Welcome to the Mark Ballard page. I am a native of Florida and has been fishing these waters all of his life. I am a United States Coast Guard certified Captain. I have been fishing the waters of Florida's East Coast, Key West, Islamorada, the Exumas, Abaco, Walkers Cay, Flamingo, Captiva, Boca Grande, the 10,000 Islands, and both inshore and offshore the Indian River Lagoon in Florida. His experiences have also taken him to Central and South America as well as the trout streams of Colorado, the northeast and the Carolina's.
