Mark Strickland

Member since March 2023 Crystal River, United States
Background
I grew up just a town away from Crystal River, and my family bought a house on the water when I was 14 years old. That’s when I got my first boat, and I’ve been fishing ever since. My goal is always to ensure a fun and safe time on the water for my guests. No matter your experience level, all are welcome!
Techniques
I enjoy several different fishing styles from inshore for trout and redfish throwing artificial and live bait to trolling and bottom fishing for grouper. And of course cooling off during the hot months with scalloping
