About
Combine backwater fishing, and Nearshore fishing among Marco Island and Naples waters!
Fishing for Florida's most popular game-fish among the mangroves of the 10,000 islands. Backwater fishing offers calm waters, beautiful scenery and little travel. Nearshore fishing ventures into the Gulf of Mexico up to a maximum of 9 miles offshore fishing the wrecks and reefs off of the coast of Marco Island and Naples.
If you enjoy the adventure of the deeper waters, this trip also heads offshore to some of Marco's wrecks or artificial reefs. Catch the famous grouper and snapper that will become your nights dinner or that gamefish that fights so well. King Mackeral, Little Tuni, Cobia, Permit, Shark or the granddaddy of Grouper, the Goliath Grouper (this monster can weigh up to 800 lbs.)
Backwaters: Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout, Tarpon, Pompano, Snapper, Jack Crevale and Ladyfish. Offshore: Tarpon, Grouper, King Mackerel, Shark, Snapper, Goliath Grouper, Permit, Cobia, Barracuda and Trippletail.
