My 8 year old daughter has recently developed a fascination with fishing. She has been watching shows on tv about big game fishing and chasing monster fish.
While down in Miami for a long weekend my wife remembered that her mother, who was a concierge in Miami for years, used to work with Mark the Shark to set up fishing trips for clients in the hotel. She decided to give him a call to see if he was still in business. They set up a half day trip that brought us 3 miles into the ocean to try to catch one of the big ones. Mark and Ryan's experience made the whole trip feel easy and natural. They were great to spend a day with out on the water. They instructed and taught my daughter and kept us involved and entertained while we played the waiting game.
We were fortunate for the absolutely beautiful day that we spent with them on the water. The best part was the fish that my daughter was able to bring in. Most impressive was the 77" sailfish that she caught. Working as a team, they helped her bring in a fish that she has only seen on tv.
Afterwards Mark sent us some amazing pictures that he and Ryan were able to get so that our fish story isn't about the one that got away. Coincidentally we did let our sailfish get away to swim another day (after it's photo shoot). My daughter (and my wife and I) walked away with an experience that she will never forget and will tell the tale of forever. Big thanks to Mark and Ryan for everything. We look forward to our next Miami visit and the next trip we can take with them.
