WOW! What a great day. We selected Marco Reel & Shore Charters based on reviews, we didn't look for the most fish on reviews. However we looked at the reviews on how the Captain is with people, we made the decision to choose Seth as Captain. While sitting at the Marina prior to going out we watched many guides talking and interacting with people, we said we hope that is Seth and our guide. Seth truly enjoys what he does and a true people person. My wife and I were out to catch some fish, before we knew it with Seth. We felt like we knew him for years, we fished several spot and had fish at each location. My wife has never used a spinning reel prior and Seth would cast her line for her each time. I could go on forever about what the day meant for us, but I think you get it. If you want a guide who is friendly, loves what he does, Seth is your guide. Oh by the way the fish is a bonus and Seth will tell you where the best place to have it prepared.

2024 My son and I did a backwater fishing trip with Captain Seth. He was an amazing guide. Super knowledgeable and made us feel like family. We will be booking with Marco Reel & Shore Charters for many years to come. 2025 Marco Reel And Shore Charters did an amazing with Part 1 of 3 of our trips with them yesterday. Captain Seth we already knew from the past was great. But he absolutely crushed it. Even with how shy our youngest is, he had her fishing and helped her reel in her 1st catch. He put us on all sort of fish. The Goliath Grouper and 50lb stingray were probably the catches of the day. Check out the photos. The King Mackerel were delicious. We kept them all and had them for dinner. Looking forward to our next trip out.
