Mark Wisch
Captain Mark Wisch owns and operates Pacific Edge Tackle, manufactures a complete line of live bait tanks and still finds the time to fish aboard his 25’Parker “Pacific Edge.” From fishing with the top local marlin and swordfish anglers and running yachts in Cabo, to having his own skiff to fish from all his life, Mark epitomizes the Southern California private boater, a fact reflected by columns he writes in both Western Outdoor News and Western Outdoors magazine. He also calls in a weekly private boaters report to Lets Talk Hookup(1090AM). To top it all off, Wisch took his passion for fishing for a ride on the San Diego long range fleet and readily became accomplished at all aspects of that style of fishing thanks to trips of all kinds aboard the Royal Star. Mark graduated from Cal Poly, Pomona with a degree in marketing and currently resides in Huntington Beach, California with his wife Chris and their dog Emma. He has written three books, “Between Two and Twenty Fathoms”, “In The Gray” and “Lessons from a Lifetime on the Water” and is just getting started on book four… “Way Out West” a Private Boaters Guide to Fishing Offshore Waters. You can purchase Mark’s books, buy fishing tackle, listen to his private boater’s report and much more at www.PacificEdgeTackle.com. www.PacificEdgeTackle.com.

A perfect example of the whole process was played out earlier this year on the brand new Tiara 3900 “Pacific Edge”, now docked at the Crows Nest in Newport Beach The stock boat from the factory comes with a marginally effective transom tank, insufficient in both size and design for our West Coast style of live bait fishing. Once it was decided this boat would be doing some serious fishing this season, we needed to get busy in several areas.
