   As a life long MD angler I’m no stranger to smallmouth but what Capt. Mark Rose put us on those two days was INSANE. 100+ fish in two days (12 hours) and 20+ over 5 pounds. Mark knows the lake and the fish like the back of his hand. If you’re thinking about going do it, it will be the time if your lives!

   Mark Rose has an uncanny understanding of the smallmouth bass on Lake Erie. His boat is unique as its a big water Ranger that is suited perfectly for the big rollers that appear anytime the winds pick up out on the lake. When others can't get to them, Captain Mark does. If you are looking for a charter based out of Erie's Presque Isle Bay, there's only one phone number to call, as Mark will generate some memories for you that you won't soon forget! In the fall, he gets it done with respect to the giant lake trout as well. Make your reservation today, you'll be extreemly happy that you did.

   This is a great company and Captain Mark Rose is an AMAZING Captain! I went out with him on his boat and was instantly on fish! Mark was great about helping me even though I’m a novice fisherman! He gave great direction and help as we pulled in a TON of fish! It was a great experience and Captain Marks knowledge of Lake Erie was extensive! I would definitely book again!

   Having fished my whole life I always have high expectations when picking a guide. I did my homework and got lucky finding Mark. He is by far the best most dedicated professional guide you will find. Having got to know Mark over the yrs he's a great captain and extremely knowledgeable, he has the best equipment and boat on the lake, he will put you on fish. Erie pa is known for huge Smallmouths and my passion as well . He has put me on many 5lb plus and my personal best 6.25. Don't hesitate if your serious about going on a great trip.
