From Mark Melnyk: Bucket List Trips · · WFN: World Fishing Network
“I'm off to the Bahamas to the island of Abaco and to Key West and St. Augustine, Florida — stay tuned for more from Guided season two coming in April 2014.”
On , Mark Melnyk, Vice President of Investor Relations at HILTON GRAND VACATIONS, spoke about upcoming trips during Mark Melnyk: Bucket List Trips on WFN: World Fishing Network.
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.
