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.

A great day aboard. The little migratory fish are here on the reef in Marathon Fl. The fish are little guys but a lot of fun. At one time we had over 12 fish behind the boat, an incredible sight. They are up on the reef in 20 to 30' of water pushing bait- mostly ballyhoo. To see this happen is amazing even to me doing it for 40 years. What a great time for my customers and crew. Also the bottom bite is off the scale. Yellow tail snapper, mutton snapper, king fish, and many other species. Time to come on down here for dinner and a show. Don't forget the sailfish are all catch and release but as much dinner as you want otherwise!

If you are not looking for a fun and busy day of fishing then don't book with Clendon. He is an excellent guide that puts a lot of effort to give a great fishing experience!

Captain Bryan was great--he took care of our family of 4. We caught a lot of fish, had a great time, and made some good memories. He cleaned and fileted them and we've got plenty of fish for dinner tonight and the next few weeks! Will definitely be going out with him again in the near future.

I can not say enough good things about Bones, out fishing guide. I took my 10 year old son out for a mom/ son day and Bones was positive and encouraging the entire time. We caught chanel catfish and one 21 lb blue catfish. Needless to say, this was a memorable trip. Thank you!!!

Bryan is an extremely professional and humorous guide. He was helpful and made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. We have never been on a charter fishing trip before and did not know what to expect. This was well worth the time and monetary expense. I highly recommend him.
