    Half a day fishing trip with Captain Marc.

    5 Hour Trip – Drift Trip on May 25, 2025 • 3 adults

    Captain Marc was very polite, patient and funny! He had first hand knowledge of the area and of some great fishing spots. Even when the bite was slow Captain Marc was determined to find us some fish. Overall it was a very fun and pleasant experience. I highly recommend Captain Marc and would definitely book again!

    We had a great trip today with Capt Marc. He went out of his way to put us on fish and make sure we had a good trip. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to put some fish in the fridge.

    Fishing with Marc

    Full Day Trip for 3 Anglers on August 20, 2022 • 2 adults

    Marc made every effort to make it a great fishing trip. The things he could control like fresh bait, quality fishing rods, numerous fishing locations and explanation of fishing procedures were all handled professionally and expeditiously. Boat issues that were out of his control shortened the trip before its completion.
