Jenae Valk•
New ZealandMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic family friendly charter
Full Day Trip on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had the most fantastic day out with Mark. We had our 4yo and 8yo with us and I was worried the 8 hour day would be too long but Mark keeps the pace going and has many options up his sleeve if needed e.g finding a place to stop and explore the beaches. In terms of the actual fishing... Amazing! The 7ft sturgeon was an experience we'll never forget.

Full Day Trip on August 3, 2026 • 2 adultsCaught a giant close to 9 feet. Legendary bucket list catch. Rest of the day was slow but Captain Mark was extremely helpful and tried very hard to get us another fish. Awesome day on the water and would totally reccomend.

Cole SweeneyRepeat angler•Tennessee, US•Member since 20234 trips4.3VerifiedSlow but fun
Full Day Trip on May 9, 2025 • 2 adultsWas definitely not an action packed day. It was a slow start but when we finally were able to catch two sturgeon it made the wait worth it. Captain did everything he could to get us the fish even though they were being very picky and not wanting to eat.

Despite the "slow" fishing, which can be prevalent at the time of year we booked, the captain went all out and we explored every spot up and dow the river, every bait combo, until we found some substantially sized fish that decided to bite! Great work on Mark!
thanks
