Johnny was fishing with his dad in the Pay lakes in Southern Ohio, looking for Catfish and Blue Gills. He has also fished the bayou outside of New Orleans for Redfish, and went out to the oil rigs for Amberjack and Grouper, among other species. He then went over to Jacksonville FL in 1977 and fell for the blue water.

My boys and I had a great fishing trip with Johnny and Cody. Great guys; they worked hard to get us in the best spots to catch fish. Would definitely seek them out for another trip when back in Marathon.

Brian made sure the kids had an amazing time.

Also, having the Keys Fisheries cook what we caught was one of the best sea food meals we ever had!
