As the week draws to a close I must say we have had some excellent fishing reports. Large numbers of Mangrove snappers as well as Red fish and Snook have been reported. The Trout fishing has slacked off a lot due to the hot weather conditions resulting in very warm waters. Overall every thing looks good for a strong end to our summertime fishing here on Marco Island.

It has been over a year since I have put my Parker 25 SE into service for my Marco Island fishing charter business and I must say I have not been disappointed with the results. As a charter fishing vessel this boat get a lot of use and I have logged over a thousand hours in a year. I have not had any failures with the boat except for live well pumps, but that is par for the course. This boat will float in 15 inches and is a great platform for my family fishing excursions, where I accommodate up to 6 people. Back water or off shore it can do it all.
