Book Your Next Adventure with Marco Fishing Company — Where the Bait's Fresh and the Stories Are Fresher
Ready to trade screen time for scream-drag? Come fish the wild beauty of Marco Island, Goodland, and the legendary Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Jamie Cox — a local pro who knows these waters like the back of his sunburned hand.
You’ll be targeting the usual suspects and then some: snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, mangrove snapper, cobia, sheepshead, black drum, tarpon, and whatever else decides to crash the party. These waters are full of surprises — and we know where they like to hide.
Depending on conditions and what’s biting, you might be spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or using a few tricks Captain Jamie’s picked up after years of chasing fins in the backcountry. It's hands-on, light tackle, high-fun Florida fishing at its finest.
This trip is perfect for all skill levels — from wide-eyed kids to salty veterans — and yes, we love getting the little ones on the water. Kids under 7 will need a life vest, so give us a heads-up to make sure we’ve got the right fit. And don’t forget the snacks… no one catches fish when they’re hangry.
You’ll be fishing aboard an 18’ bay boat built for sneaking through the shallows and hugging the mangroves, with room for up to 3 passengers. We provide the rods, reels, tackle, and live bait — and you won’t need a license either, so you can just hop in the car and meet us at the dock.
Bring sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and whatever drinks make you happy (beer’s fine, just skip the hard stuff and leave the glass at home). Captain Jamie will take care of the rest.
Sometimes the fish win. But a day on the water? That’s always a victory. Let’s make it happen — with Marco Fishing Company.

We had a great time with Capt Jamie. He is incredibly knowledgeable. Every spot he recommended worked. We caught a variety of fish and enjoyed our time out on the water. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait to get back out there.

We signed up last minute for a trip with non ideal conditions - he was super quick to clarify what we could expect of the experience, and adapted the plan so we could make the most of the afternoon. We appreciated his fun and professionalism and dedication to ensuring everyone has a wonderful time - would trust him with any friends, family, or clients to deliver and be very communicative!
