If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Marathon, book a trip with Atlantic Gulf Fishing Charter. Captain JoJo will be your guide, offering years of local experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Black Grouper, Blackfin Tuna, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Sailfish, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Great Barracuda, and whatever else is biting. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Joseph can also have you kite fishing.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
