Flukin' in the grass
★★★★★
“ My son and I had a great trip with Captain Mark. He fit Us in on short notice when another guy had equipment problems. He taught us to fish a fluke on straight braid in the sawgrass. It was really fun yanking bass out of the grass. We had an awesome time throwing flukes in the grass.”

“ We came and accomplished what we came to do. Repeat customer and once again Captain Steve crushed it. The man knows his stuff and is a pleasure to fish with. Low key and steady, well until I hooked into my 9# 5oz monster. He was just as excited as I was. We boated many 3-6 pound bass, action throughout the day. Between last year and this we boated 82 fish. See ya next year Steve.”

“ Went out with Capt Steve on friday 2/28/25. Took my 86 year old father and brother. What a great time. 15 minutes in and my dad hooked into a 7lb large mouth. Steve was very patient, knowledgeable, friendly and we had the best 4 hours. Caught plenty of fish and had some laughs along the way. I will definitely be back for another trip.”

February 5, 2025 - Family Fishing
★★★★★
“ Our family joined Mark on Lake Okeechobee this February 2025. Mark was amazing! He kept in touch with my husband as our fishing date approached to determine the best fishing spot for our visit. He was very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly to us and our three boys. His boat was so clean, his passion for the sport, and respect for nature shined through with each minute we were on his boat. We latched on to our first bass within 30 seconds of the first line hitting the water. All 5 of us were able to catch bass on our trip. Mark took and shared pictures with us as well. We are so grateful to have gotten to work with Mark and are excited to go again with him in the future! Thanks, Mark!”

Perfect Guide
★★★★★
“ Exactly what we wanted from a guide. Did all the baiting of hooks and handling fish on the boat. I'm sure if we'd asked to do more he'd of let us. Boat and all gear in top shape. Withing 10m of casting he got a fish on his line and handed one of us the pole to reel her in. Devin helped us get the best photos from our Florida trip. A true professional.”

“ I'd like to make a complaint: my arm hurts from catching too many peacocks! LOL! Capt Brett is the best captain and can put you on an exciting day of catching. His friendliness is forthcoming and his fun personality connects with everyone. The boat is comfortable and the fishing gear is top-notch. I highly recommend Brett to anyone and will be fishing with him again in the future.”

“ I come to Florida every year and I try to fish with Pete every year. I usually fish with artificial bait but this year I brought a friend who had never fished with shiners. We went out with northeast wind s after a cold front came in. We caught 15+ bass. My buddy loved fishing with shiners. I think he is hooked. If you want to catch some bass call Peter T.”

Capt. Mark Rose
Capt Mark Rose
★★★★★
“ My 13 year old son has wanted to catch a peacock bass ever since he first saw one on tv years ago. We flew down from Mississippi and booked a trip with Capt Mark to try and make it happen. Man he did not disappoint!!! I told Capt Mark we only had a couple hours to fish due to other obligations and he said no problem. Within 10 minutes of leaving the boat launch he had us on fish, and the action never stopped! We caught more fish than we could keep count of. Almost every cast resulted in a hook up. We left the dock with 100 shiners and almost everyone of them resulted in a hook up or missed fish ( our fault not getting a good hook set etc). Not only did we catch a bunch of fish but we caught some really nice ones as well with multiple fish over 3 pounds. I cannt recommend him enough, I’ve done several trips from the keys to Texas and Capt Mark was by far the best charter Capt I have ever fished with! If your looking for a great fishing trip book Capt Mark, you will not regret it!”
