Snook

Marco Island Fishing Report


Hey there, fellow anglers! This is Captain Tyler Keegan from Slacktyde Charters, bringing you the latest fishing report from beautiful Marco Island. The waters here have been teeming with excitement as the snook season is in full swing. Over the past few days, we've been having fantastic success reeling in some trophy-sized snook. These prized game fish have been putting up quite the fight, giving anglers an exhilarating battle. The early mornings and late evenings have proven to be the best times to target these elusive creatures. Our go-to bait has been live pilchards and shrimp, which have been irresistible to the snook lurking around the mangroves and deeper channels. Remember to handle these snook with care and release any oversized ones, as they contribute to the sustainability of this incredible fishery. So, if you're looking for an unforgettable snook fishing experience, book your trip with Slacktyde Charters and join me, Captain Tyler Keegan, for an adventure you won't soon forget. Tight lines and happy fishing!
