I truly understand the healing power of the water, especially in a beautiful place like Islamorada.
Helping veterans is my mission, but I also look forward to making a positive impact on anyone’s life through a fun, action-packed day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Inspiring the next generation and creating lasting family memories is something that brings me immense joy.
Captain Mark Gibson
I’m a lifelong saltwater angler fortunate to call Islamorada my home. My passion for fishing began early, catching redfish and trout along the Texas Gulf Coast. After a 22-year career with the Houston Fire Department and overcoming several life challenges, I made a transformative decision in 2010 to relocate to the Keys. There, I dedicated myself to supporting veterans and creating unforgettable experiences on the water. As a disabled veteran after 19 years in the Navy, it’s incredibly rewarding to assist my fellow servicemen and servicewomen in any way I can.
I truly understand the healing power of the water, especially in a beautiful place like Islamorada. Helping veterans is my mission, but I also look forward to making a positive impact on anyone’s life through a fun, action-packed day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Another passion of mine is taking families, especially those with kids, out for fishing trips. Inspiring the next generation and creating lasting family memories is something that brings me immense joy. I always prioritize safety and aim to ensure every guest has a fantastic time on the water.
When I’m not guiding on the water, you’ll often find me at our local Bass Pro Shops, where I help teach fishing techniques and assist customers with rigging their boats.
