What a great day fishing! Captain Mark started out the trip teaching us to use top water poppers; and we killed it! Then we fished using shiners and had good luck with those Overall we had a awesome day of fishing!

Beautiful day out

Mark Shepard
★★★★★
Second time out with Mark great guy! Very unusual January weather. Went in am we caught 7 bass 2-6# missed a few. Fish not biting for pretty much everyone that day. Was with Mark in January before caught over 30 with 1-10#. Will be going out again would definitely recommend.

Two day trip with Mark. The conditions ranged from cold, rainy and windy to beautiful. Regardless, Mark put us in position to catch fish. That included a 9 lbs largemouth. Helpful, positive, and a true professional. Thank you Mark!
