Casting off from the dock in Marathon Key FL, Captain Kevin and his first mate are loaded and ready to go, the fish calling out to him letting him know were they are hanging out, perfectly prepared bait, gear, and waypoints his charters never disappoint. Great time, great staff, and the best Captain in the keys. Bring your coolers, (that's plural) because you will not leave empty handed or without great stories. If you have not been charter fishing before call Kelly's Greens to set up your trip. Ask lots of questions and the will walk you through what is needed before, on and after the charter. ( the cleaning of the fish is almost as entertaining as the catching) again; You won't be disappointed.

The mate was especially patient and kind with our young boys and really made sure they had the best time possible! This was following a night time charter with a different boat in the area, and we caught twice as much fish and had a much better time with Sea Dog. The shared catch aspect was originally a deterrent for us, it's something we're really not a fan of. In the end it worked out fine though, and we were glad we decided to give them a try!

We excitedly booked at the end of January for a trip at the beginning of June, making it clear to Capt. Joel that the goal was to catch a sailfish or marlin or something to write home about - a memory our graduate would carry with him for a lifetime. I understand it was a stretch goal, but we quickly realized when we arrived for our very expensive 6 hour deep sea charter ($1600 + $300 tip), that Capt. Joel and his first mate, Eric, only ever intended to bait for Mahi - prey which is plentiful without the "deep sea"journey. The entire trip was a search for Frigate birds - apparently the real fishing guides. The fishing lines may have actually been in the water for only 45 minutes to an hour of the entire trip. We fared some rough, stormy seas to catch some very mediocre baby Mahi - total of 3 caught in what ended up being a 7.5 hour trip - plus a lost sea dinghy that the 1st mate and captain felt was worth retrieving for their own personal gain while we were politely grinning and baring an awful experience of a hopeless fishing expedition. Unfortunately, we got to watch one Mahi filet slip out of the first mate's hands into the ocean when he was cleaning the fish. I have to say, I did feel bad for him being left in the pouring rain to clean our fish while our captain dismissed himself to the indoors. Thankfully the 1st mate's friend came along with an umbrella after 15 minutes or so. At least we had enough for the three of us to have a "cook your catch" dinner at Castaways, along with some Ana Banana consolation fishing shirts and hats to memorialize this unremarkable trip. We were so excited and then so Incredibly dissatisfied with this trip. Please do yourself a favor and skip this Captain and skipper.

My brother in law and my self were going to Marathon for a fantastic vacation in an air b and b for the last week of March and both loving fishing we thought it would be an excellent time to charter a boat and have a local give us a DEEP sea fishing experience as that is something we both havent had. Marathon is known for its Marlin, Tuna, Grouper and Mahi mahi to name a few and we were excited to battle these monsters. We by passed the group charter because they really cant do any deep sea fishing and mainly stay static. We ended up choosing to charter a 3/4 day trip for $1050. The first day was canceled due to high wind ...understandable. Second day we were up bright and early only to be told he was going to be late. We were on the boat by 8:15 and the first thing JJ says is "Ok whos got the money?" So we paid the man and then it got interesting with the rules of the boat. Basically none but if we had any questions just ask and oh yah if you need to pee just pee off the front of the boat and if your shy ..."here just pee in this cup and throw it overboard". I kid you not this is what this man said. And #2 we dont even entertain that thought even though there is a head on board the boat. It was starting to feel like we had been friends for a long time and he just borrowed the boat so we needed to be extra carefull with it especially when he busted out the soft scrub every 5 minutes to clean the boat. We then end up at the bait store and he purchased some frozen Ballyhoo I guess thats all you need. From there it was a five minute jaunt to the reef so I thought we could catch bait fish. We were using #2 not 2.0 but #2 hooks without any weights and just letting the tiny piece of Ballyhoo he put on the hook sink it. He cut up 2 Ballyhoo to use and we caught tiny fish after tiny fish( not keeping any of them)and I finally busted out my own rod and set up with a simple leader a 1/2 oz weight and a larger hook and what do you know we caught the only keeper on that rig. THis went on till around 10 when the group charter boat showed up and fished not far from us. That was a clear sign that I ignored but JJ moved the boat after that to another spot just 2 minutes away. No 7 mile bridge no marathon hump and still no deep sea fishing. Now to be clear JJ offers 2 different types of fishing experiences to choose from one being reef fishing and the other being deep sea fishing and we were clear on wanting the deep sea experience. At this point we were pressing for the deep sea fishing and he gets frustrated and says we dont have enough time but goes below to rifle through his gear and 1/2 hour later he pulls out these 2 ratty old lures which sucked because you cant even use all four lines if you only have 2 lures. That wasnt stopping us so I rigged up a split beak Ballyhoo rig I learned from you tube and used it as our third line. 20 minutes and wham zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrzrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzz the Ballyhoo rig got hit hard. The line was spooling out so JJ stopped the boat to grab the line...I kept asking what he needed like should I get the other lines out of the way and such but he didnt say anything just started to reel it in and it kept taking the line. I was super excited and all the baloney that happened earlier was the furthest from my mind as this was a big fish. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzSnap.... dam it was pure adrenaline and then complete silence. We set the lines back up just the 2 this time so we could maximize our time while I set up another Ballyhoo rig. I grab the pole that had the original rig that broke and started to pull the line out so I could feed it through the eyes of the pole and guess what ZERO drag. At this point I was getting sick to my stomach and needed to use the head. He is not happy that my inner Grogoo has to use the force on his boat but reluctantly he moves a bunch of stuff around so the toilet can be accessed. He then says im good to go and lets me in and shuts the door. What do you know there is no light to turn on and its pitch black ,,,,go figure. Not sure what he was thinking as this could get a whole lot messier for him lucky my aim is true. He calls it at 1 and says we need to head back in....back in with 1 9 inch fish that he cleans for us ...thanks man you rock JJ. What ever you do dont let him pick what to do because he will pick the easiest least gas using least fish catching least boat cleaning thing to do. Bait used - 3 frozen Ballyhoo , didnt have enough lures only 2 Fish caught - 1 Keeper
