We are from The Chicago area. It’s been my 15 year old son’s dream to catch peacock bass. My son and husband went with Captain Mark Rose and they had the best day ever. The captain knew just where to go and they caught so many (at least 50) that their arms were sore at the end of their charter. Would recommend and will use him again. Dream come true…

Capt. Mark Rose knows his stuff. This was an incredible trip, I’m guessing we landed 50 fish, not sure how many we missed 🤦🏼‍♂️. Such a great experience for my son and me. Highly recommend Mark for your next trip.

Fishing for peacocks with Mark Rose today was amazing! This is our second trip with him, and we will return again. He reads our group well, provides all that is needed, and most importantly chooses sites that he thinks will give us the best day on the water with the most memories. Thanks again Mark!

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I Need to Bring?

I recommend sunglasses and a hat if you wear one. Dress according to the weather conditions keeping in mind that the temperature on the water is typically cooler than when you leave your house. Bring whatever food or snacks you enjoy. I will provide water along with sunscreen.

Can I Bring My Own Tackle?

Yes, bring anything you would like. However, we provide quality tackle: spinning and baitcasting rods and reels. If you have a favor reel, bring it I can put it on a rod.

Do I Need Fishing Experience?

No, never!
Our mission is to deliver a memorable and enjoyable trip. We will take whatever time necessary to get you comfortable with the tackle and techniques we use to catch fish.

What is Expected of Me as a Client?

We ask that all clients be courteous and respectful of all local and state rules and regulations. Act civil, treat my boat, and tackle with respect. For the most part, everyone starts out as a client, but more often than not ends up becoming a friend.

What will We Use for Bait?

Charters are done with artificial lures or live bait. You do not need to choose one or the other. We are happy to split the day up with both. Or we can do one all day… it’s your choice!

Can I Book Online?

All our charters can be booked online, but if you wish to talk first happy to do that as well. The online booking is a very small minimal deposit which is refundable but saves the day for you. The balance is paid at the end of the day, with either cash or a credit card.
