  Perfect Day on The Water

  Private 4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on May 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  My daughter and I had an outstanding morning with Captain Mark. We caught plenty of fish and brought home a nice haul, but what really stood out was that Captain Mark has the heart of a teacher. He was perfect for helping my daughter learn the ropes, even casting out an extra line and handing it to her when he had a fish on. He knew exactly where to go, and we had action right away. My daughter’s very first fish was a 26 lb black drum that she helped fight in, and it’s something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. The great music and jokes between hits kept the energy up the whole trip. Captain Mark had everything set up and ready to go, took plenty of photos of us and our catch throughout the morning, and cleaned our fish at the end. I don’t think I could have asked for more. You won’t regret booking with him.

  Awesome first fishing experience!

  4 Hour – Classroom + Fishing on August 15, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Mark is awesome!! We started by spending some time learning the basics of fishing through a really well-put-together slide deck, then headed out to a few different spots to put everything into practice. My wife and I were both first-timers, and he was incredibly patient and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. By the end, he had us feeling comfortable with the basics and, most importantly, we both caught a couple of fish! It was a great experience from start to finish, and we’ll definitely book with Captain Mark again.

  Great Trip and Experience!

  Private 4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  We are a mother and son coming from Istanbul, Turkiye and we had a wonderful time with Captain Mark this morning. The fishing spot, the boat and the total ride were all spectacular. We still cannot believe how many different and huge fish we caught. We are going back home with great memories thanks to him.. He was very helpful with my 14 year old son who loves fishing. We hope we can come back soon for another great experience.. All the best from Turklye,

  Amazing day and great first inshore experience!

  Private 4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on March 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  My wife booked this charter for my birthday and what a treat it was for our first inshore! Captain Mark was the key to it all. He was so knowledgeable but so humble and relatable. You can tell that he does this for the love of everything fishing and not because he has to do it. He was patient and available for all of us, especially our kiddos. He taught us all so much, to the point that our youngest who even struggles with bluegills caught her first fish on this trip 🙌 He also helped me break my bass fishing habits to finally land my first double digit! 🎉 Won't chose or try anyone else when we're back in the area.

  We had a blast with a Captain who loves fishing!

  Private 5 Hour Trip (AM) on November 3, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 child

  Captain Mark was great. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was our first outing like this. I think hanging out with Mark, it was very clear that he loves what he does. That love and excitement really helped our whole crew have a blast. We had 5 of us (2 sons: 11 and 14 - they loved it!). Mark was a great communicator. He sent texts outlining his process and location. We put the address in phone and it took us right to his door. We were a little surprised that it was a driveway with a garage... We didn't realize the boat and the lake were in his backyard! Very very cool setup. Mark gave us some basic instructions and helped provide a clear vision of what to expect. Mark is a great teacher! We fished using live shrimp and Mark provided all the gear. Gear and boat were in great shape. We went and caught several fish (i'd guess 20-30). Several different species: Flounder, Red drum (redfish), Black drum, Hardhead catfish, Whiting, Sand trout, speckled trout (spotted sea trout), and even oysters! He ended up with 6 keepers which turned into two large zip locks with filets! Mark was kind throughout and very professional. Great music and jokes! There is definitely a reason he has all 5 star rankings. Great time and would highly recommend. Mark also took great photos for our group.
