I've not yet fished with mark, but I've seen him on the water plenty and he's usually putting fish in the boat when I see him. He is a top notch guy. Though he operates a guide service, he's been more than willing to share info as to where and how he's catching fish on several occasions. A lot of guides would not do that, they feel that is what you pay them for, and it is!!! That is what sets mark apart from a lot of others and I look forward to fishing in his ranger sometime soon!!!
