Take your time, fish in shore and near shore on your own, but make sure to take an off shore charter!

Scrutinize the captain closely. The captain we thought we hired was in Michigan chartering fishing trips. His business won't last long down here if he doesn't clean up his act.

Captain Buddy is an expert in the area; he is on the fish and also a great guy. Just show up and catch fish.

Sure. We have fished here on 3 prior occasions with fun and success. This was the one bad experience, and was due to the captain.

If this is your first trip to Marathon, try and book your trip on Jersey Key Charters. We had an awesome day. The fishing was amazing.

Keep an eye on the weather! Winds really affect the ability to get out on open water.

Water was a little murky after hurricane Helene but we still caught plenty of fish.
Elise Garrett
Quick drying clothing and a towel or dry change of clothes, very possible to get a little wet!

Bring live shrimp from further up in Florida. No live shrimp or pinfish anywhere in Keys this week

Great time of year to fish. If you have never been to South Florida WEAR SUNSCRERN!

The captain provided everything needed for fishing, just bring sunscreen and/or a fishing shirt.

Light tackle, I was surprised how light we went. It was an absolute blast though.
John Bartrum
It was much better than I expected. I would bring a windbreaker as it was very windy on water.
Kristy Clipper
100% would highly recommend. Great time. Laid back and very accommodating staff.

This was an inshore gulf trip. We were able to fish on a windy day. In January it’s windy a lot.

If you’re coming out to Marathon, be sure to use Diego at flat out fishing. He’s the best.

Water water water and big hats. And marathon bait and tackle is really a good shop.

Always book with charters that have the most experience they know the spots and the tides.

waters were at 91 degrees...tough fishing, but I think you can always get some snappers

Plan ahead and use Charters as they know where to go and for what kinds of fish.
