						Best Walleye Fishing Charters This is a top-notch charter outfitter, boats and crew are superb. We did a family trip on Lake Erie, and they put us on fish the entire day. We had a full range of ages and fishing experience was great for everyone. They made us all feel welcome from the start and thought of every detail to make our 6 hour day the perfect length! Clean boat and Capt Tom was great.

						Fishing in the Pennsylvania We spent 3 days fishing with Captain Mark & Tom could not have asked for better guides!! My father who is 78 and who has some limitations, was fishing with my daughter and I. It was fantastic with my Dad. Everyone was very patient and helpful and gave us all an exceptional trip! We caught a ton of smallmouth bass, limited out on Walleye and laughed and enjoyed ourselves all day long. I would recommend iOutdoors to anyone who wants a guide in PA with an expert and who wants to have a fantastic fishing trip!

						Great fishing! We had really good day of fishing. The weather was kinda miserable it was raining and blowing most of the day. But even with weather conditions as they were Mark was able to put us on some really big smallies and some good numbers. I will definitely be using Mark some more next year.

						Bucket list peacock bass!! Thank you bass online for taking another fish off my angling bucket list! We had an amazing trip with Capt Mark Rose! Mark was great through the whole process of booking the trip and keeping me informed about how the fishing was in Florida and what to expect when we arrived. Mark was easy to find, he arrived with a beautiful truck and incredible boat! All of this equipment was top of the line and his instruction made catching peacock bass easy and fun. Peacock bass provide an awesome fight and they’re the most beautiful freshwater fish I’ve ever caught. Anyone can do this with Marks professional instruction, my wife caught the biggest fish of the day! I highly recommended this service and the guides they provide. Captain Mark Rose will put you on the fish and you’ll have a wonderful time catching them!!!

						Amazing Bass Trip Capt Mark Rose took us out at Sawgrass recreation area for a half day of bass fishing. When he told me ahead of time that we might have a 30 fish day, I didn’t believe him. We ended up boating over sixty in four short hours - the action was non stop. It was the best day of bass fishing I’ve ever had and would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to catch fish!!

						Peacocks Galore! We picked up an extra fishing trip with Mark in the afternoon. Generally, one doesn't caught much in the afternoon but not with Mark. We hit several hot spots. Mark was committed to getting us fish and sure enough we caught several large Peacock bass and largemouth bass. We had another wonderful fishing trip with Mark Rose.
