We had a great time catching some catfish! Started off a bit slow but was to be expected since we booked during end of spawing. We still managed to bring in 6 with one larger post spawn female in the 20lbs. I would definitely recommend booking this trip. The captain was very knowledgeableand showed us the best techniques and locations for catching them. He was also very personable and we had great conversations throughout the trip.

mark is a excellent captain! We went in a drought and a slow time of year, and mark was determined to get us hooked on some giant catfish which has been my sons dream for some years now!! We had a slow start , but with marks determination he was able to get us hooked in a couple of giant catfish that definitely exceeded expectations!!!!  One 32lbs and one 48lbs along with some smaller ones that were excellent eaters!  Mark is highly recommended and we will be booking again!

Captain Mark is approachable, friendly, and knows what he is doing! This trip was a ton of fun, everyone in my group caught at least 13 fish, and had a blast doing it! it was well worth a 2 hour commute, and i will gladly make that drive again!

He’s also the most affordable guide i’ve seen!

I do not write reviews, but I felt strongly to support Mark for his outstanding knowledge and professionalism as a professional charter guide. I have gone on three charters in one month with him, bringing nine total people. Every person was blown away and amazed by the experience. Every one of these nine people caught the biggest catfish in their life. Now not everybody has caught 40 pound catfish, but every fish is a trophy depending on your experience. 10 pound catfish can still make you smile. We had many fish in the 30+ pound range and those definitely set some high goals to have to break in the future.
One of Mark‘s strengths is sharing his knowledge of this fishery with you while you fish. His 40 years of knowledge identified different kinds of birds, fish, and the history on how the river started and has changed over time.
Haven been a navy rescue swimmer, he puts everybody at ease with the safety of this experience and how any emergency situations should be handled with a very thorough departure pre-brief.
I cannot recommend this experience enough and I’m already planning my next charter
