Marco-Talk Blog

In case you didn't know, the Marco Island area is a fishing paradise. Snook, redfish, tarpon, trout, grouper, and snapper can be caught pretty much year round. My dad started taking me fishing for snook back in the early 1970's. Our favorite spot was called "The Compound". It was the old Army missile tracking station turned into The Deltona Corporation's heavy equipment storage yard. Dad worked for Deltona and the night watchman would let us in to fish. Some nights the snook were so thick we could catch fish on every cast. Today the place we once called "The Compound" is now Cape Marco.
