Marco Island nearshore
reef & wreck fishing
Snapper, grouper, sheepshead and Spanish mackerel on natural reefs and wrecks 2 to 5 miles out.
Steady action without the long run
This charter runs 2 to 5 miles into the Gulf, deep enough for action but close enough that your coffee’s still hot by the first cast.
We drop lines on natural reefs and old wrecks full of snapper, grouper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel and whatever else crashes the party. Expect bottom fishing, jigging and some light trolling if the bite is hot.
What you’ll catch
- Mangrove and lane snapper
- Grouper
- Sheepshead
- Spanish mackerel
- Grey triggerfish
- Goliath grouper (catch and release)

“So we met Capt. Cox (Jamie). He was knowledgeable of the area, cracked a few jokes and put us on some fun fish. The best part was going from sea to plate: we took our catch to the Crabby Lady around the corner and they cooked it for us.”

“Captain Dominic is a consummate professional and a blast to fish with. He worked incredibly hard to put us on a ton of redfish during our 4 hour charter.”
