Captain had to push the time back do to storms coming through. We didnt catch as many fish we wanted to the bite was funny the wind was no in our favor but by the end of the night Captain put us on some nice fish we all laughed and had a good time including Captain would definitely recommend Captain Mark for anyone looking for a fishing trip

Mark Lawson really made the trip for us. The day was not great, weatherwise, but his upbeat personality and competency had us on enough fish that it was not only fun but we had a cooler full of fish.

Captain Mark was friendly and knowledgeable. When he found out the kids have never been catfishing he spent extra time ensuring they had a great time. Before we started he said they were biting slow but he would try his best, we put over 30 on the boat and missed at least a dozen more, if that is slow can’t wait to see them bitting.
