Mark Melnyk on consumer advice
From Mark Melnyk: Bucket List Trips · · WFN: World Fishing Network
“If you blow up the photos and the reels are salt‑kissed and rusted, the lures look old and the hooks are rusty, chances are that's indicative of the kind of trip you'll have; if everything looks spic and span and well cared for, that pride will come off in your trip.”

About Mark Melnyk
In a September 2014 appearance on WorldFishingNetwork.com, Mark Melnyk, host of the program *Guided*, discussed his personal fishing bucket list and offered advice to anglers planning trips. Melnyk named the Great Barrier Reef as a top destination for billfish and expressed interest in attempting an IGFA offshore Grand Slam. He also described the she fish, or inconnu, of Northern Canada as a rare and challenging freshwater species. Melnyk advised prospective travelers to scrutinize outfitter photographs for signs of equipment condition, stating that well-maintained gear is indicative of a quality trip. He recommended WorldFishingNetwork.com and the IGFA as sources for vetted, conservation-minded guides. Melnyk noted that, if money were no object, he would fish for billfish in Panama and target sailfish on the fly in Guatemala. He also announced that he was preparing to travel to the Bahamas, Key West, and St. Augustine, Florida, for the second season of *Guided*, which was scheduled to begin in April 2014.
