Capt. Mark Wright grew up hunting waterfowl and fishing the brackish marsh and bayous of Mississippi and Louisiana. Growing up, he could be found most summer mornings wade-fishing off the beach or on the numerous bayous along the coast in pursuit of many species of fish. The pursuit of Redfish, Speckled Trout and Flounder are his lifelong passion, his true obsession is waterfowl hunting. During the winter months he and his trusty old Labrador Retriever can be found pursuing various species of ducks and geese that are encountered in the Mississippi flyway.

He has over 30 years fishing and hunting experience and has developed a knowledge base that many local coast fishermen and waterfowl hunters rely on. He is always willing to provide helpful tips to anglers and hunters so that they may have successful and fun filled days in the outdoors.
