Illinois, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedA bit of everything!
Inshore off shore combo • 2 adultsMy son and I had a great time with Captain Mark. Trout, Grouper, Snook, Redfish, Flounder and more... a very successful day of fishing due to the captain's knowledge of the area. Meeting him and getting on the boat couldn't have been more convenient. Highly recommend!
Response from Captainthanks for the review. we had a great time on the water for sure

Full Day Trip - MAX 4 People • 2 adultsThe fishing conditions were less than ideal, however Captain Mark used his vast experience to find us plenty of keeper fish. Other less experienced guides were struggling to put any fish in the boat. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good fishing experience.
Response from Captainthanks for review Jeffrey. It was worked for sure, but we got her done. 
Therese (Terri) BurleyRepeat anglerFlorida, US•Member since 2024•2 trips5.0VerifiedWhat a GREAT Captain!
Full Day Trip - MAX 4 People • 2 adultsCaptain 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.

Phillip MasiFlorida, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat trip, even on a hot day.
Half Day Trip (AM) - 4 Anglers Max • 3 adultsWe 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 Captainit was a great day for sure.
