Captain Jacob Cole 

If you're ready to start fishing in Marco Island, book a trip with Captain Jacob Cole. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jacob can tell you all about the local fishery.

Permit, Snook, Redfish, Pompano, Tarpon, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year.

For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Jacob also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly-fishing gear.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks!

You'll be casting lines from a 21' center console with room for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. Jacob has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow the regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation; just be sure to avoid hard liquor, as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.
