About Your Guide

Mark B.

Outfitter
Captain Mark started out fishing bass tournaments in South Central Florida in his late teens. He fished primarily freshwater until the the last 18 years, when he made the switch to saltwater. Mark not only fishes the IFA, BBRC and Florida Pro Redfish tournament circuits, he was director for 2 of the 8 Xtreme Redfish divisions in the state of Florida. He gives his time and advice to numerous charity tournaments , such as “Reelin 4 Kids”, the “Gator Quarterback Touchdown Club”, and the Santa Fe High School “Raiders Slam” every year in the Big Bend area. When Mark is not fishing tournaments, you can still find him on the water taking his friends and family out. Mark enjoys the challenge and prefers to catch his redfish on artificial lures. He is an advocate of wildlife conservation and prefers catch and release whenever possible. Mark and his partner Ron were 2014 Ifa West Coast Division Champions and hope to repeat it again!

Captain Bobbi was raised up on the water running shrimp boats with her family since childhood. Born and raised in Crystal River, FL, she moved to Steinhatchee when she was 22 and started fishing. What started off as just some local tournaments soon turned into a career. After winning a few trophies and getting the fishing fever, she decided to get her Captain's license and join the industry. With the help of her husband, Mark, she is now a license Captain and professional charter operater. She enjoys being able to take people on to the water and show them what the Big Bend of Florida has to offer for fisherman and their families. A trip with Captain Bobbi is sure to be a blast for everyone, whether you're an experienced angler or still learning the ropes.
