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.

Captain Mark was outstanding from start to finish. He was organized, on time, and clearly knows his craft. His amazing tips and guidance made the experience both fun and educational — especially for those of us who aren’t expert anglers.

He put us right on the fish, and we had great action throughout the trip! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and Mark created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. We laughed, we learned, and we caught plenty.

If you’re looking for a smooth, successful fishing trip with a knowledgeable and professional captain, look no further than Captain Mark. Highly recommended!

When my 14 year old son recently got interested in fishing, I thought a local charter would be a great way to pic up tips and make a great gift. Our morning on the
water with Captain Mark definitely delivered! He put us right over the fish and coached us both through reeling in some big black drums (one was 14lbs). It was the perfect fishing experience and we’ll be back!

To begin, I must emphasize that Captain Mark is top notch!! He is full of patience, imo hilarious jokes, plays fabulous music, a wonderful teacher, and full of personality! My husband, 3 teenage boys, and myself (with a broke foot) had a blast on our fishing trip.  2/3 of our bigs had never salt water fished and all I wanted was for them to catch fish. Captain Mark ensured we did exactly that! I am so grateful for all of the memories he captured of our family as well as helped us make on our trip! Now that the boys have the hang of it, they are ready for our next trip to see who catches a BIG one!  We will definitely fish with him again! I highly recommend Captain Mark!!!

We booked a fishing trip this past Saturday for my dad’s birthday, and it was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The captain was top-notch—knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire trip an absolute blast. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time.

The boat was well-equipped, and the fishing? Unreal. We caught plenty, and the thrill of reeling them in made the trip even better. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, this is the kind of trip that makes memories for a lifetime. My dad had an unforgettable birthday, and we’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
