Wayne Gatling Guide Service
Explore the backcountry of Florida Bay with Wayne Gatling Guide Service and fish the unspoiled flats of Marathon, Florida like a true local! You’ll be blown away by the Keys and its surrounding islands while traversing its calm inshore flats in search of some impressive creatures that reside in shallower waters.
The Captain’s 25’ custom center console is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine and equipped with a fishfinder, GPS, a live bait well, ice box, and necessary safety gear. It fits up to 4 guests per trip and is great for a weekend outing with friends or the whole family. Capt. Wayne also welcomes children of all ages as he looks to inspire a new generation of anglers to come!
The Florida Bay is perfect for those who don’t like the rough ocean, but would still like to catch a wide variety of fish while staying closer to shore. You’ll mainly be fishing inshore and nearshore, as well as over reefs and wrecks along the coast.
Capt. Wayne specializes in light tackle spinning and bottom fishing, so you can expect to challenge everything from your hefty bottom-dwellers like Black Grouper, to your more acrobatic jumpers like Tarpon. Other species you’ll be targeting include King and Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Bluefish, Yellowtail Snapper, and Spotted Seatrout.
Penn rods and reels, tackle, and bait are supplied on each trip to ensure the best quality experience to all anglers. The captain will take care of your fishing license prior to departure, so you can just focus on relaxing and having a good time out on the water. Just be sure to pack some of your favorite snacks, drinks, and perhaps some lunch for your longer trips.
Whether you are an avid fisherman or just a beginner, you can count on Wayne Gatling Service to show you an awesome time. Bring some sunscreen, your favorite pair of sunglasses, and a camera to capture some truly unforgettable moments and book your next fishing trip with Capt. Wayne!
