Mark put in a full day's effort, taking my wife and me on a polling adventure. He was unafraid to use extra fuel when necessary, engaging us in great conversation, and remained dedicated to ensuring everyone had an exceptional trip! I wholeheartedly endorse this Captain's services.

We had an awesome time during our two full day trips with Captain Mark. He taught me fly fishing and new techniques like how to choose the right color fly. I also hooked my first tarpon. I had an awesome time fishing. Thanks Captain Mark!
