What anglers said about fishing in Marathon

We were lucky to get a great weather day. If you have the luxury of booking very close to the date on the water, or rescheduling, watching the weather is helpful, as the week prior was not great weather.

Yes. We had booked pur trip a month in advance and were there during the coldest period on record in 10 years, so not a normal experience. we were also the only ones fishing on several days and still caught fish. It was slow but had we kept what we caught we would have limited on 3 species and caught 9 species in total. Not a bad trip even in the toughest conditions one could dream up.

Keep your expectations realistic. Fishing is not catching and we certainly did not see any huge trophy fish but we had a great time. Also, our weather was colder than average with 50 degree temperatures which for sure impacted the fish. We did have a great time and saw several large sea turtles and caught plenty of snapper.

Do the right research to find a guide that is reputable. The most expensive charyer isnt always going to be the best and the cheapest my not be the worst. a charter that has 5 stars with 5 reveiws may be good but that is not a reputation. but a charter with 120 reviews that has 4.9 stars is reputable!

Mutton snapper where available. Had a few bites but those fish are Grand Masters of the ocean Would suggest when grouper season is open as well so you have more options and targets to fish for.

Marathon is nice because it's more low key and fun than the more "serious" (and competitive) sport fishing out of Islamorada. For families or folks just looking to have a good day with lots of fish (and not necessarily break any records for size), then Marathon is better.

Being on the water fishing is a great time. Catching fish makes it even better. Lots of places to fish in Marathon

If this is your 1st time, you should listen to the Captain. JoJo knows the water and what's hitting as well as intel from other Captains. You should always be prepared for things to be slow until the Captain finds the fish. And always remember a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.

Sometimes the fish are there, sometimes they are not. They were then when we went. We probably caught 35 Mangrove Snapper, several Yellowtail, Blue Racers, a Macherel and landed two Cobia. great day!
