My problem is primarily with the booking. I booked through fishing booker and it seemed to be super helpful. Set the date. Set the number of people in the group and it generated the price and asks for 10% deposit up front. Then come time to pay the remainder, my guide was unaware of how many guests were in our party (4 not 5) and wanted more money then what the fishing booker app said was owing. I brought this to Marks attention and he seemed bewildered and was adamant that i owed more money.  I paid because i was not about to ruin a trip with the boys over $100.  I let it ago. Morning of, i introduced my self and the first thing Mark had to say to me was how much i annoyed him with inquiry.

Regarding the fishing its self, it seemed mark wasnt super confident we’d catch anything from the start, i say that based on his remarks before we left. Couple of us were sea sick bemut that wasnt stopping us we were willing to find that fish. Unfortunately mark could not put us on them. We jigged in one spot for 4 hrs and then trolled one tack back to land, seemingly a way to save fuel if you asked me.
And in my opinion, if you arent catching fish, maybe as a guide you stay off your phone and you change over gear and try new strategy. 

Nice guy, maybe outta touch.

1 makerel. 3 coho 4 chinook. Along with several too small to keep.

Nice boat with good gear. Captain put us on the salmon. I was a bit disappointed that an 8 hour trip ended early , when we limited out on salmon but with a couple hours left we didn’t target some other fish. Communication with Mark was a bit stressed at times but overall had a good days fishing. Make sure you specify exactly what you are expecting to fish for.  Overall it is a good boat and captain.

Just a few tips to help those who decide to go sport fishing. Even if you think you won’t get seasick, assume that you will get really ill. Hit the pharmacy for those behind the ear patches and ensure you put them/it on the night before. If you know nothing or less than nothing about fishing for salmon then do some You Tubing and learn what you need to know. No time to learn when the salmon is already on your line. No time for detailed explanations though Mark tried. It all happened so fast the salmon got away. Still we hooked 2 and that ain’t bad.

We had an awesome day on the water with Mark.  He was great with the kids (and the adults), and did whatever he could to find us fish. 

The boat was clean, comfortable and perfect for a large group.  Mark split away from the rest of the boats early in the day, and we bagged 5 beauty chinooks soon after.

I wouldn’t book with anyone else in the area, Mark is our guy.
