Capt. Quinn was a very honest and hard working captain. He told me on the way out that the bite was slow because of the water movement and the moon phase. He was right, the bite was slow but he worked his tail off keeping the 4 of us baited up, chumming and relocating to several wrecks and reefs. He got us set up on a couple AJ’s but we lost those battles. He took us to another reef and we caught 15 Yellow-tail Snappers. We could have caught our limit of 40 but he recommended only 15 for conservation reasons, which I totally agreed with. After that we went to another wreck and my son and I each caught a nice AJ. So 15 YTS and 2 AJ’s, and calm seas equaled a great day in my book. I look forward to another trip with him one day.

This was my 4th tril with captain Quinn, whi h alone bespwaaks my feelings sabout the quality. Hoever, before Jerseg Key, we went woth gwo other guides. Theg wete uniformed and inexperienced. Then we found Jerseg Key. Theh are personable, knowlegeable, experienced and neved stop searching locations to put you on fish. Simply said, rhey care about their customers. We owned a house in Marathon for 15 years, still keep our fishing boat there, and do our own fishing but when i do not want to be the captain and catch fish myself, its Jersey Keys for our family of all ages.

Not the best conditions with wind going one way, current another, and a full moon on top of it, but the captain still put us on the fish. Lots of Yellowtail and some Porgies to bring home for dinner, plus several hookups on some big Amberjack that we had a blast fighting in for some catch and release.
My son also landed a great Black Grouper (caught and released) that was pretty special.
If we’re down this way again, I would definitely do this trip again. Highly recommend to anyone looking to fish out of Marathon.

Awesome charter, great equipment, clean boat and an awesome guide! Quinn worked like crazy from the minute we started until we returned to the dock, trying multiple locations and different tactics to put us on fish. Great conversations and super-knowledgable on the water. I have fished all over the world and would recommend booking an outing with these guys. My family had a blast and it made our time in the Keys memorable.
When we arrived Captain Quinn said fishing hadn’t been that great this morning due to the wind. I love the way he was up front and honest took us to the first spot and we were catching fish. I am so glad I did not cancel but he gave us the opportunity but I just had a gut feeling and did not want my grandsons to miss a opportunity to fish and we were on fish all day. Funny thing is none of the other boats even attempted to go out. Thank you again Captain Quinn, by the way, that’s just first thing
