Member since January 2020 St. Petersburg, United States
Background
Captain Mark Lyons grew up fishing the Great Lakes region, specifically Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. He's run charters in the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Tampa Bay area where he currently owns and operates Lyons Charter. His favorite part of the job is being able to meet people from all walks of life, hear about their previous fishing adventures, and hopefully create some new ones.
Techniques
"Fishing is such a diverse activity that offers something for everyone. Though patience is required, I prefer trolling and targeting larger game fish whenever possible." –Capt. Mark
