Page 98 www.marcoreview.com Spring 2011 Landing a big game fi sh has to be one of the most exciting things that most people will ever do, but if you've ever taken someone fi shing for the fi rst time and watched the delight on their face when they succeed in landing a six inch snapper, then you realize that the old saying is true... size doesn't always matter! Captain Jim Ponder of Anglers Charters specializes in fun family fi shing. If it's trophy fi sh you want, then he'll be happy to oblige, but he says the major-ity of his customers just want to enjoy being out on the water and experience the thrill of catching a fi sh, whatever its size. And don't worry that a whole day of fi shing might be too much for all the family, Capt. Jim can always mix things up and fi nd a desserted beach for some shelling, follow a group of dolphin for a while or maybe stop off at a waterside restaurant for some lunch. His spacious and stable deck boat is perfect for navigating the shallow back-waters around Marco and is also comfortable in the near shore gulf waters. It's ideal for those who are less mobile, and can even accommodate a wheelchair.ON THE WATER
