Marco Island Inshore: Versatile Fishing in Changing Summer Weather

June 28, 2025

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I had the pleasure of taking Heather out for a 2 Hour Trip in the late morning around Marco Island, FL. As we set off at 11:00 am with Marco Fishing Company, the weather was starting to shift. We began under clear skies, but clouds rolled in as the day progressed, with rain on the horizon. Despite the changing conditions, the waters of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve were inviting as ever, promising a solid day of fishing. Once the stage was set, we dove right into the action. We kicked things off with some bottom fishing, working the structure in the reserve. As the clouds thickened, we switched gears and tried our hand at trolling, covering more water to find where the fish were holding. The overcast conditions actually worked in our favor, allowing us to do some sight fishing in the shallows. While we didn't land any trophies this time around, every cast was a chance to connect, and we made the most of our time on the water. We wrapped up our short but sweet trip with smiles all around, having enjoyed the variety of techniques and the ever-changing summer weather that Marco Island offers.

April 8, 2024

Snook were hiding deep back in the mangroves. We found them working the edges of the mangroves using a light colored 3" swim bait. All of the snook were tucked deep back into the roots.
