    Amazing day fishing.

    6 Hour Bottom Fishing Trip • 3 adults

    Thank you Captain Mark for a great day fishing, We will definitely book again in the near future. Caught a lot of fish, literally once the bait reach the bottom we hooked a fish, not all keepers but it was awesome. caught multiple sharks( what a fight ). snappers, Triggerfish, pinfish, like 10 Remoras. I will recommend this charter to anyone. All you have to do is show up and Captain Mark will take care of everything.

    Great day of fishing!

    6 Hour Bottom Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    We booked the 6 hour bottom fishing trip and had a great time. Captain Mark was extremely knowledgeable, knew all the good spots, and had great technology on the boat. We hooked an 8ft bull shark but we cut her loose when she got close to the boat, but the prize of the trip was a 54” Cobia. My son had quite a workout pulling it up, but it was well worth it! We will definitely go fishing with Captain Mark and Steve again! Great guys, great knowledge, great experience! Thanks for everything!!

    Reported catch:

    Good experience

    6 Hour Bottom Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    Captain very knowledgeable and willing to make needed adjustments to make trip a success. Boat of adequate size and very well equipped for the range and type of fishing. The captain was very safe to conscience and kept himself aware of weather conditions with the very appropriate equipment on the boat for communications, the location, fish finding, and prevailing weather. I would highly recommend him for a great day on the water!

    Reported catch:
    Cobia
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Mutton Snapper
    Vermilion Snapper

    Half day with Capt. Mark (the shark)

    6 Hour Bottom Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    We started our morning by meeting with Capt. Mark / Phil at Marks house. We loaded our cooler into boat, and hopped into his truck. The drive to the boat landing was just long enough to build the excitement. Once in the water we made our way to the reef. Capt. Mark got to work getting our rods ready to go and turned on the trolling motor to keep us in place. We dropped our lines in not know what we would bite. As it turned out, it was a lot of 6inch fish called grunts, affectationately named for the sound they make. They were fun to catch but it was clear we needed to move to another area. Once moved we were about 10 miles off shore. We were catching sand perch, grunts, and my son reeled in a triggerfish. Mark caught a 3 foot shark he grabbed that sucker with an iron grip and pulled the hook and sent it back to the water. Phil reeled in a couple red snappers and a half grunt (chomped by a shark) It was awesome!! We moved on from there and the fishing only got better. At the last spot I reeled in two red snappers, a grouper, and some grunts. My son got a second triggerfish and a shark was on his line and pulling hard for 10 seconds then cut the line. It was amazing. Phil got a couple more red snappers and capt. Mark got two more sharks!!!! When we returned from our trip Mark filleted the fish we kept. So all in all it was an fantastic day of fishing that my son and I will remember forever. It's all thanks to Capt. Mark

    We came in from West Virginia and took a fishing trip with Captain Mark. It was my 15 year old son first time and he caught a 35inch king mackerel. We had a great time and will be going again in the future.

    I took a mom and her 2 adult sons out fishing yesterday. We went out to the snapper hole 12miles NE of fort pierce inlet. The water temp was 81 degrees. Seas were 2 foot to start and we had a strong current needed to use 12 ounces of lead to hold bottom. We hit 3 spots in that area using my minkota I-Pilot to anchor us electronically. We caught a lot of grunts and a couple f trigger fish. I decided to move a couple of miles north. The current was significantly less and we were able to drop to 8 ounces of lead to hold bottom. Seas also flattened out as the day went one. In the end we had 6 nice size trigger fish, we released a nice size Reed snapper, and mom caught a Bonita on the bottom.

    I took a couple out to the snapper hole yesterday. They mentioned they would love to catch large barracudas so I stopped at the rock pile en route to the snapper hole They caught some lane snappers there as well as a large barracuda from there we went to the north end of the snapper hole where they caught Black sea bass, vermilion snapper and trigger fish. On the way home we stopped at the rock pile again and caught and released 2 more barracudas Captain Mark Rosen

    My children and I had a great time with captain Rosen today on the water. He was waiting and ready to go when we arrived. Promptly we headed for the ramp and after putting in, headed out for his first fishing spot. Soon our lines were taut and we started pulling grunts from the bottom. Every time the action slowed, our captain was quick to make a move and keep the fishing going. In addition to the grunts, we caught trigger fish and snapper (vermillion). Also, he kept a couple of lines out for whatever wanted to take our bait. The highlight of the trip came when a cobia started swimming around the boat. Without wasting time, captain Rosen had a rig ready for it, and we saw how the fish took the bait and ran with it. The fight was on! Clearing most lines out of the water, we started fighting the fish, until it tangled in one of the lines laying out. Fortunately we managed to clear the tangle and continued fighting the fish until we got it close enough to gaff it and bring it in. 50 inches and 40 lbs! While all this is happening, something bit one of the lines out and started swimming away. I picked up that rod then and started reeling in. I worked that line hard for about 15 minutes, but eventually broke off. Whatever it was, it was something big. Captain Rosen was a great fishing guide today. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and ready to assist all of us on whatever we needed. All in all, a great day on the water.

What's biting with Port St Lucie Fishing Charters in Port St. Lucie

How about a Thanksgiving gift to remember? Head offshore and fish for Kingfish, Cero Mackerel, Bonito, and Sailfish. They sometimes show up only a mile from the coast. When the ocean is flat, you can also get Wahoo and Mahi.
