About Marco Island (Caxambas Pass)
Caxambas Pass drains the bays and mangrove islands at the south end of Marco. It is one of the last stops for the Gulf run before the Ten Thousand Islands.
Timing here is late: the score's season window runs weeks behind the Panhandle.
Why fish here during the run
- Late-season action after the northern stations quiet down.
- Mangrove backcountry holds large numbers of mullet.
- Snook, redfish, and tarpon feed around the pass.
