My son and I had an excellent time with Captain John and I would recommend him to anyone. We were lucky enough to do two trips with him during our recent stay in Marathon. He is super knowledgeable and it was clear from the beginning, that he has a true passion for fishing. Captain John worked hard to give us the best opportunity for success. He is also personable and we enjoyed his company, which is important when you spend 8 hours with someone. The booking process was simple and Captain... More

Captain John had a great plan, executed it seamlessly, and didn’t hesitate to deviate from it when he thought we could catch more fish by doing so. He seemed to know the water like the back of his hand. We caught snapper, yellow jack, crevalle jack, barracuda, and two sharks. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough.

Fishing with Captain John was the biggest highlight of our 10 day vacation! He worked hard and got us on tarpon. One that my husband got right up to the boat was being chased by a hammerhead shark right at the boat! Captain had to cut out off so it might have a chance to get away. I think we had 7 tarpon on, got 3 to the boat and one giant grouper. I will book him again in a heartbeat if we’re back this way. Thanks for an awesome experience!

theres never a guarantee when it comes to fishing, but the right boat, tackle and captain certainly help.  My son and I were fortunate enough to both catch nice Tarpon, but couldnt have done that without John, our captain.. he went out if his way to make sure we were in the right spot at the right time.  An amazing experience i got to share with my son.

I try to do all kinds of fishing when i travel and this trip was one that i will always remember.  Had a blast tarpon fishing and John was an amazing guide.  We had bites starting within 10 minutes of leaving the docks and one of the best fights i’ve ever experienced.  Tarpon fishing with Callion is a must do when in the keys.
