I'm Captain Mark, and I’ve been chasing trophy fish across North and Central America since I was 12 years old and sportfishing for over 50 years. Caught Peacock Bass in Panama; Groupers, Red Snapper, and Tarpon in Florida; Musky, Pike, Walleye, and Smallmouth Bass in Canada; Walleye, Steelhead, and Perch on Lake Erie; as well as Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and King Salmon on Lake Ontario. I bought my 35’ Viking Sport Cruiser 4 years ago and have been targeting trophy Walleye and Steelhead across Lake Erie. I want to share my passion for fishing with others, and I particularly enjoy teaching charters.

Fishing - Half Day Trip on July 12, 2024

Half day with Captain Mark

I'm a complete novice that, remembering the fun I had fishing with MY Dad, tried to introduce my kids to fishing. They MIGHT have had fun but it was an exercise in frustration for me as I tried to remember all the important stuff and pass it, like tying knots, untangling line snarls, and setting a hook when getting a bite. Captain Mark's charter fishing was like night and day compared to that. Instead of bobber fishing we were trolling lines, and without his expertise I had no way of knowing...

3 hours and a 6 man limit!!!

Mark is an exceptional captain and fisherman. We went out for a charter and boy did we get on some fish. We caught our 6 man limit in 3 hours, and we caught some hogs too. We caught 2-7lbs and some 6 and 5lbs aswell. These guys know where the fish are, they are very well mannered and treat you like family. They are extremely accommodating aswell. Heck they even have coffee on the boat. Best fishing trip I've ever had. I know that we can't wait to go again! Thanks guys for an amazing trip.

What the listing policies are

Pickup not included

Transfer to/from departure site is not included in trip rates.

Child Friendly

This is a very kid friendly boat - the gunwales are very tall (approx 4'), and once aboard, kids should stay there. I recommend for children under the age of 12 to bring a life jacket that they should wear (an overabundance of caution).
