Marathon Florida

[Finatic]

I've been fishing the Marathon Lady for more than 10 years now. Great bunch of guys and a quality operation. There is a restaurant at the boat on rt 1 that will cook the fish for you very reasonable. Best fish dinner in the keys.

Fished Islamorada once, nothing to really do after fishing for day, good food at the Green Turtle if still open. At Bud & Mary's there were always plenty of guides waiting to book trips.


Marathon much better for life after fishing.

No matter where U go along the keys watch out for cops. Do not drink much if driving, they get you for driving and speeding.

If in Marathon best tackle shop about 4 miles south from Marathon Lady on left called "The Tackle Box," they have everything. The one next to boat and restaurant sucks.

you can also rent center console boats by the day by the 7 mile bridgeuse to cost a couple hundred a day plus gas.

We've switched to a rental duplex on Marathon. We have 3 offshore trips booked for every-other day. Two are out of Islamorada, the other Marathon. Hope to hit a sail on the offshore trips.

Only worry is the wind.....although we are fishng a 31 regulator with trip yamis. Should take the seas just fine.


What to do on the inbetween days we will decide when we get there. Maybe backcountry fishing or some head boat or reef action just for fun.

I heard of Bud and Marys and we will check it out for those other days.
Three weeks to go !!!!!!!!!!
