Marathon Key Report

Offshore-911 · 08-17-2009, 08:05 PM

Well we done our yearly vacation down to Marathon and man were the seas rough we stayed from Aug 1st through the 14th and I think we had 2 days toward the end where the seas were 2-3 most of the time they were 3-5+. Done a few dives the first week with very little vis and killed a few Mangroves and Hogfish. The second week was a little better we found a spot about 10 miles southwest of Marathon that was clear everyday we went. Water was around 45-55ft and so was the vis and Hogfish galore only if we would have found this spot the first week. Its was a good time away from work with good friends so that made up for everything.

We got around 70 but there on my buddies camera, piles of shorts down there this year!

I used to go to Marathon all the time and quit and started going to Ft Pierce. Used to be less people amd more bugs and way bigger too.
