St Simons Island, Georgia:

Captain Mark Noble.

Look him up. I’ve fished with Mark probably ten times over the years shooting television shows.

During those trips, I’ve caught several 100+ pound tarpon, 30-pound kings, boat loads of trout and too many giant reds to count. Mark is an island native and no one knows these waters better. In a morning of fishing for reds, with many triples on at once, I’m sure we boated and released 500-pounds of reds. If I recall correctly, the minimum length to keep a red is 22 inches. During all my visits, I never kept a single redfish. They were all too big. My personal record with Mark exceeded 50-pounds. When to go? Full moon in September and October for reds, summer for tarpon, and spring for kings. OK, there are few for your consideration. Again, look them up

Hello! We are from Ohio and it was our first trip to St.Simons Island. We have stayed at Jekyll island in the past and and have heard of St.Simons. This year my mom booked a trip to St.Simons. This was definitely a trip to remember! We loved everything about this unique trip to Georgia. What made it so special was going on a fishing trip with Captain Mark Noble! He was so knowledgeable about how to catch the fish and made everyone feel super confident about catching the fish. I personally loved singing to the fish as well!! Great experience and as my dad would say...the fish was “Delish!” Next time we go back we are for sure going on another fishing trip with Captain Mark!

Capt. Mark is the best!

My husband and I booked a fall fishing trip and left the dock with a boat load of red fish and speckled sea trout. He is knowledgeable and knows everything you need to know about catching the fish you are looking for AND entertaining as well. Whether a little while or all day, you will not be disappointed...make a reservation today!!

Tropical storm dumped 4+ inches of rain the day before our trip. We had originally planned a trout/redfish trip. Captain mark was upfront before we left and said the fishing will be tough i would suggest trolling offshore. Ultimately the choice was ours. We listened to the professional and boy were we glad. Limited out in 2 hours and one or best trips i have ever been on. At one point we had all 4 rods hooked up with fish. Boat,equipment, bait everything was top notch. Would highly recommend.

I must say if you love fishing- but just can't get that edge cut just right on keying in on fishing accuracy. Or, if you just wanna have a great day on the water I highly recommend going out with captain Mark Noble. The man is a true fishing master. He truly understands fishing and how god made it all work (without us humans on the water) to feed them. He cares about teaching you about fishing, not just making sure you catch something. I went with captain mark on 5-1-20 with some extreme west winds and dangerously rough waters . A day I would've thought was a waste of time. Captain mark went straight to the fish ! Catching fish in winds that make it hard to stand up straight. If that don't tell you the man's ability nothing will! Thanks for the experience captain mark look forward to another future trip!

st simons fishing,fish st simons,trophy fishing,

This past August I took my third trip in 2 years, with Captain Mark I . had several fish on my bucket list I wanted to catch. And as you can see from the pictures he made it at successful Adventure. 1st was a giant Tarpon over a hundred pounds trophy. 2nd a big Bull Red. Then he put me on a giant jack Crevalle which I have never caught. I have been fishing with many guides up and down the coast and the Florida Keys but Mark's experience and professionalism keeps me coming back to him. He helped me land 3 trophies of a lifetime. I will be back this summer in pursuit of another big trophy. Folks give Lisa a call she will help you book a trip of a lifetime. David Corn

Capt Mark is the real deal. He was incredible with my 7 yr old son and a joy to conversate with throughout the charter. We caught some real quality fish and got to learn a lot about the GA coast. Very honest guy.....you won't find a better guide!!

Been dreaming about inshore fishing for reds and trout down south since I was a little kid watching TV shows on weekend mornings, with people catching so many it was near obnoxious, thinking to myself 'this had to be edited'. So when I got invited to be in a wedding in Atlanta, had to try and get some fishing in off the Georgia coast and see what was up firsthand.

Decided to go out of St. Simons Island with a couple family members under the guidance of Captain Mark Noble; and what a fantastic decision it was. Capt. Mark and Lisa were not only some of the most welcoming, and easy going people I have ever come across, we caught so many fish my thoughts of needing to edit fishing shows filmed down there were squashed.

From the avid angler to the beginner, I would highly recommend looking up Captain Mark Noble and the Fishing Center if you have time in Georgia, and want to experience an amazing fishery while taking in some beautiful coastal scenery.

My son and I had the honor to fish with Capt Mark and what a great day. He put us on some great spinner action we caught a lot of fish but to us the best part of the trip was just being out on the water with Mark. His love of fishing and the kind way about him was special. We can't wait for next trip

Running a charter business is one of the most challenging occupations around. Even when you do everything right, sometimes the fish just won't cooperate. But that's fishing. You can't predict the weather a month in advance, and even when we were facing poor fishing conditions on the day of the charter, Mark had a Plan B that saved the day. Mark also embodies all the positive characteristics of a great charter guide...part fish...part fisherman...part diplomat...part magician...and part tour guide. His energy and passion for fishing and pleasing his customers is evident from the first time you meet him, and at the end of the day you'll have made some wonderful memories after spending an enjoyable day on the water. I certainly did.

Have fished with Mark for ten years! He is absolutely the finest and the hardest working fishing guide on the Georgia coast! Five stars are not enough!

Here is the review from Mark Gregory.

September 24-25, 2016
"I've fished with many guides over the years and in many locations. Two of them stand out as excellent and Mark Noble is one of them. Each time we go fishing with Mark we create memories for a lifetime. Today, I caught the fish of my lifetime to add to the memories. Since fishing with Mark I've lost my desire to own a boat. In my limited number of days to spend on the water I could never come close to replicating Marks knowledge of the area. My friends and I can't wait to return and we consider Mark as one of our own fishing buddies. I can't close without complimenting Lisa who also takes great care to make all of the arrangements from the first call to the follow up photography. Thanks for another great trip Mark and Lisa!"

Larry (with Mark Gregory)
"What a fishing weekend! See Mark's Facebook videos but you must experience this trophy fishing first hand. Day and a half of expertly guided fishing and CATCHING big Bull Reds, Tarpon, and a 6ft shark, catch 'n release. Mark Noble is the master guide, an artist in bait nets and an all around great guy. Lisa manages the set-up then you are on the beautiful water of the Georgia coast.
LM, Cartersville, Ga."

We went with Capt. Mark on Oct 5th. for Bull Reds, it was cloudy with rain in the area cause the Hurricane Jaoquin was off the coast, Mark took us out and we got a shark on the first stop, he then moved us maybe 30 yds over and MAN the fish were on, we had Triple and Quad Hookups all morning all the way till we where exhausted and give out at about 12:00 pm our bulls where from 32 inches up to 42 Inches. He is a very good guide, the best I have ever fished with. And he is also an awesome person. We look forward to same time and place next year with him.

Thanks Capt. Mark for the great time.

The best fishing charter I've ever had. He knows what, how, where, and when to catch fish even when people say they aren't biting. I know because we caught them today. He is fun to be around and a very personable person. Anyone who can patent their own lure ought to raise a red flag! If you are looking for a fishing guide don't waste any more time book your trip!
