Brad Picariello Marathon, Florida Reported: 3 years ago

The migration of the larger pelagic fish are coming threw the Florida Keys on there way to the Gulf of Mexico. It is a site that only happens a few times a year. Sailfish, marlin, blue fin tuna, cobia, mahi-mahi, black fin tuna, ect. One of the best time of the year for us. It’s all site fishing with live bait. The numbers can be staggering. We caught and released 28 sail fish a few days ago. Only in 100' of water or less. Only 5 miles offshore. Exciting time in the keys. Come on down and go fishing.

Great day with Ken! Had a blast kept us in the fish all day long. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be booking him again on our next trip.

Trip: Islamorada Fishing
★★★★★
We went out on a day when weather conditions were less than ideal and honestly I wasn’t sure we’d see much action at all. Despite the conditions, Captain Bill’s fishing and boat knowledge kept us in the game. The highlight of the trip was catching a 140lb lb Tarpon, the fight of a lifetime. If you are looking for a local guide who knows his craft, works hard, and has an easy to talk to personality, I would highly recommend Captain Bill.

Book with Captain J!! We had such an amazing time. Me and my aunt got lucky and had the boat to ourselves, he brought us out to great spots. I am beyond overjoyed with the outcome of the charter. We got 14 good eating fish, yellow tail and snapper. And I caught a giant 10ft nurse shark! Definitely the best fight of my life, my body was a wreck the next day lol. We had such an amazing time because of captain j, he baited our hooks for us and took off all the fish. He was ready for everything, and cleaned and prepared all our catches
