Raise in an Irish/Portuguese fishing family, Mark was born with salt in his blood. His family lineage goes back to the Portuguese island of Madeira, known for it's world class blue marlin and wines. His family was part of the San Diego commercial tuna industry in the 1970's and he cut his teeth working on local party boats in the San Diego sportfishing fleet. Mark is an author, presenter, active conservationist, offshore tackle specialist and avid billfish lure collector. He also enjoys surfing, free diving, spearfishing and anything in or on the water excluding synchronized swimming.

He has appeared on ANGLER CHRONICLES on FOX Sports West, ANGLER WEST TV on Comcast SportsNet California, Direct TV, Dish Network and The World Fishing Network and the Let's Talk Hook Up Radio Show. His angling travels include Costa Rica, Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Portugal and the Caribbean. Mark is Coast Guard certified in Seamanship, Coastal Navigation/GPS and First Aid/CPR.

Originally from Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 Lakes," Jason worked as a guide/outfitter for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) and the border lakes on the US/Canadian border off the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. Jason started fishing the west coast and Baja in the mid 1990's and has been guiding since 2000. Although he's a skilled offshore fisherman and guide, his specialty is targeting large roosterfish (pez gallo) in the surf and inshore.
