    Great fisherman, great guy

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    I had a great time with Mark searching for bass at Clearlake! Mark taught me how to be a better bass fisherman, how to drive a bass boat, and use some different lures, techniques and a baitcaster (which I'm new to). I grew up with spinning reels, but briefly made time to go over some basics on baitcasting. I appreciated the company, friendliness, and got to see a huge 7 lb bass caught!

    Full Day Trip on September 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Mark was super attentive to our needs and comfort. He was very knowledgeable about the lake and where the fish were. We enjoyed the full 8 hours of fishing and plan to use him again!

    Top Notch Service - Top Notch Experience - Unbelievable Fun

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 8, 2025 • 1 adult

    Mark Crutcher provides a top notch experience that is head and shoulders above the rest. I have hired several Clear Lake trips and I will not go back to anyone but Mark, from now on. Mark not only provides an amazing service, but he's an incredible person, with a wealth of Pro Tourney experience. Mark provides the highest quality equipment, including snacks & water, and a wealth of knowledge. Mark not only stands out from the rest, in the level of service provided, but also is a stand-out based on his mild kind demeanor, and amicable personality. Not only did we catch fish all day long, but we had some great conversations and I learned so much about bass fishing in general, the bass fishing pro circuits, and he helped me tremendously with various techniques. I would recommend you consider Mark for your Clear Lake fishing trip. He will provide a full experience you will not soon forget.

    GREAT Captain

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    A friend of mine and I went out with Mark on a cool blustery day, early season, in March. The first thing Mark wants to do is make sure you have a good experience and catch what you want. Myself had never fished for largemouth before, many other species, but not this. Mark was very good at instruction on technique and baits. This guy never slowed down making sure we were rigged, baited and on spot. We were having a hard time getting fish to react, and Mark never quit, we kept checking holes till we struck gold. Found some good average size then hit a nice 7.5 lb bass. And things turned around. Back at the dock we talked to several others who had been out, either nothing or 1 or 2. If you want a great experience, a lot of fun, and good fish Mark is your man. Also the guy is great with kids! Thank you Mark we will be back!

    Flexible and Easygoing

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 21, 2025 • 2 adults

    I booked my trip with Mark due to his solid reviews on the app. My best friend and I are making some big life changing moves and knew that another fishing trip like this wouldn't come for a long time and wanted to have a "one last" one before it happened. Mark was a great guide and very easygoing. It was much relaxing as it was fun. We caught more numbers in the morning and in the afternoon we were able to get on a frog bite and I caught a nice 4lb14oz bass. We overall had a great experience with Mark!

    Best Fishing Day Ever!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    Absolutely incredible experience! My stepfather and I agreed this was the best fishing trip of our lives. We caught over 40 bass! No exaggeration! There were moments when we were casting and catching nonstop. Mark Crutcher was an outstanding guide... professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a phenomenal day on the water. Highly, highly recommend Mark Crutcher Fishing! Can’t wait to go again!

    40+ fish day

    Full Day Trip on March 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    The day started slow but Mark continued to work to figure out the pattern that paid off. It wasn't the points, it wasn't the creeks, wasn't the tulli! It was the walls and rocks for a 40 fish day! Mark put his all into it to make it a great day. Thanks see you in May for another great lesson day on Clear Lake.

    Fishing trip with Mark Crutcher

    Full Day Trip on March 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was a fantastic guided fishing trip. Mark's boat and fishing equipmet were top notch and his knowledge of the lake was impressive. Mark is very friendly and patient and the stories he told added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Mark if you get the chance.
