Background
Hi, I’m Captain Mark Allen. I’m a father to 4 wonderful boys who love to fish and be outdoors. I grew up fishing in Galveston bay with my dad. I always loved to fish. What once was a hobby turned into an addiction. I love to fish. I live 8 min from the boat ramp. I can make it from one of my furthest fishing spots to home in 25min( that’s with loading the boat on the trailer). When I’m not on a charter, I’m out on water finding fish and learning more about fishing so I can pass it on. My favorite thing about being a fishing guide is getting to share my love for fishing with people. If you book with me I promise you will have a great time.
Techniques
I like to use the technique that the fish wants best. Of course, there is nothing better than to catch trout and reds on top water but I sure do like the feel of a big flounder thump on my lure.
