Fishing the
Marquesas Keys
The
Marquesas Keys has been a magical place for me ever
since I was a boy. Back then my father took me there
to snorkel the target wrecks and the patch reefs. We
went there to get away from the crowds.
Now I am
fishing the Marquesas every chance I get. I go out
there at the drop of a hat to show my clients what I
think is some of the prettiest waters in the US. One
of my favorite things to do when I get there with a
client who has never been there before is say
"Welcome To the Marquesas" to let them know that
they are someplace special.
Read My Article on The Guide to The Marquesas Keys
See My
Rates Page for
the many ways I fish the Marquesas.
I am
booking Marquesas Keys Fishing charters on board my
Yellowfin Bay boats.
This gives us the best of all worlds of fishing.
Flats, Inshore, Near shore, Reef and Wreck. I have
fished the Marquesas for years in my Flats boats but
realized the limitations. With the bay boats my
clients are happier, dryer, and catch more fish as
we are able to cover 5 times the area with my bow
mounted trolling motors. For my fly fishermen, its
the greatest trip ever. Travel time to the Marquesas
in this boat is around 40 minutes.
I am
still fishing the Marquesas on my flats boat for
those that want the traditional method of fishing. 6
and 8 hour trips only. Please note special pricing
below. Also, using the flats boat relies on good
weather. If good weather is not present, a
flats trip rate will be charged and we
will fish the flats that are more protected.
Flats
we can fish for Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, Jacks,
Snappers, Huge Barracudas, Huge Sharks, Bluefish,
Trout, Redfish, Lady fish, Mutton Snappers, Baby
Goliath Groupers, Baby Tarpon and more.
Near
Shore we can hit the patch reefs and toss
artificials and catch Grouper, Snappers, Mackerel
Huge Barracudas, Jacks, Sharks, and many more
offering my artificial anglers the most fun they
have ever had.
Wrecks there are a plenty. We have 10 wrecks
within 2 miles of the shores of the Marquesas to
explore and fish. Here we will encounter large
Barracudas ready to eat anything, Mutton, Lane,
Mangrove, Cubera and Yellowtail Snappers, also Huge
Permit cruising the wrecks like they own the place
ready to gobble up a crab. Sometimes there are
hundreds of Permit.
