What a day with this great family from PA. This family had little experience fishing in the Florida Keys and decided to book a 3/4 reef and wreck trip. The goal was to catch enough snappers to bring home and also enjoy a few meals while on vacation. The second part of the goal was to catch a big fish! Everything fell into place today. The family was patient learning the tactic we showed them. In no time they landed 30 keeper Yellowtail Snappers a Tuna along with a few other reef fish. We then moved out to the wrecks in deeper water. Our first drift in 140 feet with a live pinfish hooked a keeper mutton snapper. Mutton snappers are not very well known by folks throughout the country. They are extremely finicky fish that fight hard and taste absolutely delicious. The young 6 year old angler not only reeled this Mutton Snapper in from 140 feet but she didn’t need any help. I was right by her side in case she did. The smile on her face I will never forget. This is why I do what I do! We did a few more drifts with no bites. We moved to another wreck. On the very last drift with live bait this time in 200 feet the rod bent in half! Dad took over and in less than 20 minutes landed a trophy African Pompano! This entire trip was epic which is why the 3/4 reef and wreck is one of our favorite trips. Thanks for reading and tight lines everyone!

Todays 3/4 reef and wreck was amazing! The winter in Marathon Florida brigs life to hungry fish fighting cooler water temperatures and faster current! This trip was on our 36 Yellowfin which always keeps everyone comfortable.

With winter fast approaching here in marathon Florida. The waters temperatures are cooling off. When this happens a whole new fishery comes alive.! This Cobia measured 50 Inches and gave this client the fight he dreamed of. We are ready to take novice and avid anglers out. Check out Manicsportfishing 36 Yellowfin with triple 300hp motors. The reef and wreck trips are the way to go in the winter! Tight lines

The last half day reef trips have been nothing short of amazing! The Yellowtail snapper are feeling the water temperature drop and they are feeding incredibly. We limited on on snappers ( 10 per person in the ocean at the time of this trip) . We then continued to fish live bait and hooked King Mackeral, Mutton Snapper, Sharks! Fishing in Marathon Florida is Amazing!

Our most recent reef and wreck trip was nothing short of amazing. The reef fish are feeling those temperature come down in the ocean! The deeper water wreck fish are also feeling it. The fish are here and eating! We caught so many variety we can’t include them all. Released a lot of fish and kept plenty for a few amazing dinners for our clients. Everyday is getting better! Hope to see you out there sooner than later!

A week or so ago we left the dock just after sunrise for a 6 hour offshore trip on our 36 foot Yellowfin. Every morning, every fishing charter is more exciting than the day before. Planning the night before for what could or may happen as well as planning for the unexpected is what we love. For 3 weeks a couple had been posting on the local Facebook pages they had to leave their boat they where living on for a medical emergency. Everything they owned was on that boat. Fast forward after 2 weeks the boat was spotted 40 miles off the coat of Cuba floating well. Due to the location and no immediate emergency no one was willing to make that long ride and tow the boat back in. Well in the Florida Keys we deal with some strong and constantly changing currents due to the location. We where 3 hours into our offshore trip without even a bite from. The stress kicks in because we want our clients to have a memorable experience and rarely do we go this long without action. Around 11:30 am off our starboard side we spot a boat that looks to be stopped in 800 feet of water. This was not a fishing boat and not in an area that someone would fish deep for big fish on the bottom. Thinking the worst but hoping for the best we immediately changed course and quickly made it over to the boat. Within a second I knew it was the lost boat. I was amazed the boat had floated almost 100 miles in 3 days. The first call was to the Coast Guard to let them know we found a boat the second was to make sure no one was on the boat in need of assistance. Once those important checks where done we started to fish around the boat. Wow is all we could say! We had Mahi Mahi up to 55 inches all around the boat! Blackfin tuna! Wahoo. Our clients where in awe. It was just epic fishing but even more rewarding when we got into cell range and we where able to speak to the boat owners and let them know we found their home! Not sure what was more rewarding for us on this trip but this is why we do what we do! You never know till you go. We still have chills talking about this trip and can’t wait everyday for the next one! Tight lines everyone and catch em up!
