Charters

Fishing in Marco Island

Marco Island is the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands, a maze of mangrove islands and backwaters at the edge of the Everglades on Florida’s southwest coast.

Backcountry

Guides fish the mangrove shorelines, creeks and oyster bars for snook, redfish and spotted seatrout, with mangrove snapper and sheepshead around structure. The backcountry is sheltered, so trips run on most days.

Tarpon and permit

Tarpon move through the passes and along the beaches from spring into summer, and permit and cobia are found on nearshore wrecks.

Gulf

Offshore trips fish ledges and wrecks for grouper, snapper and amberjack, and kingfish and Spanish mackerel pass through in the cooler months.

Good to know

Parts of the Ten Thousand Islands lie inside protected areas with their own rules. Licensed Florida charters cover their guests’ fishing licenses; snook and redfish have their own size and season rules — check current Florida FWC regulations.

Best time to go

Spring and early summer are prime for tarpon and snook; fall is excellent for redfish and trout; winter brings sheepshead and calm, clear backcountry days.
