FISHING WITH TAD
"I would like to extend an invitation for you to spend a day with me on the water," says Captain Tad. He operates a 26-foot Glacier Bay Catamaran powered by two Yamaha 4-stroke engines. Catamarans are very stable fishing boats and ride through the water much smoother than standard V-hull boats. You will find this gives you a much more comfortable boating experience. Captain Tad furnishes all equipment and no fishing license is required on the boat. Whether you choose to go fishing, diving or lobstering, Captain Tad has over a decade of knowledge and experience on the waters surrounding the middle Florida Keys.
Captain Tad says, "If you bring your own boat, I can show you a few tricks about fishing in our area. We have great fishing and diving year round here in Marathon. I love to fish the Bay wrecks, which produce lots of action. Mangrove Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, Sharks and Goliath Grouper are abundant. Also I don't want to leave out Cobia, a great fish for the table. If you love Sport Fishing, we catch Dolphin, Sailfish, Tuna and Marlin in the Gulf Stream. For the Deep Dropper on the ocean wrecks, large Grouper, Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail are for you. Let's not forget about the abundant amount of lobster in the bay. Whatever time of year, I will help you target what is biting. So let's get together for a fun fishing day!"

If there is anything we can do, just ask. We're right here for you."
