Captain
Jay Daniels

Member since November 2020 Marathon, United States
Background
My main mentor was my dad who introduced me to fishing on lakes, rivers, and the ocean. He introduced me to fishing and it bit like a bug. I eventually became a mate and was the mate for some of the best captains on the east coast for 9 years. I have been the captain of Runaway Sportfishing Charters for the last 11 years. I welcome you to Marathon, Florida. Book one of my trips and let me take you nearshore or offshore for a memorable fishing experience like never before.
