    Fishing with Mark

    3/4 Day Trip2 adults

    Capt. Mark worked hard to teach trout fisherman to switch to saltwater fly fishing. Not many fish the day we were with him. Not because he didn’t try, but as I talked to other fishermen, no one what catching much the day we fishing. “That’s fishing.” Hope to fish again with Capt. Mark.

    Two full day trips with Captain Mark

    Full Day Trip1 adult

    Awesome guide. I had done quite a bit of fly fishing with 4wt and below rods. Captain Mark had me casting an 8wt and 11wt in no time. It is a different game with the heavier rods. He also taught me how to chose the right color fly. He also put me on a lot of fish. I hooked my fist tarpon every, he had different plans about coming to the boat and made a run South and never turned around. Best two days fishing I have had in a long time, awesome trip! Thanks Captain Mark!
