    My Sons Birthday gift

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Marks knowledgeable and easygoing. Explains safety. Boat is comfortable. 4 hrs was more than enough. We caught 3 Heafty sized walleye on Lake Erie last hour and half. Mark Got us to the Fish ! It was our first time out in the open water but won’t be our last . We learned so much about the sport with Mark and really enjoyed ourselves. Mark also cleaned and filet our walleye for us and we brought home our catch! Mark provides all needed just bring yourself, your company and get ready to catch fish and enjoy.

    . As always, it was a great trip. A little bumpy on the big lake, but we still, managed to put some fish in the boat.

    Caught some nice smallmouth with some sheepshead thrown in. The new boat is exceptionally nice. Very smooth and very well equipped. Can't wait to do it again!!

    This was my third trip with Captain Mark and the first for my 13-year-old daughter. He is a safe and professional boater and knows how to get fish. We had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year!

    My 2nd year fishing with Caption Mark and we are already planning for next season ! I do many fishing charters a year for all different species across NY and PA....this Charter is by far one of my favorites ! Caption Mark knows his equipment and fishery like the back of his hand and not only gets you on fish but teaches you at the same time ! He's a pleasure to fish with ! Bring your kids, bring your family this is one relaxing great time ! The fact that we have had a 3 man limit 2 years straight before 11am is just a bonus to the amazing trip !

    We had a great day with Captain Mark and caught a lot of fish. Since a storm was coming in, we couldn’t go to deep water, but he still put us on fish. My 11 year old son had a blast. Can’t wait to cook up the Walleye!

    Captain Mark was knowledgeable and friendly. He worked hard to give us opportunities to catch fish, was a wealth of knowledge about fishing and Lake Erie. I would highly recommend Captain Mark for anyone looking to experience fishing on Lake Erie.
