    Amazing Experience

    6 Hour Trip – Local Lakes Catfish • 2 adults

    Captain Mark asked me what my goals were for the trip when we scheduled the appointment. I told him I wanted to get catfish to make fish nuggets for my daughter. Captain Mark said Hueston Woods is where we wanted to go for that. We caught 23 of the healthiest catfish I've ever seen. Captain Mark also taught my family who are newer to fishing a lot but also made sure I was learning quite a bit as I have been fishing for a long time but never have trolled like we did and am self taught so there is a lot of gaps in my knowledge. When the bite slowed down midday we had great conversation between bites. Easily one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. Captain Mark is knowledgeable, kind, fun, and an excellent conversationalist. I would recommend Wild Cat Guide Service and Captain Mark to anyone. Regardless of experience or age, Mark will make sure everyone has a great time.

    10 out of 10 definitely booking again in the future

    6 Hour Trip – Local Lakes Catfish • 2 adults

    First time booking a trip with Captin Mark and let me tell you he did not disappoint. He put us on the fish. We left with a bunch of eaters for the freezer and we caught our biggest catfish ever almost 11 pounder for me and a eight pounder for my lady 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Captin Mark for your fishing trips. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future.  also great trip to book for beginners. He taught us a lot.

    Response from Captain

    thanks for the kind words! look forward to fish with you two again!!

    Couldn’t ask for a better day

    8 Hour Trip – Ohio River Catfish • 2 adults

    Captain Mark is incredibly knowledgeable in both catfishing and the ins and outs of the Ohio river shipping lanes. My son and I learned a lot and had a great time. Caught some really nice fish due to the captains extra effort and knowledge. Will fish with him again.

    Response from Captain

    thanks so much for the kind words! enjoyed the day and look forward to fishing with you and your son again !!
