Chicago Joe and Crew Fishing Vacation



Just got finished with Chicago Joe and Crew. On the whole it was pretty good fishing. We had two real good days, four good but not spectacular days and one that just plain sucked due to wind. The crew wanted action and some eating fish. Jacks like those in the picture and mackerel provided plenty of action.



Lane snapper like the one above, mangrove snapper, nice porgies and on the last day a nice red grouper provided dinner. I was disappointed that I could not get them on a few sailfish. We raised one and had it spooking our baits on day six, but couldn't get it to eat. That kinda sums up the trip. Plenty of action, lots of nice fish but a lot of missed opportunities.

Marathon in the Florida Keys should be your next fishing vacation destination. Join us for charter fishing, fishing guide trips or our fishing 101 so you can fish on your own with better success.

Tight lines,

Capt. Dallas

ETA Joe sent me some more of your pictures.

  1. Capt. Dallas,thanks again for helping to make our annual Christmas in the keys vacation a great experience for me and my family...For those of you who are thinking about hiring a guide for your keys fishing trip,you won't go wrong by using Dallas...He puts you on the fish.....If the wind is blowing[and it always does],he knows where to go where you don't get beat up,and still puts you on the fish....another thing that impressed me about Capt.Dallas was how well he worked with my kids...They range in age from 8 to 18.He really took extra time to teach Kelly my 8 year old how to fish and have fun....We spent a week on the boat with Dallas and his sense of humor really keeps things fun....what i learned most from our trip is that the size and quantity of the catch isn't what makes a great trip...it was the people on board the boat that made this trip so special...And D allas was a big part of that!!!seeya next year,,,Chicago Joe
