Wreck Fishing Charters in Marathon and The Florida Keys
The deeper wrecks off Marathon is usually where all the big boys live. Using live bait, dropping down anywhere from 115 feet deep to 250 feet deep, is usually what we’ll do when looking for mutton snapper, amberjacks, Almaco jack, Big Jack Crevalle, Vermillion snapper, and sharks.
This type of fishing usually involves tired, achy muscles and groin bruising. None of these fish want to leave the deep and will show you that they don’t want to leave the deep. There is no doubt in your mind when one of these bad boys inhales your bait.
I can’t count how many times the rod has bent in half and someone says…
“Oh my God, I’m hooked on the bottom.”
That’s when I reply with laughter…
“The bottom doesn’t fight back- that’s a fish!”
…And the struggle begins…
I’ve had customers worn out within two hours of fishing and couldn’t take any more. Nowhere else in the world can you do that.
