    Had a great time!

    Night trips • 4 adults

    My three buddies and I had a great time with Captain Mark. we caught a bunch of catfish and enjoyed every minute of the trip. We’re already thinking about the next trip but this time, my wife wants to go! Our ages ranged from 76 to 49. We did the 6 pm-2 am trip and were tired at the end but would do it again.
