Silly good mangrove snapper fishing

Just needed some tasty tidbits for a fish fry tonight. Our friends, Chris and Kristy, are having a few friends over tonight so we popped out to catch some tasty mangrove snapper. With winds gusting to a good 30+ mph and the horizon bobbing back and forth, the five of us went to one of [...]

Marathon Florida Keys Monthly Fishing Forecast – February 2012

Fish love the warm conditions as much as the anglers do! We’re having a pretty warm winter here in Marathon, with not too many days requiring sweatshirts and socks as compared to the past two years. This bodes well for February fishing, as the fish don’t like cold temps any more than the anglers do. [...]

Gulf fishing for the guys

Our goal was to find the big king mackerel that hang out in the Gulf of Mexico this time of year. Well, we gave it a good shot.  I ran the boat all over the Gulf and we found too many gag grouper and jack crevalle to count.  But none of the big kings. So [...]

Hawk Channel was the ticket this afternoon

It’s amazing how fast the conditions can change when fishing in the Florida Keys! This morning’s group limited out on snapper on the reef, so I thought this afternoon would be more of the same.  Not so.  No big deal.  The beauty of fishing in the Marathon area is the variety of venues we have. [...]

Awesome day of fishing for friends from Minnesota

The reef treated us well today! Mike and Denise Stehr and their friend, Kim Farr, all from Minnesota, shared a half day of fun fishing with SeaSquared Charters. The trio caught their limit of snapper, which consisted of 29 good size yellowtail and a 10-pound mutton landed by Mike. A couple of tasty porgy rounded [...]

Hogfish and more for Gene from Lehigh Acres FL

I’m not sure if he can dance, but this Gene Kelley sure can fish! We started out on the reef, where Gene made quick work catching his limit if yellowtail snapper plus some hogfish. We then moved in to Hawk Channel looking for porgy and more hogfish.  Gene caught a few of each.  He also [...]

Kings rule the day for the Boone group

When John Boone, from Kingwood TX, booked his charter he told us they wanted a nice relaxing day with some fish to have for dinner. And, that’s what they got … plus some.  John shared his trip with his sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Jim Akers, from Fork Union VA. We headed straight to the [...]

Nice afternoon on the water for the O’Connell clan

They read our reviews on TripAdvisor and decided SeaSquared was the charter boat for them. Bill and Irma O’Connell and their kids, Dillon and Devon, from Acworth GA, had a nice afternoon fishing in Hawk Channel just offshore from Marathon Florida Keys. They caught a bunch of lane and mangrove snapper, delicious hogfish and porgy [...]

Monster amberjack for 10 year-old from the UK!

During a four-week holiday in Marathon Florida Keys, Dr. Michael Scott treated his son, Luke, to a day of fishing with SeaSquared Charters. The goal for today was to raise some sailfish.  A couple of hours into it with no action, we decided to change strategy and head to the wrecks.  Just as we  were [...]
