    Fantastic Family Fishing Charter with Captain Izaak

    Half Day Reef Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had a great fishing trip with Captain Izaak and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly charter in the Keys. We have three kids, so when booking the trip my biggest request was plenty of action to keep everyone engaged, and Captain Izaak absolutely delivered. He was incredibly patient with the kids, easygoing, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We ended up catching 24 yellowtail snapper, which kept the rods bent and the kids excited all morning. Captain Izaak shared great information throughout the trip, helped everyone feel comfortable, and created a relaxed atmosphere where we never felt rushed. He filleted our catch when we returned to the dock and we cooked the snapper that same day, and it was some of the freshest, most delicious fish we've ever had. If you're looking for a captain who is great with families, knows how to put you on fish, and genuinely wants everyone to have a great time, Captain Izaak is your guy. We'll definitely be booking with him again on our next trip to Marathon.

    Amazing fishing trip

    Half Day Reef Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    We had a terrific experience with captain Isaac. He communicated with me several times before the trip. Getting to his boat was easy and safe. We felt comfortable, welcomed and safe for 6 people. He was terrific and seamlessly helped 6 of us with reels, baiting, and procuring our catch. We caught over 30 fish! He even filed them at the dock and we got bonus shark feeding frenzy show at the dock. We will definitely hire him again.

    Caught our limit! Kids had a blast!

    Half Day Reef Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    Capt Izaak was the man! We caught our limit of mangrove snapper and threw a bunch back. Also caught a Spanish mackerel and a bunch of other species! Highlight of the day the boys caught a 8 foot bull shark that took about 30 mins to get in! Capt Izaak is very professional, kind and knows exactly what he is doing! We highly recommend and if we come back to Marathon, we will be sure to book with him again!

What's biting with Fishing Kings in Marathon

The rain finally eases off in October, and the temperature drops back to a sane 85. The Tuna are at their height this time of year, with Yellowfin and Blackfin biting well offshore, and the Tarpon and Snook are still filling up the shallows.

End of the year, end of Grouper season

Jan 1, 2024 • Marathon
Happy New Year! The beginning of the year marks the end of our Grouper season, while disappointing for our visiting tourists it is vital to the longevity of the fishery. But the best part about the Keys is there is always something exciting to fish for! With the winter we also get a lot of wind, for people wanting to stay on the calmer side of things the Bay fishing has been great! with some nice Mangrove snapper and the Spanish Mackerel showing up.

Water cooling down but the bite is heati

Dec 1, 2023 • Marathon
With our "winter" finally cooling down the water the big yellowtails have been chewing! These big Flag yellowtails will definitely put your angling skills to the test, they require a lot of finesse to get into the boat. They are also one of the best eating fish in the entire Florida Keys! With the cooler water temps we have a bunch of variety showing up with some big Kingfish and Ceros on the reef as well as Cobia and more! Book your trip now and get in on the hot winter time bite!
