Backwater Fishing
Relax and fish among the calm shallow shores of the 10,000 Islands.These tranquil waters hold numerous game fish such as Snook, Tarpon. Redfish, Snapper, Trout, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Sheepshead and Ladyfish among others. As your cruising the shallows see Dolphins, Manatee and many different land and sea birds.
The backwaters require a little casting of either live or artificial baits along mangrove covered shores and sandy beaches. Easy to learn and we love teaching those new to fishing. This is a great adventure for the whole family. Want to have even more fun for the family? Add Island Shelling to your fishing trip for a family combo trip that everyone will enjoy.

Offshore Fishing
If you enjoy the adventure of the deeper waters, try heading offshore to some of Marco’s wrecks or artificial reefs.Catch the famous grouper and snapper that can become your night’s dinner or that gamefish that fights so well. King & Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Shark or the granddaddy of Grouper, the Goliath Grouper (this monster can weigh up to 600lbs.)
The waters here are warm and shallow which provides ample area with numerous kinds of fish. Because of the depth, the waters can get a little choppy when the winds are strong from the south or west.
But our winds usually prevail from the east giving us somewhat calm conditions most of the year. This is great fun for the family and can often be combined with the backwater fishing for a combination trip of inshore and offshore fishing. Or if the kids need to stretch their legs stop off at a barrier island and find that one-of-a-kind shell.

shelling & Sightseeing
If you enjoy relaxing, this is the trip for you. We leave the dock and venture out into the mangrove Islands where you can see Dolphins, Osprey, Egrets, Herons, Ibis among other wildlife. Pull up along a beautiful white sandy beach covered in seashells. Grab your bag and walk in search of those special shells to take home.
