    Captain Mark started out targeting trout, the trout were not having it! Capt Mark adjusted and we slayed the Red Fish. Captain Mark was very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly, if your looking at this you will be glad you selected him! Thank you Captain Mark, when we get bavk in the area we will book with you again.

    Very good trip even right after the tropical storm

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Captain Mark is very experienced. We caught multiple fish the day after the tropical storm went through, including some large redfish, flounder and black drum. Matagorda Bay is a little bit of heaven on earth. I highly recommend Captain Mark.

    it was a tough day. we caught a lot of fish but unfortunately most were short. Mark worked hard all day trying to find bigger fish. You cant make them bite. We’ll be going again.
