Marco Island Florida Sports and Outdoors

Marco Island lies in the midst of some of the world's best game fishing waters. Whether choosing offshore or backwater, experienced fishing guides are available to serve both the avid sports fisherman or the weekend enthusiast.

Among the many varieties of species caught bottom fishing over artificial reefs, wrecks, or over patches of rock are red and black Grouper, Lane Snapper, Amberjack, Cobia and Jewfish. Backwater catches include Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Whiting, and small Shark. Redfish, Tarpon and Snook are caught seasonally.
