Marathon Bonefish Fishing Charters |
The middle of the Florida Keys is known as the islands of Marathon. It's 2 hours south of Miami. Marathon is home to some world class inshore / offshore fishing all year long. The inshore backcountry guides generally target Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon when chasing the "glamour species." But can also find a mix of other species like snapper, barracuda's and shark's when just wanting to bend the rod. This fishery is good all year long with the peak being April-June during our annual Tarpon Season. This time of year brings a ton of anglers from all over the world to witness the massive migration of Tarpon 60-200 lbs. These fisherman use light tackle spinning rods and the more advanced use fly fishing gear. |
| Marathon has a shoreline that is lined with clear flats that are fed by the nearby Gulf Stream. This keeps the water temperature pretty constant ranging 72-85 degrees all year long. Numerous crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs can be found here and pretty much all of our species just love to eat them. During certain parts of the tide schools of fish will come onto the flats to hunt. Often times the water is so shallow that the tails of the fish will actually stick out of the water. This is what we call "Tailing Fish" and is a real treat for any angler to experience. Here you can see Michelle with a nice Redfish that was caught on a artificial bait. |
