The Preferred Fishing Guide of MiaPesca Fishing Lodge, Galveston’s East Bay MVP
If you’ve ever tried herding cats while simultaneously wrestling a redfish, you might have an idea of what Captain Mark’s daily life is like—but he makes it look easy. The man, the myth, the mullet-slayer behind Reel Bolivar Fishing Guide Service, Captain Mark Allen is the preferred fishing guide for the guests of MiaPesca Fishing Lodge, and for good reason: he knows East Bay like the back of his hand (and probably has the tan lines to prove it).
When he’s not expertly putting clients on trout, reds, and flounder in Galveston’s East Bay, Captain Mark is navigating far more unpredictable waters—his own household. With four young boys who think bedtime is optional and that every spoon is secretly a lure, Captain Mark is outnumbered, out-energied, and often out-snacked. These kids eat like linebackers and fish like pros, which makes sense, considering they’re been raised on boats!
And then there’s his legendary wife, known locally as the “Saint of Sanity,” who somehow keeps the household running while Mark wrangles fish and feral sons alike. She’s patient, calm, and possibly fueled entirely by caffeine and divine intervention.
Back on the bay, Mark’s fishing trips are known for more than just full coolers—they’re laid-back, laugh-filled adventures. He’ll put you on the fish, crack a joke, tell you where the good tacos are, and make sure you’re back in time for happy hour (or daycare pickup).
Whether you’re a novice angler or a seasoned saltwater vet, fishing with Mark feels like a day on the water with an old buddy—assuming your buddy has GPS, radar, and an uncanny sixth sense for where the fish are biting.
Staying at MiaPesca Fishing Lodge (https://miapescafishinglodge.com)? Good call. Booking a trip with Reel Bolivar (https://reelbolivarfishing.com) while you’re there? Even better. Just don’t be surprised if one of Mark’s boys (or his dog) tags along and out-fishes you with a juice box in hand.
So next time you’re headed to the Texas coast and want to fish East Bay like a local legend, give Captain Mark Allen a call. Because at Reel Bolivar, it’s not just about the catch—it’s about the laughs, the stories, and the occasional gummy worm in your tackle box.
