Whether you’re chasing your first Snook or a brag-worthy Grouper, we’ll get you right where the action is.The waters around&nbsp;Marco Island and the Gulf of Mexico&nbsp;are packed with life—from the mangrove backwaters stacked with Redfish and Snapper to the nearshore wrecks crawling with Cobia, Permit, and other hard-fighting favorites. We’ve spent years learning these tides, tracking migrations, and figuring out what the fish are up to when they think no one’s watching.You don’t have to be a pro to fish with us—just bring a good attitude and maybe a little sunscreen. We provide everything else: rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and our best fish stories (some even true).Looking for more than fishing? We also offer&nbsp;combo trips&nbsp;that mix in shelling on secluded beaches, spotting dolphins, and cruising the mangroves. Around here, no two trips are ever the same—because the Gulf always keeps things interesting.So if you’re ready to trade traffic for tides and screens for sea breeze, come join us on the water.&nbsp;Marco Fishing Company&nbsp;is all about great fishing, good company, and stories worth retelling.

We headed out for a fall morning trip starting at mid-morning with conditions that were clear early on but becoming cloudy in the afternoon. We launched our 2 Hour Inshore Fishing Trip through Marco Fishing Company, ready to make the most of our time on the water.We focused our efforts on bottom fishing, spin fishing, and live bait fishing techniques during our session. These methods work well in our local waters, giving us multiple approaches to target whatever might be biting. The combination of techniques kept us active throughout the trip, switching between setups as conditions changed with the approaching clouds. Every cast and minute on the water was worth it.The cloudy afternoon conditions actually helped keep things comfortable as we worked through our different fishing approaches. Bottom fishing allowed us to target structure while the spinner and live bait setups gave us versatility to cover different areas. The changing weather kept the bite interesting, and we wrapped up the session with solid time on the water and good fishing action.If you're looking to get out on the water around Marco Island, our 2 Hour Inshore Fishing Trip offers the perfect opportunity to experience quality fishing without committing to a full day.

What a great day out, couldn't ask for more action! Frank and I headed out for an afternoon trip in early fall under partly cloudy skies, with Goodland waters offering perfect conditions for our inshore adventure. The weather stayed comfortable throughout our time on the water, and the conditions were just right for what we had planned with Marco Fishing Company's Marco Island Backwater Fishing: Bent Rod Thrills Await!

Once the stage was set, we focused our efforts on bottom fishing, casting with live bait, and working some jigging techniques to target the inshore species that call these waters home. Frank managed to boat some solid Grey Snapper along with a nice Redfish during our session. The Goodland area continues to produce consistent action for anglers willing to work the structure and grass flats, and the combination of live bait presentations and jigging proved effective for connecting with quality fish. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and plenty of bent rods throughout the afternoon!

If you're looking to experience the same kind of inshore fishing action that Frank enjoyed, I'd love to get you out on the water with Marco Fishing Company. Our Marco Island backwater fishing trips target species like Redfish, Grey Snapper, and other inshore favorites using proven techniques like bottom fishing, live bait casting, and jigging. We offer 2, 4, and 8 hour Private Inshore Fishing Charter options from Marco Island, giving you the flexibility to choose the trip length that works best for your schedule. The Goodland area waters continue to fish well, and with the right approach using live bait and targeted techniques, we can put you on some quality inshore species. Whether you're after that trophy Redfish or looking to fill the cooler with Grey Snapper, these Marco Island backwaters offer the perfect setting for your next fishing adventure.

Whether you're an early riser or a late-day drifter, this inshore and backwater trip is your ticket to the quiet side of Marco Island—where the snook are sneaky, the redfish are grumpy, and the sea trout bite like they’ve got something to prove.We’ll cruise the calm waters of the mangroves, oyster beds, and hidden creeks, casting live bait and artificials into the kind of fishy spots that don’t show up on maps. Expect light-tackle action, steady bites, and just enough chaos to keep things spicy. Morning trips are all about that crisp air, moving tides, and getting tight before breakfast. Afternoons bring the golden light, rising water, and fish sliding out of the shadows lookin’ for trouble. Great for families, first-timers, seasoned anglers—or anyone who prefers fish stories over traffic. You bring the good vibes, I’ll bring the rods, bait, and a cooler full of stories.
