New years fishing report!
New years fishing report!
Jan 5, 2026 Marathon
Fishing has been great lately! We've been catching lots of Spanish mackerel, which are always a fun fight. Besides those, we've also been reeling in some mangrove snapper, perfect for a tasty dinner. Recently, we even hooked into some giant tiger sharks! It's been pretty exciting. Looking ahead, as long as the weather stays nice, I think the fishing will continue to be good. So, get out there and enjoy it!

Don't forget about the sharks, providing thrilling catches for those seeking a bigger challenge. Offshore, the pursuit of sailfish and wahoo is in full swing, offering memorable experiences.

Hey everyone, John here! Just wanted to give you the lowdown on what's biting off Marathon. The Spanish mackerel bite has been insane! Seriously, the bite has been non-stop all week. We're talking about easy limits, with some folks pulling in around 30-50 fish each trip. And the size? We're seeing a lot in the 2-7 pound range. But it's not just mackerel out there โ€“ we're also catching sharks, snapper, trout, and more. The variety has been great, so there's something for everyone. The weather's been unreal too. Flat seas, sunshine, couldn't ask for better conditions. If you're looking for some fast action and a great time, now's the moment to get out there!
