I have hired a lot of fishing guides over the years, but I have never seen any of them work as hard as Captain Mark.  He is in constant motion, and it amazed me how he kept track of everything going on, with all three anglers, non-stop.  Oh- and we caught a lot of fish.  Snook, redfish, lady fish, catfish, and more.  I highly recommend Captain Mark, you will not be disappointed.

From the time we get picked up at the dock until we get dropped off he is 100% professional, safe, and fun to be with. We have fished with Cape Mark 5 times now and every time we put a lot of fish in the boat. These include Snook, Snapper, Sheepshead, Jacks and Red Fish. We usually have three or four people fishing and everybody catches fish. If we were fishing a slow spot, he moves to another spot that is more productive. Cap’n Mark knows the area better than most and he will not waste your time. We always have plenty of live bait for catching as well as chumming to stir up the fish. I have been fishing Pine Island Sound, Captiva Island and Sanibel Island for 30 years and have used a lot of guides, and I can say without hesitation that Captain Mark Westra is the absolute BEST!.

Captain Mark was great with our 4 year old son and put us on fish. He was very patient and engaging with our son and helped us find multiple species. It was a great experience to bring our son with on his first guided fishing trip and hopefully has him hooked for years to come!

Great experience! My son wasn’t feeling well at our scheduled time, Captain Mark worked with is to find a time that worked and we had a blast catching Jack fish, Trout and Snook! He made our trip to Fort Meyers something we’ll never forget!

Very experienced captain who has been working in this region for 20+years. We had a good day of fishing and I caught around 12 fishes, including snook and jacks, even in a non favorable weather with cold water. We’ve used only artificials
