Captain Mark began his fishing journey competing in bass tournaments across South Central Florida during his late teens. Initially focused on freshwater fishing, he transitioned to saltwater fishing in the past 18 years. Mark actively participates in the IFA, BBRC, and Florida Pro Redfish tournament circuits, and has also served as director for two out of the eight Xtreme Redfish divisions within Florida. Every year, he generously contributes his time and expertise to several charity events, including “Reelin 4 Kids,” the “Gator Quarterback Touchdown Club,” and the Santa Fe High School “Raiders Slam” in the Big Bend region. When not competing, Mark enjoys taking family and friends out on the water. He favors the challenge of catching redfish using artificial lures and strongly supports wildlife conservation, practicing catch and release whenever possible. Alongside his partner Ron, Mark secured the 2014 IFA West Coast Division Championship and aims to claim the title once more.
Captain Bobbi grew up on the water, gaining hands-on experience running shrimp boats with her family from a young age. Originally from Crystal River, FL, she relocated to Steinhatchee at 22, where she began her fishing career. What started as participation in local tournaments soon evolved into a professional pursuit. After earning several trophies and developing a passion for the sport, Bobbi obtained her Captain's license and entered the charter fishing industry. With support from her husband, Mark, Captain Bobbi now operates as a licensed captain and professional charter guide. She loves introducing visitors to the abundant fishing opportunities that Florida’s Big Bend area offers for anglers and their families alike. A trip with Captain Bobbi promises an enjoyable experience for everyone, whether you're a seasoned fisherman or just starting out.
