"A master fishing guide has to be many things: Expert boatsman, eagle-eyed fish finder, patient coach." 

 Greetings from Captain Mark Hall. Thank you for your interest in a day on the water with me. Born in Louisiana and raised in Pennsylvania- my passion for fishing began at an early age and has remained a significant part of my life since.  In my early teens I moved to Miami, Fl. Living in an area where the bite is on in one of the areas within 100 miles of Miami- 365 days a year- would have a profound effect on me the rest of my life. 

 

 I took up fishing in earnest, and by my early 20's I became a US Coast Guard Certified Captain and started my own guiding career as a fly fishing guide specializing in Peacock Bass. I truly enjoy fishing and sharing my love for the sport with others. The excitement of going fishing still keeps me up the night before. As a guide now for over 20 years, I have taken customers fishing anywhere from Miami, Fl. straight up the east coast to Stuart, Fl. and also venturing into the Everglades Ecosystem when the bite is hot. With my main focus being Biscayne Bay and Miami's intricate freshwater canal system. 

​

 Through my experience as a fishing guide Captain, I understand the importance of not only being determined to put anglers on fish, but also being patient and providing an enjoyable and entertaining day on the water. I am able to accommodate both experienced and beginning anglers and will supply all the tackle for fly fishing or spin fishing that you may need. If you have some special tackle you want to use, that will be suitable for the task, you are welcome to bring it along.  

​

 Let me know what your desires are for the day and I will try to fulfill your every request. The time of year and weather conditions are important, however I will make sure to do everything I can to get you on the catch you came for!  Book a combo trip and on the first day we can pole the flats for Bonefish, catch some snook, permit, jack, tarpon, barracuda, snapper, sea trout, sharks you name it. The following day switch over to the always abundant, urban,  freshwater canal system and fight one of the aggressive, exotic Peacock Bass. Or venture out into the Everglades and catch Redfish, largemouth bass, and snook.

​

 In the interest of conserving our natural resources I practice Catch and Release fishing (do however use fish for bait though). I fish for the love, sport and adventure of fishing. If you are looking to fill a cooler, unfortunately I'm not your guy. If you enjoy the challenge & reward of the sport without necessarily terminating the fish's existence then let's go fishing! We'll take a bunch of pictures to record your catch and release the fish to be caught again another day, maybe by you next year, a few pounds heavier (the fish that is).

​

If you are considering a fishing charter in South Florida I'd be honored to have you onboard and show you the amazing fishery we have in this region. Please view the "Trips & Rates" page for a more in depth review of the types of services I offer, current rates, what's included, and what to bring. Tight Lines!!
