Fresh Seven Mile Bridge Fishing Reports

Watch the wind and waves for offshore conditions if too rough stay inshore.

April is windy so be ready for some lumpy days and even weather cancellations

Use knowledgeable Captains! 5th Generation Fishing Charters is the one! They go above and beyond to take care of you at any cost.

After Bryce cleaned our fish, we brought it to Lazy Days Restaurant and had a great dinner! They cook your fish for you and it was incredible. Highly recommend it!

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

Absolutely! It was our first time out in these waters. The crew helped every step of the way on best methods for catching lots of fish.

Captain Robert and his mate, Dalton, are just incredibly patient, articulate and warm people who really help you learn how to catch fish. They have decades of knowledge you can rely on and the true patience of teachers who want you to have a great day. You are in excellent hands - novices and expert fishermen alike. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Follow captains recommendations on what’s biting where. Coming with a fixed expectation of what you want to catch is not always going to work out so stay flexible and remember that the most exciting fish may be the hardest to catch. Even the best captains can’t always put you on the fish you want.

It's worth the extra cost to have a boat to yourselves. Bigger fishing boats just don't give you the same attention nor the variety of fish to catch.

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.

January can be rough month with weather and what is biting. I felt I could trust them to recommend where to invest the time to put us on the fish that we wanted without pressure to even go out due to the sea conditions. We were comfortable in a not ideal day (5-8ft), but the boat and crew did great!

Absolutely would recommend for first timers. Every person I dealt with from captain jays was positive and overall just made the trip beyond expectations.

Excellent opportunity to catch fish in early fall. Temps are pleasant and any day on the water is better than a lot of other things you could be doing.

First time fishing Marathon in October. Tuna bite was every bit as good as my previous trips in spring/summer. Mahi and other species were great too. Water was not crowded and we had our pick of captains. We'll go again in October.

Water in July is a little warm for fishing, but we still enjoyed our trip...but the warmer water was great for kids going down the slide and swimming.

A Captian who is knowledgeable about the area and fishing in changing water conditions (temperature, currents, and tides) is a must

Bring hat and sunscreen. Our boat had a cover we could get under which was a life saver. Wouldn't go out without a boat with that type of cover, it made all the differnce

It was a very hit day, but this summer overall has been very hot. The water was amazing, very clear and beautiful green/blue.

These guys are so helpful. Anything you need for fishing is provided. Don’t forget sunscreen and a to take Dramamine the day before not the morning of… makes folks real tired when taken same day. WE did half day reef fishing trips. Excellent experience.
