Marathon is a central town in Florida Keys where it is the main hub for marathon fishing charters. These charters take people fishing and target different types of sport fish. There are several types of fish like mahi-mahi wahoo tuna, sailfish, and snapper that live in the warm Atlantic water which flows in the area of Keys. There is a lot of protective rules made by Florida Wildlife Commission like limiting how many fishes can be caught, how big/catchable can be fish and the seasonal timings when fishing is not allowed. Charter captain is obliged to tell passengers these rules before departure. Usually, fishers have several options to choose fish that range from half day to full day but definitely they are equipped with sonar, live bait stations, safety gears fulfilling the requirements of U.S. Coast Guard. The best fishing windows usually depend on weather conditions and chances of tropical storms or sudden squalls. Late spring to early fall typically gives the most stable conditions. Many charters focus on environmental responsibility and some even do catch-and-release of the big pelagic species while strictly following the "leave no trace" policy on the water. Understanding such operational aspects can help anglers in making the right decisions when choosing marathon fishing charters not only for their pleasure but also for the promotion and preservation of the environment. And do not forget about safety and having fun!
