    What a GREAT Captain!

    Full Day Trip - MAX 4 People • 2 adults

    Captain Mark was a VERY good choice for us. His knowledge of the waters in and around Crystal River was extensive. WEe caught fish, and, yes, evan a Pelican that was released safely with no harm. Capt. Mark shared his expertise and his favorite fish stories that entertained us all day. The members in our party are avid and experienced fishing people, and ALL of us were VERY satisfied and WILL be returning to him again.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Redfish

    Great trip, even on a hot day.

    Half Day Trip (AM) - 4 Anglers Max • 3 adults

    We took the morning trip with Capt Mark. He's a really nice guy and guide. We could tell from the radio that other boats were not catching much (wind stopped, tides went slack) but our boat was consistently catching until near the end.

    Response from Captain

    it was a great day for sure.
