Amazing.  It was a pretty calm day so Capt Mark took us into the Atlantic on his 21’ Mako centre console.  We were catching snappers in no time and he kept making slight position changes with the trolling motor to keep the action going.  We had just about hit our limit on snappers when a HUGE torpedo shaped fish went after a grunt he brought to the boat.  He sprung into action re-rigging to go after it.  Long story short he found a way to get that fish on, handed me the rod and it was a 25 min battle.  Ended up being a 4’ barracuda.  We were using a pretty light rig but he coached me the whole way to land it.  A few pics and we let it swim away.  A dream come true and regardless of the trophy fish, I honestly enjoyed being out on the water with a knowledgeable and just downright nice fellow.  Would rebook next time I’m down there for sure,  He cleaned the fish when we got back and pointed us to Keys Fishery, a great place to have it cooked and kids got to see tarpon and sharks there!  Thank you so much Capt Mark for an experience of a lifetime!

Fished the backcountry with cap Mark for snapper and sea trout. Awesome day great fishing with one of the best guides in the area. We limited out on trout and then some and moved on for some snapper action. Parts of the day were nonstop action putting nice fish in the boat constantly. Mark is very knowledgeable, patient, prepared very easy going guy. By the end of the day it was like fishing with a friend I had know. for years. If you have the chance to make it down to the keys look Mark up for a great day of fishing.

We told Captain “Beamer” that we want to catch a few eaters and would also like to try for something bigger and just have some fun! We started out looking for something big and after a bit we hooked into a huge King Mackerel. Cpt Beamer did a great job instructing me on the best way to get it in the boat and we landed it successfully! The rest of the day we spent fishing for dinner and landed a good pot of Snappers, along with Blow Fish, Shark, Catfish, and some others that we released back into the water. It was a great morning and we would definitely book with Beamer again! Happy Fishing!

Very enjoyable half day trip. Mark was hospitable and knowledgeable.  He helped with my technique ( quite different than catching a bass in Pittsburgh). We caught a variety of fish including a large grouper ( not in season). Five star review!
