About Your Trip

pend the day fishing the beautiful waters of Tampa Bay and Florida’s Gulf Coast with Captain Marc, a true local who grew up exploring these waters by any means necessary—bike, dock, canoe, or boat. Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Marc has turned a lifelong passion for fishing into a career helping others experience everything these rich inshore and nearshore waters have to offer.

Whether you’re brand new to fishing, bringing the kids out for a fun day, or chasing your next trophy catch, Captain Marc offers 4, 6, and 8-hour trips tailored to your goals, the time of year, and what’s biting. From Redfish and Spotted Seatrout to Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Grouper, and Mackerel, you’ll fish productive flats, reefs, wrecks, and channels with techniques like light tackle casting, bottom fishing, trolling, and spinning.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 22’ C Hawk center console, outfitted with top-tier electronics, a live bait well, an ice box, and safety equipment for up to 4 guests. It’s the ideal setup for small groups, families, or friends looking to share a quality day on the water. Marc runs Star rods paired with Penn reels, and always shows up with fresh live bait, top-notch tackle, and the local knowledge to put you in the right spot.

All trips include rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, drinks, and fish cleaning. Just bring your own snacks, sun protection, and a good attitude.

Here’s a quick look at what to expect:

4-Hour Trips are perfect for families or newer anglers looking for a laid-back experience. These shorter trips focus on a mix of fun and variety, with chances to hook Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and more.

6- and 8-Hour Trips offer more time to explore and go deeper into the fishery. With a full day on the water, you can work multiple spots, try different techniques, and pursue seasonal favorites like Tarpon, Snook, King Mackerel, or even head to nearshore reefs and wrecks when conditions allow.

Whether you're after a personal best or just looking to make memories with your crew, Captain Marc delivers a laid-back, professional trip full of local insight and genuine enthusiasm for putting people on fish.
