Great fun I decided to make one more trip to Erie P.A. to fish with my fav. Captian Mark Rose. It was a beautiful late Nov. day. Mark was taking us out for the giant smallmouth that are feeding up. I have been fishing with Capt. Mark for years and he never disapoints me. Always puts me on fish . This day was a little diffferent ,while we were catching some nice smallmouth Mark said there are some big Lake Trout close by that we could try to catch. It was a fish I had not caught in all my yrs. so we said lets go. Well it was a blast . Thanks Capt for another great day of fishing.

Lake Erie Bronze backs My fall fishing trip this yr was a cold windy day on lake Erie. Capt Mark Rose with his new Ranger boat was putting us on fish as usual. The fishing was a little slow but they were there just not real hungry. We did manage some nice fish even though the conditions were tough. Mark was the professional as always and gave us a greta day on the lake to finish the seson. If you come to Erie and need a guide there is only 1 guy by far that I would go with. Ive been going with mark a couple times a year for the last 5 yrs. and always catch nice smallys which is my goal. Thanks Mark

My daughter and I had a great day, caught multiple species of fish , enjoyed incredible weather (mid August) and the boat Mark uses is unbelievable!
Watching your 11 year old daughter struggling to bring in 27" walleye is a great day!

First of all, we had the privilege of being some of his first guests in his brand new high tech Ranger multi species boat that he just got a few days ago. You have to see it to believe how nice it is. (not to mention all of his top of the line rods&reels and baits).
With his never say quit attitude, I can only imagine what it will be like fishing with him in a day or two once his boat is fully broken in.
The conditions were very challenging with the rain and nonstop howling wind that never quit. But neither did he and we ended up having a trip that we will never forget! David caught his PB SMB at 4.2 and we caught several others not far behind, not to mention all of the large mouths over 3. A lot on top water too!
We were lucky enough to have a window when the wind quit blowing and Mark had us in fish, lots of them, in no time.
Thanks Mark. Can’t wait til next time.

Great trip in a tough time of year Despite a tough time of year on Lake Erie, Capt. Rose kept us on fish and helped us have great days. Largemouth, pike, smallmouth, scaly cat (and even an occasional drum)... they all fell to our group of four. Thanks Mark for a great experience and we look forward to our next chance to catch some of those huge Lake Erie smallmouth! 

Captain Mark Rose is awesome to fish with. He knows how to catch a lot of fish! He is awesome with my 12 year old daughter, and with his help she out fishes me every time and she loves it! Great experience with a captain that will put you on fish. Highly recommend 
Some of the best fishing I've ever done in my life!! My favorite part of the trip was catching so many fish was Captain Mark Rose. I caught so many peacock bass that my hands were sore and my arms were tired. Captain Mark Rose is a master at his trade. He knows where to find the fish and what to use to haul them in. I will definitely be back to fish with him again and again. He's a great guy, he's really easy to get along with, and fun to fish with.

Ripping lips all day! I had an amazing time Bass fishing with Captain Mark Rose and Mark Shepard. Both of them are true professionals. We fished 2 days back to back each 8 hour trips. We were hooked up on Bass right away and it lasted ALL DAY! They did NOT disappoint! I canât wait to come back.

AWESOME!!! BOOK A TRIP WITH CAPT MARK ROSE! I booked a 2 day bass fishing trip on Okeechobee for my daughter and I and we had a great time catching large mouth bass. Mark knew exactly where to take us to catch them. The second day was forecasted to be colder so Mark offered to take us to the Falls near Miami and fish for Peacock bass. What a blast...he went above and beyond to make sure we caught fish and had a good trip. I highly recommend fishing with Mark. We will be back!

Plan B with Captain Mark Rose I booked 2 days of Lake Erie smallmouth fishing with Caption Mark Rose. The weather however was very windy out of the north and Lake Erie was to rough to fish, but not to worry. Caption Mark had plan B ready to go. We headed south to an inland lake and had two awesome days of smallmouth fising. I caught 35 smallies in two 4 hour trips. It doesnt get better than that. I have fished with Caption Mark for 3 years now and i am always amazed at his ability to find smallies and provide awesome fishing trips. I highly recommend Caption Mark to anyone who wants to experiance smallmouth fising at its best.

Smallmouth Charters with Captain Mark Rose My adult son & I, both experienced Lake Erie fishermen, just completed two successful Presque Isle smallmouth charters with Captain Mark Rose. We caught quality smallies both days in tough conditions with several over 5 lbs. and one 6 pounder.Captain Mark consistently located the smallies and willingly shared his smallmouth fishing expertise with my son & I. His focus is definitely on helping you catch smallmouth bass while having a good time. He’s good at it too!
In summary, we had a great time fishing with Captain Mark Rose and picked up some valuable smallmouth fishing tips from a pro.
WE WILL BE BACK!

Fishing Erie Capt Mark took us out to Lake Erie. The wind was rough so we couldn't go to the big lake. We instead fished the bay. Capt Mark brought live crawfish for bait. It worked out great. We caught a couple of smallmouth, several largemouth, a drum, and a walleye. The boat was good and Capt Mark was very helpful. The fishing gear was Top of the Line! We are hoping for a trip to Florida soon,
