It was much better than I expected. I would bring a windbreaker as it was very windy on water.

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.

Be open to catching what’s running. Take direction from the captain and crew.

If it is not a calm day and you can’t go to the reef or the hump, don’t go out.

Check what's in season first if you have your heart set on a particular species of fish.

I feel that if fishing is the #1 priority then perhaps go to a specific fishing charter only guide.

Make sure you tell the Capt what you want to do and he will make sure you get your fish.

Could be a beautiful choppy day or super flat like a lake. It's hard to predict.

Make arrangements to ship fish home ahead of time. Also check with the airlines.
