Monster amberjack for 10 year-old from the UK!
Posted on January 2, 2012 by Editor
During a four-week holiday in Marathon Florida Keys, Dr. Michael Scott treated his son, Luke, to a day of fishing with SeaSquared Charters.
The goal for today was to raise some sailfish. A couple of hours into it with no action, we decided to change strategy and head to the wrecks. Just as we were moving on, a sail free-jumped right at the side of the boat! No landing, but Mike and Luke at least got to see one up close.
We dropped on a wreck and the guys caught two very large mutton snapper. I then noticed a strained look on Luke’s face indicating he had something really big on his line. He did a great job wrestling the beast to the boat and only needed a little assistance at the end, when he was rewarded with an 80-pound amberjack!
To finish off the day, we stopped on a patch reef and added porgy to the day’s catch.
The amberjack will be smoked and packaged for the Scott family to enjoy back home in Cranleigh England.
Great haul for the Perry group from Illinois

One of the greatest aspects of fishing in Marathon Florida Keys is the tremendous variety you can catch in a single outing!
Mike Perry, his wife Roberta, their girls Anna and Anwyn, and family friend Joe Savor – all from Illinois – were treated to the full array of Florida Keys reef fish.
In their three-quarter day charter, the group caught 10 hogfish, including a monster 5-pounder landed by Roberta.
They also caught 3 Spanish mackerel, 2 big mutton snapper, a red grouper, a gag grouper and some porgy.
They took some of their fish with them to eat right away, but we packaged, froze and shipped the bulk of it to them in New Lenox IL.
At SeaSquared Charters, we’re proud to be Number One for family fun fishing in Marathon. And, Jason’s attention to the junior anglers is a big part of all that …
Seeing their big smiles as they successfully reel in a fish is well worth the extra effort we put in …
Kings rule the day for the Boone group
Posted on January 6, 2012 by Editor
When John Boone, from Kingwood TX, booked his charter he told us they wanted a nice relaxing day with some fish to have for dinner.
And, that’s what they got … plus some. John shared his trip with his sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Jim Akers, from Fork Union VA.
We headed straight to the reef in search of yellowtail snapper. We caught a few but lost a lot more to the Goliath grouper and kingfish. So, we switched gears and started bringing the kings into the boat, with the largest coming in at about 25 pounds.
When we had enough of that action, I came inshore and we fished the patches, where the crew added some delicious porgy to their catch.
They ate their yellowtail and porgy at Porky’s Bayside BBQ that night, and I’m smoking their king mackerel for them. They ended up with 21 pounds of smoker kingfish – yum!
Nice afternoon on the water for the O’Connell clan

They read our reviews on TripAdvisor and decided SeaSquared was the charter boat for them.
Bill and Irma O’Connell and their kids, Dillon and Devon, from Acworth GA, had a nice afternoon fishing in Hawk Channel just offshore from Marathon Florida Keys.
They caught a bunch of lane and mangrove snapper, delicious hogfish and porgy and a bonus Florida pompano.
They had such a good time, they posted their own review on TripAdvisor and Bill and Dillon booked a tarpon trip for May.
