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...

Don't forget the sailfish are all catch and release but as much dinner as you want otherwise!

Hey David! We had some wind come in yesterday afternoon/today which clouded up the shallow patch reefs and made for some good fishing today. Water temp has dropped off to 78 degrees and we are starting to see a lot of our winter migratory fish!

    We had a great experience caught a variety of fish! We would do it again!

    On a slow day when it seemed no one was catching fish, Jorge worked hard and got us several hookups, including an outstanding sailfish that we'd never had boated without his expert boat jockying. I've fished with a lot of guide's, and he's among the best.

    Captain Jorge was great. We unfortunately went out at a slow time of year and the fishing that day wasn't the best. We still managed to catch a few and Jorge worked hard to make sure we all got a fish. Also a knowledgeable and cool guy all around, would definitely go out again!

    Capt TJ is the bomb. He put us on fish constantly and we limited out on mahi (good size). We had 4 rods+ blowing up consistently and first Mate Bill kept everyone organized. Best Father’s Day ever ! Capt TJ we will be back for sure.

    Had a great time out on the water with capt jorge. The boat was kept nice and clean. Jorge worked his socks off getting the rods baited and out. We caught a few good fish too so all in all it was a good day

    I would highly recommend fishing with George. He is super knowledgeable about the area fishing and he kept me busy catching fish. George is also just a cool dude who was fun to be around during and after fishing. His yacht club cooked up our fish after George cleaned them. It was great! We brought 5 fish in and put at least that many back in the water.
