Middle Florida Keys Fishing

Off Marathon in the heart of the Florida
Keys, there is an elevation in the
ocean floor from 1,000 feet to a peak of
480 feet below sea level. This is
called the "Marathon Key West Hump"
and is a very popular feeding ground
for gamefish like blue and white
marlin, mako shark, amberjack and
blackfin tuna. Private fishing charters
frequent this spot for some of the best
angler fishing in the world.

Another thing that makes the Marathon
area so unique for fishing is that the
Gulfside in the Middle Keys is deeper
and more open than the surrounding
Keys. This helps on those days when
it's too rough to fish on the oceanside.

Six world record catches have been
made by anglers fishing with Marathon
guides since 1991.
