With two oceans to choose, good fishing can always be found. Fish the deep blue water for marlin, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, dolphin and more. Pole the flats while sightcasting tarpon, permit and bonefish with light tackle and fly. Fish the reef's or back country for cobia, snook, redfish, snapper, barracuda and grouper. The drop to 200ft plus is less than four miles from our dock for the start of some high yield deep sea fishing for large schools of dolphin, cobia, wahoo etc. There are a hundred patch reefs within two miles of the dock loaded with yellow-tail and mangrove snapper, Hogfish and grouper. Just few miles away through Knight Channel and Vaca Cut, is access to the Gulf of Mexico on Marathon's North side. The "Bayside" here seems endless in all directions. Grouper fishing in the gulf and the endless supply of lobster will surely fill your daily bag limits. A variety of fishing charters are available in the Marathon area.
Fantastic coral encrusted Sombrero Reef is only four miles to the southwest with easy access across the shallow water inside the reef even by small boats on calm sea days. Sombrero is a protected reef but there are a hundred smaller reefs nearby of the edge of the deep water to hunt lobster and snorkel the endless and varied sights of the wonderful reefs. Spear fishing and lobstering is not prohibited in the waters around Marathon. The Bayside (Gulf-of-Mexico) his open access without restrictions like the Upper Keys. There is a large supply of excellent well-known dive operators that operate everything from large yachts to small personalized two person dives of all the popular dive sites around the Middle Keys. Of course one of the most popular activities is just pulling behind a boat on the Bayside to check out the deep coral holes filled with fish and lobster (called Honey holes).
