About
Marathon reef and wreck fishing is popular with experienced anglers and first time fishermen, both young and old.
Reef fishing doesn't require any specialized skill-set - you simply wait for the bite and set the hook. Snapper are our primary catch, they are plentiful year round and delicious!
