The Florida Keys offers world-class offshore fishing unrivaled by anywhere else in the country, and according to the International Game Fish Association, there have been more world records established in the Keys than any other saltwater fishing destination in the world. For some of the heaviest angler action in the Keys available, you’ve got to stop by Marathon! What makes Marathon so special from the other keys is it’s location and close proximity to the Seven Mile Bridge, famous not just for it’s incredible length and history, but the tons of fish hanging around – mackerel, shark, and tarpon!
Marathon is also known as a world-renown fishing spot for it’s depth and openness on the Gulf side, attributable to the Marathon West Hump, a unique underwater platform that sinks as deep as 1,100 feet, attracting humongous gamefish. If you’re planning a fishing trip to the Florida Keys, or just looking to have some fun on the open water with the family, you’ll need a chartered captain to show you the way, and Captain Nick’s Nautical Wheeler is the best in town!
