May Fishing Report – Marathon, Florida Keys

The summer fishing bite is building fast here in the Florida Keys, and we have been staying on the fish!

Recent offshore trips have delivered classic “Mahi Madness” action with aggressive mahi crashing weed lines and floating debris. Anglers enjoyed nonstop excitement, including multiple hookups and beautiful keeper mahi coming over the rails.

Back on the reef, the bite has stayed steady with quality Yellowtail Snapper and Mackerel making great table fare. Jim’s recent 4-hour reef trip produced fresh fish for dinner and even turned into an incredible homemade fish sandwich just hours...

May Fishing Report – Marathon, Florida Keys

The summer fishing bite is building fast here in the Florida Keys, and we have been staying on the fish!

Recent offshore trips have delivered classic “Mahi Madness” action with aggressive mahi crashing weed lines and floating debris. Anglers enjoyed nonstop excitement, including multiple hookups and beautiful keeper mahi coming over the rails.

Back on the reef, the bite has stayed steady with quality Yellowtail Snapper and Mackerel making great table fare. Jim’s recent 4-hour reef trip produced fresh fish for dinner and even turned into an incredible homemade fish sandwich just hours
after leaving the dock.

With warming water temperatures, calmer conditions, and summer patterns beginning to settle in, we’re excited for what’s ahead for mahi, tuna, snapper, and reef fishing in Marathon.

Whether you want fast-paced offshore action or a fun family reef trip, now is a great time to fish the Florida Keys with us!

When the wind lays down… you go.
Then straight to the reef for a cooler full of yellowtail
Sun out. Seas flat. Rods bent all day.
Spring fishing in the Florida Keys is only getting better.

We had a great group of 8 this week on two boats (thank you Rapid Fire Roger Kirk) and landed some bucket list fish!!!
Trolling some beautiful weed lines Blacks Pearl found Mahi and Tuna while Rapid Fire snagged a Wahoo!!
All and all a solid day on the water between windy weeks
We have some April availability and May bookings are coming in. With Mahi season kicking off and Tuna at the humps- this is the time to lock in your trip to make memories!!

The Mahi are showing up!!!
Its getting to be that time of year when "The Green Guys" make their way through The Keys!!!
If this year's bite is anywhere close to last years, it will be awesome!!! Last year we averaged about 26 inch Mahi.
Somedays were better than others but we caught fish!!!
The thrill of the hunt and hearing the drag peeling off is what makes it fun!!!
Blackfin Tuna are hanging off the reef in about 250ft of water, which is a hop skip and a jump from land.

Fishing is getting better and better by the day, offshore the sailfish, tunas, kingfish and wahoos are starting to move in and there's still a couple mahis around here and there.
The reef and wrecks had been very active with all kinds of snappers, groupers, mackerels, yellowjacks and more.
The Bay is also a good choice when the ocean waters are a little choppy, back there the Spanish mackerels are very think, some mangrove and lane snappers and a few cobias are staring to show up.
Fishing should keep on getting better as the next few cold fronts move through...

    We had an amazing time iguana hunting! There were thunderstorms in the distance when we arrived, and I honestly thought the trip would be canceled—but our guides, Wesley and Matt, knew exactly what they were doing. We never got a single drop of rain and they spotted way more iguanas than we ever would have on our own. The only thing I’d do differently is bring my own flashlight. They had plenty to share, but not enough for everyone to have one at the same time. Highly recommend this adventure!
