Keys Fishing
The Florida Keys are world renown for the abundance and variety of saltwater
sport fish.
 We
specialize in off-shore fishing for Mahi-Mahi (Dolphin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Marlin
and Tuna, typically traveling 10 to 30 miles off-shore in the Gulf Stream.
We also catch Cobia, Amberjack, Bonefish, Tarpon, Snook, Permit, Pompano,
Yellowtail, Snapper, Mackerel and Grouper depending on the season. The
fish you catch are prepared for you and there are several local restaurants that
will cook your catch.
Typically the best months for off-shore fish like Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin,
Sailfish, and Tuna are from April through October. Reef fishing for
Grouper, Yellowtail, Snapper, and Mackerel - between 2 and 4 miles off-shore - is
good year round but is best in the winter months, November thru March.
Of course, following your fishing experience you will want to explore Marathon and
the surrounding keys.
There are plenty of great restaurants and activities here. Marathon truly
is the Heart of the Keys!
