North Carolina family nets a fine dinner!

Nothing says “family bonding” like a day on the water catching dinner.  The extended Cox family chose beautiful Tranquility Bay Resort for their first visit to Marathon Florida Keys and they included a half day fishing trip with SeaSquared. We headed to calm Florida Bay and the crew put together a very respectable cooler full [...]

Golden bounty for the Wooden family

A reel Florida Keys adventure for this group from Washington! They first tried their hand at tarpon fishing at Bahia Honda and, today, experienced the bluewater.  We lucked into a nice school of dolphin and the trio of anglers did a great job of boating their limit, including a handsome bull.  A bonus wahoo and [...]

Not enough fingers!

We always take a picture of our shark wranglers holding up fingers to indicate how many sharks they caught.  Well, these guys didn’t have enough fingers! Visiting Marathon for the Faro Blanco Invitational Tarpon Tournament, Tim and James opted for an additional shark trip.  Basically, a repeat of their experience with SeaSquared last year. Except [...]

Faro Blanco Invitational Tarpon Tournament, Day 1

Father-son go 2 for 3. Unfortunately, one tarpon was eliminated due to regulations regarding touching the leader, but Glenn and Sam had a great time anyway! And, the famous Florida Keys sunset is always a bonus when evening tarpon fishing at Bahia Honda! The Faro Blanco Invitational Tarpon Tournament (commonly known as the McDonald’s Tournament) [...]

Shark fishing adventure for father-son from Jersey

Bull and lemon sharks kept them busy! The first shark to take a bait today was a young bull.  We primarily get lemon sharks, with the occasional bull and blacktip, so I was really pleased to see this guy show up today. It gave Daniel a good 30-minute fight before coming to the boat for [...]

Tarpon adventure for crew from Kentucky

Fish of a (young) lifetime for Ben Senneff! This group had three trips booked with us, but the non-stop rain limited them to just one tarpon outing.  With a short window of opportunity, we headed to Bahia Honda Bridge where the tarpon have been rolling. First time tarpon anglers need to pay close attention to [...]

Danielson family fishing, day two: sharks!

The Florida Keys fishing adventure continues with Dinner and a Show! When you book a fishing trip in the Keys, you need to be flexible as to what type of fishing you’ll actually get to do.  Weather plays a big role in our fishing opportunities.  Fortunately, with the various Atlantic, Gulf, Bay and Bridge venues, [...]

Pure pandemonium: 18 sharks in 4 hours!

Ron Bernhard wanted his grandsons to fall in love with fishing in the Florida Keys. We’re pretty sure this shark fishing adventure did the trick! Everyone had their turn at bringing in the huge lemon sharks. At the end of the trip, there were plenty of big smiles and sore arms and 18 sharks were [...]
