Top Notch Service - Top Notch Experience - Unbelievable Fun
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 8, 20251 adult

Mark Crutcher provides a top notch experience that is head and shoulders above the rest. I have hired several Clear Lake trips and I will not go back to anyone but Mark, from now on. Mark not only provides an amazing service, but he's an incredible person, with a wealth of Pro Tourney experience. Mark provides the highest quality equipment, including snacks & water, and a wealth of knowledge. Mark not only stands out from the rest, in the level of service provided, but also is a stand-out based on his mild kind demeanor, and amicable personality. Not only did we catch fish all day long, but we had some great conversations and I learned so much about bass fishing in general, the bass fishing pro circuits, and he helped me tremendously with various techniques. I would recommend you consider Mark for your Clear Lake fishing trip. He will provide a full experience you will not soon forget.

Great fisherman, great guy
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 29, 20262 adults

I had a great time with Mark searching for bass at Clearlake! Mark taught me how to be a better bass fisherman, how to drive a bass boat, and use some different lures, techniques and a baitcaster (which I'm new to). I grew up with spinning reels, but briefly made time to go over some basics on baitcasting. I appreciated the company, friendliness, and got to see a huge 7 lb bass caught!

Best Fishing Day Ever!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 13, 20252 adults

Absolutely incredible experience! My stepfather and I agreed this was the best fishing trip of our lives. We caught over 40 bass! No exaggeration! There were moments when we were casting and catching nonstop. Mark Crutcher was an outstanding guide... professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a phenomenal day on the water. Highly, highly recommend Mark Crutcher Fishing! Can’t wait to go again!

40+ fish day
Full Day Trip on March 5, 20262 adults

The day started slow but Mark continued to work to figure out the pattern that paid off. It wasn't the points, it wasn't the creeks, wasn't the tulli! It was the walls and rocks for a 40 fish day! Mark put his all into it to make it a great day. Thanks see you in May for another great lesson day on Clear Lake.
