Tarpon -(Megalops Atlanticus) Is known as the “Silver King” the Tarpon is probably the most exciting fish to catch here in the Florida Keys. They can grow to over 200 lbs. and can be found here all year long.
Snook -(Centropomus Undecimalis) can be compared to a large mouth bass on steroid. This exciting fish can be caught all year long in the Florida Keys and Everglades.
One of the most exciting species of fish we have is the Tarpon. These fish are known for their acrobatic jumps and long drag screaming runs.
Anglers can catch Tarpon using either live bait, lures, and even fly fishing flies.
It all depends on the skill level of the fisherman and of course what kind of mood the fish are in that particular day. Captain Rich Smith is a South Florida native and has many years of experience guiding anglers to these prized gamefish.
We don’t just sit you in a chair and hand you a rod with a fish on it. Each of our anglers will have a hands on listening and learning experience. Captain Rich wants you to learn as much as possible about these fish during your trip that way you will have the same appreciation as he does when hopefully you land your trophy Tarpon.

Sharks are one of the most exciting fish to catch in the Florida Keys. We target them in shallow water and chum them up to the boat. You can actually pick the exact 4-10 foot long shark you would like to catch.
Here you can find some of our recent Marathon fishing charters catch of the day pictures from our cleaning table at Capt. Hook’s Marina. We are happy to clean your catch so you can enjoy fresh fish while staying in the Florida Keys.
