Captain Mark

Have a love affair with the tailing redfish by joining Captain Mark in his fully loaded 2004 Ranger 169 Ghost flats boat poling quietly on the shallow flats, sight fishing for redfish and trout. Snook and tarpon fishing available seasonally.

Captain Mark's attitude of "what ever it takes" means the use of live bait or a full array of artificial lures may be employed in the pursuit of our elusive quarry.

Expert instruction on proper casting, knot tying, and various fishing techniques are eagerly taught. Instructional trips are also available upon request with the emphasis of learning the ropes of flats fishing rather than on numbers of fish. This is a great way to quickly progress from novice to advanced angler. Many people waste time with the trial and error method of learning.

For anglers looking for a more relaxed style of fishing, we recommend fishing the areas of deeper underwater structures. Here it is possible to catch a mixed bag of fish including sheepshead, drum, flounder, pompano, jack crevalle, snapper, etc. This style of fishing is especially effective for young anglers or anyone who is unable to stand for prolonged periods of time.

Captain Mark's Bio

Capt Mark has been fishing the fabled waters of the Indian River Lagoon since 1970. Bringing a lifetime of recreational fishing and ten plus years of commercial fishing experience to your day on the water.
Captain Mark grew up in Jensen Beach, Florida where he enjoyed fishing for snook on the local bridges. He caught his biggest snook of thirty pounds in April, 1976.

Specializing in catching large number of speckled sea trout in the summer season as well as truly giant redfish, Captain Mark is equally adept at finding fish all year long.

Tournament rigged with Minn Kota trolling motor, GPS/depth finder, powerpole shallow water hydraulic anchor and Biscayne pushpole. The Ghost is able to fish any weather conditions Mother Nature doles out.
