dead bait on bottom. We will be casting the entire time. Never casted a reel? No problem as long as you are willing to listen and try. You will be standing and fishing most of the time. Its like salt water bass fishing. Ill clean and bag any legal fish we catch.

Spoke with Mark the day before and he said that that day was a windy/hard day of fishing and stated he would understand if we preferred to postpone our trip to another date with better weather (post Isaias winds/tides). I replied that we would keep the reservation and wing it. I could complain and say that we didn't catch "as many fish as we normally do with Mark"... however we still wound up bringing home our 3-man limit of (keeper) reds.. Moral of the story, a "rough day of fishing" with Mark is still the equivalent of a 'phenomenal day of fishing' with any other guide.
as always well written, you’re the man looking forward to cool weather and five star fishing 
Captain Mark gave our family an amazing fishing charter experience! Our group included a senior, two adults, and two children (ages 7 and 9), and he did a fantastic job making sure everyone was comfortable, engaged, and having fun. He met each of us at our own level of experience, was patient, respectful, kind, and professional throughout the trip. We highly recommend Captain Mark to anyone looking for a great fishing charter and would definitely book with him again!
thansk so much. i enjoyed fishing with your family
We had different skill levels on the boat and Mark was patient and willing teach. I smacked Mark in the face with a fishing rod (hard) and the rod went overboard, Mark never lost his cool. The entire crew was impressed with Captain Mark. We look forward to our next trip.
thank you so much for the awesome review. I really enjoyed fishing with you guys. The smack in the face just kept me on my toes lol
Captain Mark went well above and beyond the time we paid for. He made sure my son caught a fish, listened attentively to me, my father-in-law, and my brother-in-law for three hours, and took us to multiple locations. He kept up great conversation, was incredibly patient with all of us, and even let us bring whatever we wanted on the boat. He’s an outstanding captain. Thank you, Mark!
thank you so much…. had a great time with y’all!
Excellent trip with Mark. He always finds the fish no matter the conditions.
