mark is a excellent captain! We went in a drought and a slow time of year, and mark was determined to get us hooked on some giant catfish which has been my sons dream for some years now!! We had a slow start , but with marks determination he was able to get us hooked in a couple of giant catfish that definitely exceeded expectations!!!!  One 32lbs and one 48lbs along with some smaller ones that were excellent eaters!  Mark is highly recommended and we will be booking again!

I do not write reviews, but I felt strongly to support Mark for his outstanding knowledge and professionalism as a professional charter guide. I have gone on three charters in one month with him, bringing nine total people. Every person was blown away and amazed by the experience. Every one of these nine people caught the biggest catfish in their life. Now not everybody has caught 40 pound catfish, but every fish is a trophy depending on your experience. 10 pound catfish can still make you smile. We had many fish in the 30+ pound range and those definitely set some high goals to have to break in the future.
One of Mark‘s strengths is sharing his knowledge of this fishery with you while you fish. His 40 years of knowledge identified different kinds of birds, fish, and the history on how the river started and has changed over time.
Haven been a navy rescue swimmer, he puts everybody at ease with the safety of this experience and how any emergency situations should be handled with a very thorough departure pre-brief.
I cannot recommend this experience enough and I’m already planning my next charter

This was my second trip on Markybob’s boat and he did not disappoint. Even though conditions were rough both times, we all got to catch some fish. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking another trip as well!

My son has been catching small catfish for years, but they were always just a pound or two.  He really wanted to catch a bigger one that would require a net.  Today was his lucky day!!  He finally got to pull in a big one.  The fish were not cooperating, but Captain Mark put us in some great spots and it paid off.  He was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable.  We had a great time and my son made a new memory.  We will definitely be back to hook more big cats.
