David's crew his wife and daughter strikes gold on Marathon's productive winter waters!

Hot bite and happy crew! David and his crew ,wife and daughter joined us for an early morning winter offshore fishing charter down in Marathon. Clear conditions throughout the day made for perfect fishing weather as we headed out on our reef and Offshore Fishing Charters in Marathon, FL – Chase the Best Game Fish with Johnny Maddox Charters Papa 31.

With our gear rigged and ready, we worked the offshore waters using a combination of trolling, drift fishing, and bottom fishing techniques. The yellowtail snapper were cooperative and we managed to put some solid fish in the boat. Marathon's offshore and reef waters are ideal for this type of fishing because the deep water structure and current breaks hold bait consistently, making it prime territory for targeting pelagic species. We wrapped up the trip with tight lines and smiles all around down in gator country!
