Marathon's fishing conditions vary with seasons, tides, and weather patterns that Captain Jojo monitors closely. Winter months typically offer cooler temperatures and calmer seas, while summer brings warmer water temperatures and afternoon thunderstorm possibilities. The area's extensive flats system provides excellent fishing during moving tides, while offshore reefs and wrecks hold fish throughout the tidal cycle.
Water depths range from just a few feet on the flats to hundreds of feet offshore, creating diverse fishing opportunities within a short boat ride. Local knowledge of current patterns, bait movements, and seasonal fish behavior makes the difference between a good day and an exceptional day on the water. Captain Jojo's experience in these waters ensures you'll fish the right spots at the right times for maximum success.
