The trip exceeded our expectations, which were already very high after reading all the glowing reviews! Despite our limited experience, we had about two dozen catches.  Captain Mark patiently helped my teenage sons improve their techniques and explained the “why” behind his choice of spots. Beyond the fishing, we appreciated the easy access from Ocala.  Another unexpected bonus was the scenery as we made our way in the boat from the launch point on a tributary to the main... More

Captain Mark was a good guide. Even though it was very windy and the waves were very choppy, he kept us in place when we needed to and had us drift through certain parts of the bay.

Cold water and Gatorade. Cleaned the fish quickly, and made recommendations on how to cook them. I’m using him again.

To start Captain Mark was fantastic. My wife and I had a fantastic time. To start we limited out on keeper sea trout with in the first 2 hours, and had a number of shorts.

My two sons and I enjoyed a great time on the water with Captain Mark. We caught 12 different species on the day and made some awesome memories.

Other boats that we’re communicating were not having much luck but we ended up with plenty of fish in the cooler. Thanks Captain Mark for a wonderful day on the water.
